The Obama administration believes that an inability to speak English is a civil right. It is even more distressing that the administration, legally speaking, may be right.
In April President Obama's Department of Justice threatened to cut off federal funding to Oklahoma if that state's voters approve a state constitutional amendment making English Oklahoma's official language, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) revealed.
The threat came in the form of a letter (PDF) from Acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King to Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson. King wrote that "implementation of this amendment may conflict with Oklahoma's obligations to protect the civil rights of limited English proficient (LEP) persons."
This would mean that such people, LEPs, have not only a federal right not to learn English but a right to have government services provided to them in languages other than English.

“America is done. . . . Our days are over.”
Don’t quit! That’s what the leftist pukes who are running things want you to do! Instead of talking about quitting, how about talking about taking back our beloved America? Whatever we have to do, let’s do it and bring America back home.
I have a message for the Feds and every non-English-speaking person living here:
“THIS IS AMERICA! WE SPEAK ENGLISH! THOSE WHO DON’T LIKE IT
CAN LEAVE!”

Same woman, I believe, that let the New Black Panther vote-intimidators go.
Forgive me, perhaps I misunderstood. It seemed like you were saying that Oklahomans are pansies. If that is not what you meant, I apologize. On your about page, you can ‘fly’ your state flag, and may also register for special pings from FReepers in and about your state. You can also see the list of FReepers in your state. When you put your cursor on a screenname it will tell you when one has joined and if you click the name it will take you to their ‘about’ page. I tend to be very protective of OK but I am sorry I jumped on you, let’s be FRiends.
I don’t go onto pages like you described just because all I want to d is be here like I have been for YEARS so that I can get the very latest and best news from credible cources which to me is Free Republic and Thank God for Jim Robinson the founder.
I’m glad you realized I did not do nor said what you thought I had done or said. I have jumped on people previously for grouping a whole state over things others have done. It’s silly and ludicrous to say the least because not all people are the same even though they live in the same state. I think we are ALL protective of our home states or our adopted states.
No harm done. We ARE FReepers who have the same goals for our familis and our country and the main thing is to remain united in this world of evil, chaos and CHANGE. Change that is doing none of us any good at all but destroying our country.
We have in the past and will continue to make mistakes in our country. No doubt about that because we are all human but...I will take any state in this country over any other country in the world, any day, any time and would never insult any of them.
Nothing to forgive...
