If this image doesn't piss-off everyone here, then nothing
else will (except possibly seeing a Yenko in the crusher).
Did we all miss something about the last several hundred
years of history of this nation?
Two of my wifes brothers live overseas ( after military
service ). One in Germany, and the other in Japan. In
both cases, they could not get citizenship, or gainful
employment in these countries without actively learning the
respective languages of their adopted countries. There you
have it in a nutshell - fellows! As a fellow member here
added, if they want to live here, they must learn "our"
language, not the other way around.
Years ago, I worked as a Manufacturing Engineer for a US
company in the New York area. They employed a large
Portugese workforce spanning multiple genereations. We had
such problems communicating with the workforce that the
management wanted us to learn the Portugese language so we
could "effectively" communicate with them. In a meeting,
it was suggested that we attend language classes ( after
hours ) to facilitate this. In a question and answer
session, I stood up and asked why we were being required
to learn a "foreign" language when multiple generations of
our workforce could only speak broken English at best. I
refused to participate and walked out of the meeting. So
ended my upward mobility in that company.
Yes, the useless politicians have dealt us all a major
problem.
They want to continue to get re-elected
and that keeps them pandering to the Latino vote. I'm not
bashing anyone from South America here!
The major problem here is that Political Service is now a
big money making deal. How often do you see or hear of a
politician of modest means? Not often! More
When this country started, leaders like Washington, Jefferson,
Franklin, etc. were asked to hold office in service to
their country. They did it out of reverence for their
country (
), not to make $$$$$$$.
We need to derail this train now.
