meanwhile Laura Bush is reported as saying regarding the national anthem, "I don't think there's anything wrong with singing it in Spanish."

"alongside"?

I thought it was raised above an upside down US flag. But then there were numerous such raisings.

Were there 2 poles (one Texas, one US)? How else could they fly 2 distinct flags "alongside"?

There's nothing wrong with singing it in any language. What's wrong is 11 million illegal aliens within are borders and milquetoast politicians supporting them. And guys like this principal (don't like the door hit ya where...)

I AM SORRY!
The Term "BONEHEAD" that I adore, and use all of the time is NOW being reconstructed into a "Racial thing".
It no longer means someone with 'bones' in their head, i.e.
'sans brains' as opposed to grey matter in your head which is indicative of 'brains'..
I'm sorry..
what planet are we now inhabiting?...
oopps! My bad!
Inhabiting leads to co- habiting...
which I guess is now okay,
as long as the co habitor
has equal rights under the gay rights shepherd's law!!
Yeahh, that's it.. now I feel good..
Was that Okay with you guys?

..either the MSM is parsing words or she is, ..what upsets the average American citizen is CHANGING the words.

If that's true, she can go milk a horse.

I just got an email today that told of an even called "An Evening with Jane Fonda" being canceled for "family reasons". The real reason: they had only sold 40 tickets in an 1800 seat venue.

I emailed the H.I.S.D. office, complaining about his lack of judgment.

Perhaps lots of Houstonians did the same!

Anything Spanish language promoted by politicians should upset any American with kids, since we are threatened to have our kids taken from us if we don’t send the to school and learn English.

Furthermore it can be shown that immigrants legal or not will learn English within a generation, and that 2/3 or more immigrants that come from Latin America are illegal, so that anyone using Spanish has a high probability of being a recent arrival which follows a high probability of entering the country illegally,

Generally speaking, accepting Spanish is catering to lawbreaking, and is a slap in the face to legal parents who are forced by law and to teach and prepare their kids for their future using English, and is also detrimental to those who might benefit better economical by the language used most around the world by nations and cultures who have prospered.

Two bad practices: 1) printing ballots in two languages, and (2) letting the children with illegal parents enroll in school. Another, as you say, is making too many concessions to Spanish. I can think of two really good arguments against biliguralism: (1) Canada and (2) Belgium. You are inviting disunion.
