    Oh noes, Obama wants to make our children learn a skill that can increase their earning potential!!!

    Look, I thought learning a foreign language was already mandatory if you wanted to get out of high school.

    Man, I knew they would tie granny knots in their pants about stupid shit and but the stupidity of the shit and the size of the knots never ceases to amaze.

    And thus a new theoretical math was born: The Study and Quantification of Infinite Stupid

    As has been noted, it appears to have detrimental effects on the casual observer too. Thankfully DA’s post is not nearly incoherent enough to prove unrecoverability. All that’s needed is a couple weeks rest and something to raise the IQ back up. Watching the Wiggles or Dora the Explorer (MULTI-LINGUIST!!!!) should do it.

    The fact is, McCain puts COUNTRY FIRST. Obama does not, he is half foreigner and is campaigning in other countries. This is stupid of him: they do not get to vote for him, and the Heartland will resent this, and they should. It’s disgraceful. Its as bad as taking foreign money in campaigns, and insulting to the heartlanders who now have even more reasons to know what a phoney he is. McCain has my vote and I hope he picks Cheney as his VP.

    I have a kid about to enter high school in a couple weeks. If he wants into college,even a crappy little no name place,he needs at least a couple of credits in a foreign language of some kind. He also has to have at least one credit to graduate.

    And we live in GA,which consistantly ranks in the mid-high 40’s in rating the 50 states’ school systems. I had to have two years of a language to graduate 30 yrs ago. This isn’t freaking new and they fucking know it.

    This is the same fucking shit they’re trying to pull by making civic participation look fascist. It’s somehow unAmerican to vote,be active in your community,volunteer to help others,etc,etc.

    I really hate these assholes.

    Kinda OT.
    Not just wingers. Consider Michael Scherer. Washington correspondant for TIME is still pushing the liberal media bias story - as in biased against JiSM3. This Michael Scherer.

    His claims:
    1. Coverage - Obama gets more than McCain. Nevermind that the McCain campaign has basically been on vacation since early spring. Nevermind that on the day after Obama spoke before two hundred thousand people, we know what McCain had for lunch. His stat is for “since June”. WHat has Johnny boy done since June, other than whine and complain? Yes Michael, McCain’s “Biography Tour” is not as big a story as Obama in Iraq.

    AND

    2. The race is close!!! If only we could hook up a generator to Michael Scherer, his spin could generate power enough for millions of homes. How close is the race? McCain hasn’t been tied with Obama in a major poll for over two months. But despite this lead, despite the fact that most forecasters are just arguing about how big a blow-out it’s going to be, here’s what you say about it:

    The American people have not (yet) been sold on this guy

    Well, sure. Thanks to all you JiSM3 addicts with your scary black elitist islamoatheist terrorist sympathizer nonsense. But by that standard (i.e. understating support for a candidate by at least 6%) McCain’s clearly been rejected by America.

    Which goes back to the whole coverage thing - something Scherer’s commenters nailed right away. Hey Scherer, why don’t you do the same media time coverage analysis for the week the Rev. Wright video came out? The sum total of attacks directed at McCain for things other than his or his campaigns own mistakes is “Johnny is old”. Well, Johnny is old, but Barack is not muslim, nor a Hamas supporter, nor a Weatherman, nor a Black Panther. I’m stopping there, because if I have to dig up BS about how “Obama is elitist but Sindey the third isn’t” again, my head’s gonna explode.

    Most schools expect you to learn how to count to ten and pick a new name for yourself in either Spanish or French. Too much more than that is looked upon with suspicion. Even the teachers are generally not fluent in a second language.

    In my upper East Tennessee public school system we took French, mandatory, every year, from SECOND GRADE through junior high (what you youngsters now know as “middle school”). In high school you could take French, Spanish, or German, but again at least one year was required. My BA at the state university required two years foreign language. Now the language requirement has been dropped altogether for undergrad majors in Liberal Arts (excuse me: “Arts and Sciences”). Dumber and Dumberest R Us.

