EX-CUUUUUUSE MEEEEE!
My apologies to Steve Martin. Did you see what Hillary's objection to making English the "official" language was? It showed her true colors. When asked if English should be the official language, Hill was so concerned that she voted against using "official" and chose instead "national" because if English is the "official" language, the government can't hire translators to work in hospitals.
She tossed out a red herring that ballots could only be printed in English, not Spanish, and slid the translator thing in under the tag (it's a baseball analogy for those of you who have led sheltered lives). First, if ballots are only in English, I think that's a good thing. If you don't have the desire to learn the language but want to share in the bounty of this country, then you shouldn't be able to vote until you do. I don't care how many politicians promise you a free ride on the gravy train. Immigrate legally, learn the language or leave. I live in a bi-lingual state and it only leads to a state of confusion.
But the translator thing showed what Hill really thinks that the role of government should be. Like her national health care plan that went down quicker than a Rosie O'Donnell movie, senator Clinton wants the government to be the provider in all of your lives. Never mind that hospitals are mainly private concerns. Never mind that BILLIONS are spent each year needlessly printing information from government offices in hundreds of languages. Never mind that most legal residents can read and write English or they want to learn it as quickly as possible (I still think that they shouldn't be able to work the drive through at Burger King until you can understand them though). Nope Hill wants you to have to rely on the government to be able to function in society.
Of course, these things come with a price tag. I'm sure that there is a tax increase in there somewhere. Now of course, the Democrats will say they are only going to raise taxes on the richest of Americans. But at the last minute someone will add a global warming rider on the bill that will tax carbon dioxide production. It sounds good doesn't it. The only rub is that you are the world's primary producer of carbon dioxide. That's right, you. If you don't want to be taxed for your contribution to global warming then you are just going to have to stop breathing. Yep, every time that you exhale you are causing the destruction of the planet. Maybe Al will let you use some of his carbon offsets.
UPDATE: My wife tells me that Rush talked about this yesterday. I checked his website and sure enough, Rush had a brilliant monologue on this yesterday. Great minds think alike I guess but I don't want to be accused of ripping off Rush. No one is as clean and articulate as the great one.

Hello.
I would consider it a privilege if you would add my political blog "The Tygrrrr Express" www.blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com to your list of linked sites if you feel the quality is high.
Happy June.

Good Afternoon!
If you recall my name you attempted to patronise me on another persons Blog!
I decided to leave a note on here, I think you should come onto my blog, lilmoonbeaming, and get some real truth!
By the comments you left I can tell that like an awful lot of your fellow country men, you have only a slender grasp of how the world really is. Honestly, you would learn alot. And it is important to recall, europeans have a vast wealth of knowledge
and tradition and culture, you simply do not possess. That is not comment designed to say "we are better than you" Just a truth. If you are wise you would learn from Europeans experience, after all we have spent many many centuries killing each other and as many people from other nations as possible..... We know what its all about!!!!
And, have to say, your president is an utter imbecile!!!
Does he represent you????
Anyway, genuinely hope to see a post or two from you, it would be nice to learn some more about your views and what your peoples views are!!!
Take it easy!!!!
lilmoonbeam,
I don't normally respond to comments. As you can tell, I don't even post very often. However, I need to correct you. I didn't attempt to patronize you on another blog. I mocked you on this blog. As for my slender grasp of "how the world really is", I'm simply not interested in adopting the culture of societies that we have to keep bailing out of trouble.
Thanks for the comment. I'm a proud American just as you are an arrogant European. I'm afraid that we will have to agree to disagree.
I noticed that you did not approach any one of points I invited you to address!
Quite clearly you have not the intelligence to enter into a discussion! I dont see where any of what I have said leads you to conclude that I am arrogant?
The main problem you guys have as a nation, when it comes to the rest of the world, is that as a people, you have no idea what your own government is up to! Then you blindly talk about being proud of being an American! What does that mean? Your proud because of an accident of birth??
a quote from you
"I'm simply not interested in adopting the culture of societies that we have to keep bailing out of trouble."
Who suggested you adopt any other culture? And further, the notion that "YOU" bail "us" out of trouble is laughable, perhaps you are referring to World War II. If Britain had fallen the WORLD would have fallen. Know your history boy, know your history. Your nation stood on the sidelines until the last possible minute, which led to a prolonging of the war, leading to Millions more dying all across the world, while selling weapons to the Soviet union, that delay ultimately resulted in the Iron curtain falling and the begining of the Cold War. And whether you have the capacity to understand or not that had a DIRECT impact on this modern world. Particularily to do with Al-Queda and Osama Bin Laden!
Amercian stupidity, Greed and Arrogance has done great harm in the last 100 years!
You all believe having the most money and the biggest guns makes you great!
NEED I SAY MORE?????
But like I said, the Government Does not represent the people!!
Very few do!!
