How our American Culture and Language are Being Subverted
Why is it when "[t]he whole world is moving to the adoption of English as the global language of politics, commerce, and travel. . . [are] we allowing [American] bureaucrats [or presidents] to undermine English usage in the United States. Learning English is the first step in achieving the American Dream. It paves the way for success academically, professionally, and socially."(1)
English is the international language used for air flight and internet communications, commerce, travel and the world's major political events. Why allow such world-wide English language domination to be eroded by the contamination, competition or confusion of ANY other language? No sane, rational, English speaking person would ever want to erode such favorable world wide momentum accruing many benefits to America . . . EXCEPT . . .
Bill Clinton . . . who issued the INSANE Executive Order (E.O.) 13166 in last days of his administration. It "forces every recipient of federal funds to provide interpreters and translations for people who don’t speak English, or face prosecution for civil rights violations. The order would apply to almost every federal state and local government agency in the country as well as non-governmental institutions and contractors receiving federal assistance and medical service providers receiving Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement."(2)
E.O. 13166 States: "Friends and relatives are NOT permitted to help translate. Professionals must be hired, and the service must be provided for free for anyone who asks. Hospitals and universities are already facing harassment by federal agencies."(1) According to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) "The current cost is up to $46.7 BILLION" states U.S. English. This is the TRUE legacy of Bill Clinton. It is insanity personified!
ProEnglish Chairman Bob Park decided to sue over the E.O. 13166 when the Bush Administration refused to rescind the order. Park said: "We are taking this action to defend the right of physicians, state and local government agencies, and numerous other recipients of federal funds, to speak English if they choose to do so, without the threat of prosecution for violating someone’s civil rights ."(2)
"We believe that President Bush’s political advisors made a serious mistake by persuading him not to revoke this utterly divisive and destructive policy that was left to him by the previous administration." Park added, "If necessary, we are prepared to fight this case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court."(2)
"The ProEnglish complaint [begun in 2002] cites four main grounds for overturning E.O. 13166:
"The suit asks the court for an injunction to bar all enforcement of E.O. 13166, and to declare it void and unconstitutional."(2) In the fall of 2005 the hearing on appeal was still months away.
"ProEnglish’s outside counsel Barnaby Zall pointed out that E.O. 13166 was based on a deeply flawed interpretation of the 1964 civil rights law that attempts to equate a person’s language with their "national origin" for determining illegal discrimination . That interpretation flies in the face of 20 years of previous court decisions asserting that there was no such equation. Zall commented, "This case asks whether speaking English is illegal -- In other words, if you speak English to someone who doesn’t, have you violated their civil rights?"(2)
The answer to that question is YES according to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission! For example, read on . . .
1. Did you know that posting a sign "For Service - Speak English" was ILLEGAL?
Not only that, for posting such a sign in Ohio, your business can be condemned as having "engaged in discriminatory practices" and you can be "ordered to remove the sign [and] to pay for advertisements about nondiscrimination, and [your] staff can be ordered to undergo diversity training or cultural sensitivity training."(3)
"The Ohio Civil Rights Commission spends an amazing $10.7 million a year in state and federal taxes. About $9 million goes to salaries, including fees wasted on lawyers to prosecute Mason bar owner Tom Ullum for his politically incorrect sign, 'For Service, Speak English'."(4)
Don't you wonder how speaking a language comports to discrimination laws which cover: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age or ancestry. Is English a color, is it a race, or a religion, or a sex, etc. Of course not!(5)
Methinks that the Ohio Civil Rights Commission has become the Ohio Civil Wrongs Commission. How wacky can you get? Power in the hands of idiots begets idiotic decisions that have a chilling effect on ALL Americans. Wake up America . . . Speak UP and Speak OUT! Especially in English!
ProEnglish defends pub owner's sign. Pub owner Tom Ullum's defenders are charging "that the Commission's action was a thinly disguised attack on Ullum's freedom of speech . . . [noting] that the local organization filing the complaint against Ullum, Housing Opportunities Made Equal, simply objected to the content of the sign's message and did not claim to represent anybody that actually had been refused service."(6)
"Once again, multicultural government bureaucrats are seeking to twist the plain meaning of 'national origin" to equate it with the language someone chooses to speak in order to concoct a deliberately trumped up violation of civil rights law."(7) That's telling it like it is. It's about time the 'little guy' gets help in stopping the insanities of run-amuck 'diversity' and 'cultural sensitivity' zealots.
"The members and staff of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission need a remedial course on the American Constitution and the first Amendment. Even though the Commission pretends to champion 'diversity,' it's clear by their actions they want to be multicultural thought police and prosecute anyone who thinks differently than they do."(7) Excellent analysis and straight-forward common sense. Refreshing isn't it?
