Do I support Gonzales?
Of course not.
If Republicans came out tomorrow for a multilingual America, the libs would be screaming "Ah, you're trying to keep immigrants down by shutting them out of the primary language in the nation!!!!"
Countries which have little to unify they people--be it language, religion, ethnicity--will splinter into closed-off enclaves and fall apart.
Ah, NOW I see why the libs are against English-only...
"Of course not." That was Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's answer Sunday on ABC's "This Week" when asked whether he would favor prohibiting bilingual ballots."Of course not"? Did he mean, "This is not something about which decent people differ"?
EXCEPT that ballot inititatives are worded particularly to mean certain things or to get voters to vote a certain way.
There are times where a NO vote means "yes, you want 'this'".
Different language ballots means different "ballot language". We aren't voting on the same things. Let's see some congress critter write a bill in some language other than English.
Language can be a powerful force for division within a society - maybe as powerful as religion. The US government should conduct it's business in English, and every immigrant should be required to demonstrate proficiency in English.
Bad law is bad law.
Whether it was passed by Congress, or some lesser body.
Bilingual ballots should not be necessary. Part of the process of becoming a citizen (the only people who have legal right to vote in Federal elections) is to show some proficiency in reading, speaking and understanding English.
Si
Al's a Mexican first, American second.
The libs are trying to create a divided nation because they look forward to the day when it all falls apart, and they can sweep in with a new socialist state that finally proves that communism works if it is just done right. Under the current constitution, it is just too hard to impose socialism, even with activist judges.
