Yesterday, on Sean Hannity's show, it was revealed that Sotomayor's carefully created "inspiring" life story was partly true and partly fiction. Seems that from the humble roots she claimed that kept her in the poor side of New York, she and her family moved into an exclusive neighborhood in her teens where she attended a swanky private high school before moving on to her Ivy Leagur college to study law. In addition, her equally poor brother somehow managed to scrape the funds together to attend medical school and become a doctor. Is the picture getting clearer?

But, I digress. While I normally read Victor Davis Hanson and nod my head, I am going to quibble about this from his article: Aside from Sotomayor’s notion that federal jobs should be parceled out on the basis of race, what exactly does she mean in an America that is intermarrying, integrating, and assimilating as never before?

One segment of our society is not assimilating at all. Know who it is? Hispanics!! They are demanding that WE learn THEIR language and the WE cater to their lifestyle.

Silly me. I thought that the reason they were flooding the US was to ESCAPE their lifestyle and assimilate into America and become part of the American dream. More often today, when I walk through a Walmart, I find myself uncertain where I actually am. Announcements are made over the PA in Spanish and the Spanish labels are displayed on the boxes of merchandise so that I have to turn the box around to the English side just to read what the thing is!!

And, it isn't just Walmart. Lowe's and Home Depot (to name but a few) are doing te same thing. In addition, when I call someplace, I have to press 1 for English or 2 for Spanish. When I go vote, I can choose between a ballot printed in English or one printed in Spanish. Again, I think I must have fallen asleep and missed something. One of the requirements for becoming a naturalized citizen is the ability to speak, read, write, and understand English. So, if voting is supposed to be limited to American citizens (native-born or naturalized), why are we taxpayers paying to print ballots and other government documentation in Spanish??

Neither Hanson, nor any of the people claiming that it is time to put an Hispanic on the SCOTUS address the fact that America is being assimilated by Mexico!! Zero's recent apology tour to Mexico City to apologize for America's existence is proof!!

Actually, you confuse first generation hispanics with later generations, who actually do intermarry. Second of all, you lump Mexican laborers in with Cuban bankers.

If you REALLY want to see a group that wishes to remain separate from the majority, that would be BLACK Americans, most of whom have been in this country alot longer than my own family.
