toastykitten ROLL CALL: English is now the national language of the US Govt?
I agree with the blogger - this just makes me sick to my stomach. I feel like my entire family has been devalued as American citizens and immigrants. They are attacking my parents, my parents who worked for years under the table, who raised several successful kids, and who with the limited resources they had managed to bring most of their extended family here (it only took them what? 20 years), because America is where "you are lucky". Not that this isn't part of a larger trend that's been going on for years - the abolishment of ESL classes, the stupid immigration bill, the dumb "wall" intended to keep out pesky Mexicans, the unbelievable denial that so many so-called Americans live in that allows them to think the First Amendment "goes too far".
I hate the Democrats. Unless they are also willing to sponsor a bill that will provide free English language classes to all American citizens and immigrants and prove they actually want to help people instead of bringing them down a notch for not being "American enough", they're not getting a dime from me.
Not that I was going to even bother after the Iraq war funding bill stupidity.
I have to come up with another word besides "stupid" - but that's just what all of this is. COMPLETELY STUPID.
