Maybe we should expel or banish Southerners with a drawl to wherever they came from until they learn to speak proper English, too, eh?

From the dual thread at LP it seems to be all the fault of the Bush Bots!

here is a new one at drudge front page

The Bush administration is developing a parallel legal system in which terrorism suspects -- U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike -- may be investigated, jailed, interrogated, tried and punished without legal protections guaranteed by the ordinary system, lawyers inside and outside the government say.

A EXCELLENT idea! It may be the only rational post you've ever made. Just stay the hell in the northeast,and we will all be better off.

Well, when I went north from Louisiana on business, I never had any trouble being understood or understanding, so I guess that a "Southerner with a drawl" must also speak American English sufficiently successfully to get along--which is what counts--not whether one speaks with an accent or not.

If you plan to live in the US, LEARN THE LANGUAGE. Same as if I were planning to retire to Mexico--the Mexicans would have every right to expect me to learn Spanish sufficiently well to get by.
