The irony here is too much to resist. The English-only crowd tends to be uneducated xenophobic idiots who not only do not know a second language, but have bearly masterd a first language. Here is a nice piece of evidence of the latter. Our good friend Pat Buchanan (I think Pat is too brilliant to be inolved with this nonsense) hosted a conference to explore ways that right-wingers could take back control. Look at this banner at the conference. I don’t think anyone noticed.
As further proof that right-wingers have no clue, one of the brilliant ideas to come forth from this meeting of the anti-minds was to voice support for an English-only policy. Isn’t that just a brilliant idea? It’s a winning strategy all the way. Of course these dolts indulged in the bullshit you would expect of them, such as ridculing Judge Sotomayor and expressing fear that President Obama is going to force us all to speak Spanish. Spanish is a very scary language, I know. And they wonder why they are in the minority.
