I agree with you about the HRC-Obama slogan.

What can we do to counter that?  This:

1.  Make English the official Language, because 85% of the Americans support this and HRC-Obama clan opposes.

2.  Absolute Border Security, socialists want open borders

3.  Small Government => Eliminate the IRS => Eliminate Income Taxes => Replace it with a flat tax (which 80% of Americans favors) or a consumption tax =>  We need a simple tax law not a complicated law saturated with loopholes that stimulates tax avoidance.  => The socialists want to increase taxes, add more loopholes for the rich, to fatten the government and will oppose to a flat tax.

4.  89% of Americans want to have a secret ballot for union representatives before the state of the union, HRC opposes.

5.  Hydrogen Economy => Energy Independence =>   we have great American Solutions on this area, socialist have NOTHING.

6.  We need to Rediscover God in America, the core values of our forefathers, we need to put back "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance, we need to Reform our Education System to teach the core values of America, US History (as Thomas Jefferson wrote that the chief value of studying the past is "rendering the people the safe, as they are the ultimate, guardians of their own liberty". History by apprising them of the past will enable them to be a judge of the future."), the notion of one People (instead of the globalism & multiculturalism of the liberals).  What socialists offer?  More Folsom St parades, no God, rights for the deviants and freaks, more concessions to the Islamists, Habeas Corpus for the terrorists, GLTB's educating our children.

7.  And I am just going to pause here to give YOU my fellow American the opportunity to point out more issues where we have solutions proven to work and the socialist have ideas proven to fail.

The Bottom Line is that the way to defeat our enemy is NOT by talking crap about our own and beating each other up; not even talking crap about our enemies, BUT INSTEAD talking about solutions the vast majority of Americans agree to that are in contraposition with the socialists platform.

This is my answer to Josue from Annandale, VA on his article: “Why do students need to learn Spanish? “

Why Frenchmen learn Spanish, German and English?  Why Europeans are fluent in more than two languages?

Why are we treated so rude when we go to other countries and do not even try to learn a few words of the host country spoken language?

Why that incident occurred in that Parochial Catholic Church School?

The most logical answer is to become better communicators that would definitively lead us to get in closer contact with people we often fear or prejudge.

A long time ago, Father Tadeusz Mich, PhD in Anthropology,  a Polish from Poland, a Diocesan Catholic Priest of the Diocese of Arlington, VA and a professor of Anthropology at the Catholic University in Washington, DC told us a couple of jokes.  Here is one of his célèbre jokes.  He started asking us, how would you call a person that knows two languages?  One answered, a “double language speaker”.  Father Tadeusz told him, no my dear son, it is something simpler than that.  Another said I know Father is called a bilingual.  Exactly! Said Father Tadeusz.  Then asked us another question, how would you call a person that knows three languages?  I know, Father! The same one answered correctly.  It is called a Trilingual. Very good! Said Father Tadeusz and how would you call a person that knows four languages? Another one present guessing the answer prompted to say, Father is called a quarter-lingual.  OK! said Father Tadeusz, then how would you call a person that knows five languages?  Another one that got the idea said, Father, is a penta-lingual.  Father Tadeusz said that’s fine, it is etymologically correct, but there is a better word, can anyone guess?  Everybody remained silent.  After a few seconds, Father Tadeusz said, a person that knows five or more languages is a poly-phasia-tic (Políglota, in Spanish) or a multi-lingual (polyglot).  Those were though questions, said Father Tadeusz; smiling he continue saying, how you would call a person that only knows one language.  I know Father! (Was the same one that got it wrong the first time).  It is called a uni-lingual. Father said, nope! A one-lingual, Father?  (Same one continued guessing) Father said, nope! A single-lingual, Father?  Father said, maybe, but it sounds weird.  Well Father, how is it called?  For the astonishment of everybody present, Father Tadeusz said, a person that knows only one language is called an American.