2. EEOC is the Federal Government's Enforcement Arm:
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) went after a Rochester, New York roofing business who, for safety reasons, required English only on the job site. ProEnglish executive director K.C. McAlpin believes that because the EEOC recently lost a similar workplace English requirement case to Sephora cosmetics, the EEOC is now retaliating. McAlpin said that: "Apparently the bilingual bullies in the EEOC's New York office, stung by their loss in the Sephora case, decided to target a much smaller company in the hope it wouldn't fight back. When is Congress going to put an end to this agency's abuse of power in pursuit of its anti-English agenda?"(8)
"Sephora's victory over the EEOC illustrates two truths. When an employer refuses to settle the charges and fights the EEOC in court, the EEOC loses. The other is media bias. When the EEOC first filed its suit against Sephora saying that its English policy was discriminatory, it made headlines across the country. But the decision upholding Siphora's right to have such a policy received very little news coverage."(9)
3. How the Pro-bilingual supporters and enablers arrogantly 'bloviate' and obfuscate as they push for their racist bilingualism
An excellent example occurred when a Puerto Rican Policy Institute spokesperson loudly over-talked the other participant who was opposing bilingualism on Lou Dobbs. One might even make the case that Angelo Falcon denied his opponent his civil rights to 'freedom of speech.' What you will hear during this video will be 'tried and true' Hispanic and Latino rhetoric, propaganda, and mantras that are deliberately obfuscating, duplicitous, hypocritical and dishonest and most of all -- loud, overbearing and disrespectful of others.(10)
4. Speak English -- Why Bother?
While there are at least 27 states that have legislated 'Official English' -- the federal government has NOT.(11) There are 12 million households in the United States that are what the Census Bureau calls "linguistically isolated." Many of those households don't bother to learn English because they can bank, vote, shop, work, go to church, get a GED, a driver's license, purchase real estate, get a mortgage, without EVER speaking a word of English!
Adding to their 'linguistic isolation' is the fact that our government requires hospitals to supply translators adding to the cost of your healthcare.(12) According to a report on Lou Dobbs of CNN, many new arrivals are stunned how they can live here in the US without ever speaking English. The video of the Dobbs' comments can be found here: (13)
5. Many Live their Whole Life in the US Without Speaking ENGLISH!
Did you know that nearly 80% of Americans want English as our 'official' language. Who are the biggest laggards in learning our unifying English language. The Mexicans, of course, for reasons already discussed. Only 50% of the Mexicans speak English while 69% of the Chinese do, and 78% of the Russian speakers do. Why is that? Well as Ms. Garcia explains in a Lou Dobbs video -- speaking English would DILUTE the Hispanic culture! And just what does Ms. Garcia think those massive millions of Spanish speaking Hispanics are doing to America's culture? You've got it -- DILUTING America's culture AND to use Vicente Fox's word, massively eroding the important agglutinative element of our unifying English language.(14)
Do you understand the mindset of an Hispanic, who can so audaciously make such a statement without any concern or regard for the damage her position would inflict upon our society? Are you stunned that she and millions of Hispanics just like her, can arrogantly make such beliefs known while apparently having 'no clue' that making such an offensive statement is an insult to "We the People?" Are Hispanics so insensitive to their host country that they have no qualms espousing such a position, a blatant attack on the English speaking unity of America?
The truth of the matter is -- THEY DON'T CARE, all they desire is to stick to their agenda to remain separate from "We the People" by not assimilating and acculturating into our American culture and society unlike ALL previous immigrants have done. Blending into the 'melting pot' is what has made America great.
The reason many Hispanics have that attitude is because there are so many of them here illegally that they feel they can be as brazen as they please, and then when we object they call us "racist." What hypocrites they are. To see and hear Ms. Garcia and her arrogant racist position go here: (14)
6. "Bowing Before the Altar of Diversity . . .
Until recently, immigrants to our shores were eager to become full-fledged Americans. And our public schools that taught only English did a splendid job of assimilating them. This diversity within freedom, buttressed by talent, hard work, and opportunity has made America the envy of the world."(15)
"But today, some immigrants, notably self-appointed Hispanic activists, tend to resist assimilation. They champion bilingual education, bilingual ballots, and a bilingual lifestyle, all of which will make them less able to enrich American society . . . These bizarre concession to diversity would have dismayed earlier immigrants who took pride in learning the language and asked only for a fair chance to achieve in their adopted country."(15)
Instead, today we are bending over backwards to accommodate non-English speakers. What is particularly egregious is the FACT that an overwhelming number of the non-English speakers have illegally invaded our country.
What perverse mentality decided that no matter where you came from in the world, if you illegally enter and continue to illegally reside here in the United States in direct contravention of our immigration laws, we then insanely REWARD the children of those criminals with a free education? To understand how twisted and perverted such accommodations have become, read on . . .
