"In the current atmosphere the label of English as the official language is closer than ever to becoming a law."

If only...

[Behind Liberal Lines]

If "English only" fails, congress should immediately pass a federal law requring every single media outlet in the United States, to publish/broadcast in both English and Spanish at their own expense.

NBC reporter himself, Mike Taibbi, who described the current atmosphere as 'nast

I get the richest satisfactiong knowing Mike made a really bad career decision, getting into mainstream broadcast journalism...

Ok, so how do these supposed underpaid slaves to the American dream scrounge up enough to send their half dozen anchor kids to private school in NY?

[mtbopfuyn]

At the school's site under certification the school "is also authorized by the U.S. Department of Immigration to enroll non-immigrant foreign students." What???

I got a chuckle over the term "international camper" I recently heard.

I love when illegal aliens live in fear and trepidation. They are invaders in dire need of deportation. If the hacks in DC obstruct a sane deportation policy then next best is they live with uncertainty. This is my country not theirs! To hell with them same as anyone else who invades my sovereign nation of America

I thought this was very interesting ..http://ebbs.english.vt.edu/hel/helmod/america.html

Don't expect the world to be given to you when you get here.
Also, where do people who aren't even citizens get the right to protest in our country? Immigration is the back-bone of America, we are a settler-state, but do it LEGALLY AND LEARN THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF ENGLISH.We should not have to learn your language and we should not have to change ours to suit you..When i did traveling I did learn the language of the country I would visit(well I learned enough to get along) and had a book with me to be able to communicate with shop keepers..

"While the intent may not be there, I believe this amendment is racist."

Dingy Harry had to go back to the floor and retract this statement by apologizing to the Senator who proposed the amendment.

"If "English only" fails, congress should immediately pass a federal law requring every single media outlet in the United States, to publish/broadcast in both English and Spanish at their own expense."

NO! If "English only" fails congress should pass a federal law requiring every single media outlet publish in ALL languages in use in the U.S. Why should Spanish be given a higher priority than any other language. While they're at it: NO MORE PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH! I refuse to do it!

Not just in Spanish, but in the native tongue of every other immigrant who has come here. After all, it's only fair.

The Today show has drifted even further to the left in recent years. It won't get any better when Perky Katie leaves because the new Perky Bimbo will be just as bad. And, Matt Lauer is ... how can I put this ... dumb.

"Dingy Harry had to go back to the floor and retract this statement by apologizing to the Senator who proposed the amendment."

Waht about the rest of us? He essentailly caled anyone who wants English as the official language a racist. Just guessing but I'd say that includes a good number of Democrats and the vast majority of Americans. Liberals hate this country, don't they?

Saw this yesterday

1. NAFTA
2. CAFTA
3. SHAFTA (Senate Hoses Americans For The Aliens)

"But opponents say the bill's wording, 'that unless otherwise authorized no person has a right to have the government provice services or . . . materials in any language other than English' is aimed squarely at Hispanics,"

"Aimed" at hispanics? Sounds like his own wording seeks to conjur up in the reader's mind a notion of hostility towards hispanics, as in 'aiming' a gun or some object of harm. In fact the issue is about an aid to assimilation, and therefore an aid to national unity, which is a benefit to all Americans.

The liberals are not concerned about America though, they are concerned about the multi-cultural project they are trying to complete, a project which destroys the 'evil' traditional America and turns our soveriegn nation into a small part of a greater whole called globalism. These liberals know full well that the root word of 'diversity' is "divide", and they further know that a house divided will fall, which is what they really seek.

"But opponents say the bill's wording, 'that unless otherwise authorized no person has a right to have the government provice services or . . . materials in any language other than English' is aimed squarely at Hispanics,"

Sounds like a tricky little catch phrase that refers to illegal aliens.
