Should English Be The Official language
According to the most recent U.S. Census figures, more than 24 million Americans cannot speak English -- that’s more than double the 1990 total. Increasingly, English is being replaced by Spanish, Chinese, Korean and other languages. It is a matter of public record that the federal government has so far refused to declare English as the official language of the United States. In fact, the government continues enacting laws requiring the use of foreign languages in more and more official capacities -- and all at taxpayers’ expense!

I agreed with the part about "don't argue with an idiot. Get your facts straight. I cut and pasted the following:
Gaffney begins his column by purporting to quote Abraham Lincoln. Gaffney claims that Lincoln said: Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged. This quote has become a favorite weapon for those who want to criminalize criticism of the Leader and the War. Jack Murtha's opponent in the last election, Diana Irey, cited this quote while discussing Murtha's opposition to the war.
But this quote is completely invented. Lincoln never said it. This "quote" was first attributed to Lincoln by J. Michael Waller in Insight Magazine, in a 2003 article revealingly entitled: Democrats Usher in an Age of Treason. But as Waller himself now admits, the quote attributed to Lincoln is completely fraudulent. Waller wrote in an e-mail to FactCheck.org (h/t William Wolfrum): The supposed quote in question is not a quote at all, and I never intended it to be construed as one. It was my lead sentence in the article that a copy editor mistakenly turned into a quote by incorrectly inserting quotation marks. It was Waller, in The Washington Times' Insight Magazine, urging that anti-war Congressmen be hanged -- not Abraham Lincoln. But to justify their plainly un-American assault on our most basic constitutional liberties, neoconservatives like Gaffney simply invent quotes, attribute them to Abraham Lincoln, and continue to use them long after they have been debunked. Gaffney continues: It is, of course, unimaginable that the penalties proposed by one of our most admired presidents for the crime of dividing America in the face of the enemy would be contemplated -- let alone applied -- today. posted by

I think it is a no-brainer. I don't give a rat's patooty what you speak in your home, but in business, school, public, customer service via telephone, ENGLISH and ENGLISH only. Want to become a citizen? Learn my country's language. Want to vote? Learn my country's language. No other country in the world is as accomdating as we are and it boils down to money as always in this country.