Father Tadeusz gave Mass in Fort Belvoir, VA and in Fort Mead, MD is Spanish, in Silver Spring, MD gave two masses one in Russian and one in Polish.  He taught Anthropology undergraduate courses in English at the Cath. Univ. of Wash. DC.  He learned over eight different Amazons Indigenous languages while doing his Master Degree research.  He spent eight years between the countries of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil.  He travelled throughout the piranha infected Amazon tributaries.  Many times had no other recourse but to accept riding in a boat with narco-Traficants or guerillas just to be able to move from one place to another in his missionary peregrination spreading the Gospel while at the same time doing Anthropological Research. They would never hurt Padre Tadeo, everybody knew about him, it was an honor and a blessing to give a ride to El Padre.  Some of those Indigenous tribes lived two or three days walking distance apart and there were absolutely no similitude between the languages and the knowledge of other tribes were either vague or not existent, meaning those tribes did not know each other nor had minimum contact. Father Tadeusz was a student of Pope John Paul II while he was getting prepared to become a priest, an Apostle of Jesus Christ.  Father Tadeusz is a multi-lingual, wise and certainly a holy person; he is a human being that knows how to reach other’s hearts because he knows how to communicate in many languages specially the language of Love he irradiates without speaking because it is Divinely Inspired.

Josue, since you live relatively close to Father Tadeusz Mich, please send him my kindly regards and a copy of this article.  I’ve been looking recently in the Internet for him and found the following:

In any event, I hope I answered your question.

Ms. Ann Coulter,

I quoted you in red as show below.

“Arellano has already snuck into the country illegally twice (that we know of). After being deported in 1999 -- under an administration that, astonishingly, was more serious about enforcing immigration law than the current one -- she illegally ran across the border again a few days later.”

She was first deported on August 1997.  She sneaked back in on or about August 30, 1997.

“Despite living in this country illegally for a decade, Arellano hasn't mastered the most rudimentary English. She doesn't want to assimilate and become a "Mexican-American." She wants to be a Mexican-Mexican living in and off America.”

If that was 100% true, so what?  Is mastering a language per unit of time a measure of the wants to assimilate? How are you able to conclude she wants to live off America?

“So far, the only thing Arellano has contributed to America is one illegitimate child.”

Why you say her son is an illegitimate child?  Is this statement a moral opinion of yours?

Let set the record straight from what I've collected since Nov. 2006.

Elvira Arellano, 32 years old women from Michoacán, Mexico, is certainly an amazing human being.

On August 1997, Elvira entered illegally to the US, was arrested, deported by the US Government, and few days later (on or around August 30, 1997) she illegally re-entered to the US and settles somewhere in Oregon for 3 years.

In 1998, she gave birth to Saul Arellano; her son is by birthplace a US Citizen.  Currently, we do not know much what she did for a living during her 3 years in Oregon, or about Saul’s father.  According to some sources, Saul was born on December 18, 1998 in Toppenish, Washington.  Saul’s unknown father abandoned his mother when she was 3 months pregnant with him.

In 2000, Elvira moved to Chicago, Illinois and made her living as an airplane cabin cleaner at the O’Hare’s International Airport.  She used the social security number belonging to an old woman to get this job.

In 2002, a post 9/11 personnel screening at the airport yield with her arrest, convicted for using a social security number belonging to an 82 years old woman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin in order to obtain her employment, and sentenced to 3 years probation.  Illinois State Laws allowed Elvira to reside legally in the State.  The US Government has allowed her to remain on US soil for short time periods.  The US Government has extended these periods a couple of times upon request of Congress legislators and civil leaders in their hope on pending private legislation pardoning and legalizing her residential status.

On August 15, 2006, Elvira failed to appear before immigration authorities and seek refuge at the Adalberto United Methodist church located at 2716 West Division, Humboldt Park area of Chicago to avoid arrest and deportation.

On November 14, 2006, Elvira’s son, Saul Arellano went to Mexico City to appear before the Congreso de la Unión de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, that is, the Mexican Congress.  The Mexican lawmakers issued a resolution urging our US Government to halt deportation of Elvira and other Mexican nationals who are parents of US Citizens children.

On May 3, 2007, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) introduced H.R. 2182, which would grant legal immigrant status, with the possibility of applying for permanent residence status, to Arellano as well as to thirty-three other people. Congress referred the bill to the House Committee on the Judiciary and presently has not moved out of committee level.
