You know I remember when the whole "English as a second language" topic was brought up a few years ago. I was listening to one of the AM talk shows and an older gal called in with some comments. It went something like this I am paraphrasing so bear with)

"My parents immigrated from Italy in the early 1920's. They came in through Ellis Island and did the entire citizenship routine. I can remember asking my mom when I was young why we didnt speak Italian or really celebrate Italian customs the way I saw other families do. My mother scolded me sternly and said: "We are no longer Italian. We are Americans now and have the obligation to speak English and learn the ways of our new home and country."

It seems that we have lost a lot through the years

My sister works for the school district in Jackson Hole Wyo running the "Special Needs" program. About 4 years ago she and her daughter went to Mexico City and lived with a host family. The purpose of this? She was sent by the district to learn the customs and language of Mexico because they have so many up there working.
I thought WTF?

I am sooooo over this "Political Correctness" crap. I get it at work- I get it on the drive home-I get it at home watching the tube-I get it when I read the newspaper on Sunday morning.

I thought in America you were free to speak your mind.
In Amerika you cant I guess.

Our country is dying a slow death.
Of a cancer called Illegal Immigrants.
They are draining our resources like nothing else.
And our government will do nothing about it. In fact they encourage it. The Dems want the votes and the Repubs want the cheap labor.
