The pressure on BO and his socialist minions is growing. Let's keep the ball rolling by demanding English be made the nation's official language. Remember we are the majority!

Remember the balanced budget amendment? There were several versions so the congresscritters could sponsor different ones and nothing happened.

I've been writing about English bills for years. At least Boxer and Feinstein reply in English.

Where in the Constitution does it give the United States the authority to set an official language?

This is a State function. All the federal government can do is determine the language or languages it can do it’s business in.

It would be nice, but look what’s headed down the tracks. Stage 3 of the Congressional and Presidential assault against the American people.

Obama’s way with words

Dennis the Peasant catches another of those Obama fumbles (or was he just being candid?) , this one reported in the NYT.

President Obama said Monday that efforts to change the immigration system would be a major focus for his administration only next year, after other major priorities were accomplished, including passage of a new health care system.

“It’s very important for us to sequence these big initiatives in a way where they don’t all just crash at the same time,” he said, according to The Associated Press.

Yes, an official language for the purposes of government. That is what this will be, just as other nations have the same setup.

Did you know that English is the language of South Africa? Did you know that French is the language of Morrocco?

The purpose for a national language is to improve communication. One language for the purposes of legislation, justice, and administration including the military.

There is nothing sinister about this. Other languages are allowed, whether in print media, radio, television, books, businesses, etc.

I speak English and don't burn the flag, but I like the freedom to speak German and burn the flag if I feel like it.

AG Holder has been coming after Oklahoma for our English Only bill that will be on the ballot and is threatening to withhold funds to Oklahoma.

Elections have consequences and this time the consequences have been all bad.
