Then again, some people are just dense.

And STILL the numbnut doesn't get it? She's using information that has not a wit to do with the fact that Reagan REGRETED giving ILLEGALS AMNESTY
President Reagan PUBLICALLY made the statement and this gal still can't figure it out?

Hint: You might want to take a look at his interviews after he left office, sweetie.

Geez, you're not a very good role model, DD? It doesn't look good for laraza ya know.

Interesting.


We are a nation of immigrants and we should have the freedom to practice our religion/cultural differences so long as 'we do no harm'. I smell a lawsuit.

P.S. Waving a flag is harmless...what I do have a problem with are the people who burn our American Flag. I take issue with that and that is something that is more important to me.

Is it legal to burn the American Flag here in the United States? Anyone know for certain?

Well DD I thought you was smarter then your showing. Yes we are a Nation of Immigrants. But you have yet to figure out the difference between Immigrants and Illegal Aliens. But I forgot, you have been indoctrinated with Socialist teachings. That is why you are labeled a OBL. I wouldn't doubt you are a Card carrying memeber of the ACLU.

Why do you think there is something wrong with declaring English as our National Language?

I'd really like someone who feels the way you do about it explain it to me.

Flags are important....primarily the American flag.

With regard to the English language.......here are my thoughts:

Yes. THings are easier for all of us to communicate using one language.

I am one of those people who wonder about the times before the Tower of Babel. Before the destruction of the Tower of Babel......it is my understanding that people spoke one language -- but all in all, regardless of how many languages that are spoken in the United States.....there should be more than one official language here in the U.S. Other countries do it, and since we are the LAND OF THE IMMIGRANTS.....I don't see why we can't introduce Spanish as a second official language of the nation. In fact....if other cultural backgrounds want to introduce a bill, I say more power to them. It is their right to band together and create political shifting towards an idea that might work.

My two cents.

Well DD did you forget one Part about the Tower of Babel. God not only separated Man Kinds languages but he also at that time. He scattered them over the face of the earth. This is where you get different Kings, governments at.
But if you want a second Language. Then how about Chinese. It is the most spoken language in the world. But I have a feeling you would fight that tooth and nail. Even though you say that you wouldn't. We pretty well know you agenda. It not the agenda to keep the United States the way it is. It is to make it like you want it. A one world Government.

I don't see anything wrong with this. I don't see anything wrong with some Mexican flags on Cinco De Mayo. These are holidays of sorts and are meant in good fun. What I do have a problem with is hundreds of thousands of foreing nationals marching on American streets waving foreign flags demanding amnesty for breaking American federal immigration and labor laws.

I actually couldn't think of what Ireland's flag looked like so I had to check it out.



But I had no problem knowing what the Mexican flag looked like.

Who waves the Irish flag on St. Patrick's Day? I can't recall having seen it.

Maybe she likes the Irish flag because it looks so much like the Mexican flag (except that it doesn't have that ghastly buzzard on it).

You know....there are places in the southwest that have Street names in Spanish. SHould we change those?

What about the legal language....many of our legal terminology comes from the Latin language.

What the heck. We have the Mexican flag proudly flown all over town -sometimes above the American...

A Lou Dobbs commenter brought up an interesting dilemma tonight (? I just watched two shows in a row). There is another city that declared their offical language Spanish -why isn't the ACLU all over that.

The Spaniards were not illegal aliens, and the names that they gave places like San Antonio are a matter of history. They are remnants from a different age when the Spaniards controlled this territory rather than the Anglo-Americans. The lawful inhabitants of those regions now are English-speakers. .

As for legalese, not only does that have nothing to do with the spoken language, it also has nothing to do with our written laws, but rather with the custom of the professional guild (the Bar) that operates in the courts. Greek is still used in the sciences as well, but that is so that scientific terminologies can be universalized between the global scientific communities.

You really don't have much for arguments, do you? You also don't seem to like to answer direct questions. I wouldn't either if my arguments were as weak as yours.

Many legal terms are Latin. Much of our bible comes from Greek and Hebrew......
