J_F_Shepard I take this statement as more fuming looney. >>>> multi-culturalism, something the RW is strictly against. multi-culturalism is a word like honor. vacant liberal minds proclaim "honor means dick." J_F_Shepard you are ignorant of what honor is and your stated hate of those who think differently shows your rejection of the traditional American culture. tom watson tosiwmee

We can respect without promoting and appreciate without propagandizing. Here's a good effort from an airline. A message to our Customers: Because your toes miss the ocean. Because fall in New England only happens in New England. Because the best fishing is always the furthest away. Because the quest for the ultimate pizza is neverending. Because your inner cowboy needs to yodel. Because every day is a sunny day somewhere. Because only a few towns really know how to polka. Because your hometown still feels like home. Because the sunset needs someone to show off for. Because babies are only babies for so long. Let's Fly. Luv, 33,000+ Employees of Southwest Airlines

You got one thing right JF, most conservatives believe we should use "English as an official language". What language do you think we should use in America? Your other points are just exposing your prejudice against conservatives. They are hogwash, and I think you know that.

Well, yes. I suppose you could say that. However, the difference is that in one case it is voluntary and in the other compelled by the government. Big difference. English as the official language is simply recognition that we have to communicate to prosper. It makes sense, and in no way denigrates people who speak another language as well. To do otherwise condemns those who can least afford it to a life of subservient existence. We don't have that many segregated schools any more, save those that are created by minority enclaves at their own insistence.
