To be honest, I hope you get arrested at a pro-illegal alien rally, get thrown in jail, and butt r****d by one of those you are trying so hard to help. Maybe then you'd see the light.



Are you suggesting, c.i. should be thrown in internist camops again?

Au,

You seem to agree with cjhsa quite a few times (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Ya ever get in an elevator with a bunch of Muslims ranting on in Farsi? Did it make you wonder?

There you go.

You seem to be more concerned about people not speaking English than people staying in the States illegally.

Actually, there's an easy test for that: suppose that tomorrow, an amnesty was issued and all people staying in the US illegally would be made citizens (not that that would solve whatever "immigration problem" there is, but all the people already in the States would be there legally): Would you still be concerned about them not speaking English?

Well, what would the solution be? Force everybody to speak English? Why would you want to do that?



I just can't understand why the continuous ranting against people who speak one specific language isn't seen as racist.

Suppose somebody was going on about a specific religion (let's say Jews) in the way cjhsa is agitating against Spanish speakers. Let's say somebody would say it's a disgrace that people are not Christians. That they should be forced to convert. That he wouldn't want to eat in a restaurant run by Jews.

Would that be seen as racist?

If English were to become the official language, would Muslims be prohibited from speaking to each other in Farsi in elevators?

Even more important would be if English persons were prohibited from speaking English instead of American (well, and then there's the Scots and the Irish) how about Mississippians or Texans?

You may remember the Governor called me and Hole: UnChristian, unAmerican, unethical, bigot, racist.

All politics are local and I am for sending the illegals back but we know that is impossible. We are where we were with the black folks after the revolutionary war. We can't send them back and the more we piss them off the worse we will be in the future.

...

Sure we are being overrun but we are being out populated by the blacks also. What is the answer, only time will tell.


This is from an email sent by this anti-immigrant state senator.

Is this racist? (I would especially like to hear Advocates take on this).

Well, not quite "the only thing" we still have religion to contend with.

I admit "only" was off the cuff. Religion and guns are also "only's."

well, there does seem to be a connection between those three. ( I may be a gun owner but I'm exempt without the other two.)well maybe not, I've always hated Ugandans and am a avid devil worshipper. So, ok, I shouldn't be allowed within 500ft of any public school. I can live with that. Oh, wait I live within 500ft of a middle school. Nevermind.

Dys, we don't have to check out your posts. We know from experience that they are all crap.
You know advocate, I once posted an article I believed at the time to be true. I discovered it was not so I posted an apology and let it go at that without needing to attack someone else. You might try that.



I readily admitted my error, which implies an apology. But I felt I needed to attack you for your gratuitous attacks on me, and the crap that you usually post.

Ranting, whose ranting, making English the national language would merely change from what it is now the accepted language to the national language. That would in no way stop people from speaking the language of their native country.
I would note that even in the defeated amnesty legislation one of the prerequisites on the road to becoming a citizen is being able to speak English.
In addition IMO all documents issued by government, federal, state and local govt.'s should be printed in English only. I see no reason to cater people who come to the US and
do not want to assimilate.
