Newt- English Language

The Right Stuff

I'm pretty sure I'm right when I say that the only politician in America, over the past thirty years, to consistently identify real problems, and offer starting point solutions for them, is Newt Gingrich.  From air traffic control equipment that still uses vacuum tubes, to latch key children who throw other little kids off the roofs of tenement buildings, he's been right on.  This of course terrifies congressional democrats, and send them to Plan A in their own play  book - Character Assassination.  Yesterday Newt did it again by calling for Congress to make English the official language. American civilization eventually will collapse if government doesn't do a better job assimilating immigrants into society, possible GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Wednesday as he urged Congress to enshrine English as the nation's official language. The former House speaker said political correctness and multiculturalism are clouding the debate about language. "If you are pro-immigration to America, you should be pro-assimilation into English as the common language because in fact your children and grandchildren will have a dramatically better future if they are part of the common commercial civilization," Gingrich said. - [Gingrich pushes for English as official language] Houston Chron. I'm going to guess that any national poll on this question would yield a 90% agreement rate.  I'm not exactly sure what Newt sees as detail to such a measure, but I see it meaning no public monies may be spent on any non-English language printed matter, with a few exceptions like "Tacos" on school menus. No ballots printed in Spanish, no "Recepción a los Estados Unidos."  If American manufacturers still want to annoy us by including multi language instructions for coffee makers, have at it.  Oh, the official slogan of this country is USA-UAS-USA!
