Spanish needs to become the second official language of the country, fully the equal of English. All laws and official documents should be available in Spanish; citizens should have the right to request either language in legal proceedings, contracts, road signs, you name it.

Democrapts are this country's home-grown fasicsts. One of their weaknesses and sins is an unwillingness to acknowledge the value of other cultures and languages, notably Spanish.

Let the fun begin. En garde, crappicrats.

I just woke up to give my daughter some cough medicine and couldn't help but read up some.

I'm too tired to check if I missed this in the article or if it was sarcasm, but I can hardly agree with it.

You'll hardly find someone who is more appreciative of the gifts bestowed upon us by our Latino neighbors, but I truly hang on to the concept of one nation, one people and one language they are united in.

The sledgehammer of "diversity" has only been used to drive our people part as Americans, not help them unite. The melting pot concept for this nation doesn't work unless those who come here are not willing to acclimate to our culture. Sure, that involves maintianing their old traditions and cultural heritage, but they need to be Americans first.

It may take a generation or so, it usually does, but they need to acclimate. We should not be permissive to those who would enable further division among our people. I am more than happy to culturally and socially segregate those we cannnot "assimilate". It weakens us as people, as Americans, to be divided by language.

Now I can speak three dialects of Portuguese and a fair amount of Spanish. Love it. My children are part Hispanic but all American. They'll be raised loving both cultures, but not a chance they'll ever entertain that Americans speak any other language than English. Spanish is simply a family and "hot babe" sort of thing.
