I have a problem with ballots in several languages. To become a citizen AND VOTE, you must have a reasonable command of the English Language. How many ILLEGAL Spanish votes were cast this election?

I totally agree. We are experiencing a backlash now against the slow, pervasive, but hitherto almost unnoticed entrance of Mexican influence into our culture. One of the most irritating things to many of us is so much stuff being in Spanish now.

When I call a private company and I get a 'for English press one' message, I'm, like, okay -- you're a private company, you have a lot of Mexican customers you have to deal with.

But when I call a government agency and get the same thing, it ticks me off. Petty? maybe. But a lot of people are feeling that way and there will be a backlash against it.

Like last year's backlash against substituting Holiday Season for Christmas.