    Yeah, the foreign language requirements at my highschool were pretty sorry… but all the same, those of us who were big enough geeks to WANT to learn spanish or german got a pretty good start on it. (there was also french, but the french teacher was just an embarassment, a walking argument for why it should be much much easier to fire teachers.) I still have painful memories of some redneck raising his hand in the back of the class and saying in the most labored way with a thick drawl: “Yo… quiaro… ear… owl… bayno”

    I was kayaking with a friend a few weeks ago when we encountered a large multigenerational El Salvadorian family stranded in a raft, everyone screaming and paddling in a different direction.

    Both of us speak broken Spanish, he from high school, I from gay bars in Colombia and Mexico. As we pulled up beside them he started shouting and waving with enthusiasm. I’m sure that he meant to say venga (come on) one of HIS fifty-odd words, but instead he said “Verga! Verga” one of MY fifty-odd words which means - well, I guess the important thing is that nobody drowned.

    I love the McCain campaign’s “Country first” banner. They can’t say “America first” because that would evoke directly the America First Committee, and they can’t say “Homeland first” because that would convey too obviously the message. So instead they have to go with the watered-down, uninspired, and vague term of country.

    Obama’s call for Americans to accept unbridled Latino immigration and just learn Spanish already wasn’t lost on the vast majority of the population. You liberals keep picking on this because you know it’s a weakness for you.

In fact, I had a vision of the numbers corresponding with the letters T-H-E-D-I-A-M-O-N-D. They’re suspended like a prism splitting floodlight to poles of primary colours clawing the veil of the vacuum. There’s a picture of this given to authorities, the sentence,”I’m an architect and here’s my prison” written on it. With schematics so meticulous the measurements of superimpositions of a room within the window make a dream that ends up being such an entity in your reflection, you are the dream to it, you are the prism. The mirrors in the corner throwing images against the other mirrors made counting corners impossible the breaking news had counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven corners of the mirrored corners. Why have you done what you have done something is so sinister when staring at the diamond something you have done sinister why have you done this am I in the mirror am I what you have been staring at am I a diamond?

    Oh sure, Clown, let’s pretend you don’t know.

    Here it is again, liberals:

    Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English, you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish

    He hedges in the next sentence, acting like it’s about being able to speak French in France, but the context is clear. He sets up his talk by saying, don’t worry about immigrants learning English, they will, but you and your children should learn Spanish.

    Gee, inspector, what do you think he is referring to? The tens of millions of Spanish-speaking illegals in this country? No, bleat liberals, he means you should be able to speak Norwegian when you visit Oslo.

    This is what is meant when people say liberals are pathetic and that they have no intellectual integrity or courage.

    My favorite use of the term country has to be when Carla Thomas says, “Otis, you’re country.” Somehow, I don’t think that’s what the McCain marketing team has in mind.

    This is what is meant when people say liberals are pathetic and that they have no intellectual integrity or courage.

    Why are Republicans so wacky with the brown-people hate? Do they really think that’s a winning issue?

    And until the last decade or so, they were right - it’s just that the bright light of day has made the racist horseshit that once dominated local politics, especially in the South, wither and die. (That and the evangelicals inadvertently poisoned the well by distancing themselves from conventional racist right-wing politics - they were Republicans and the racists were Democrats, and now things have changed - sort of.)

    I keep hearing Repubs howling about how I should hate all Hispanics. They never really explain why I should hate my neighbors…

    Jesus? What a jewy homo. Now Friedrich Nietzsche, there’s a Republican savior; if only we could all be like him there’d be none of this whining about big corporations stealing your children’s school money and we’d all be able to accept it like men, shrieking about our self-evident superhumanity while sliding into an abyss of syphilitic insanity.

    Did you know that “La Raza” is Spanish for “The Race”? That’s proof, PROOF! dammit, that Hispanics are the REAL racists, trying to replace all of our rich racial diversity with their own strange mix of skin tones! Most of them aren’t even black or white, they are some weird in-between tone, as though Europeans and Africans and Americans had intermarried for centuries, creating a broad spectrum of features. How are white people supposed to defend themselves against racism if there are so many different kinds of non-white people?

    I concur. With awesome power like this on their side, we truly are finished. Might as well just give up now.

    And his statement about how we’re all going to feel when Obama is defeated is … well, brrrrrrr. I’m throwing in the towel now. I mean, I haven’t quaked like that since Karl Rove said he’d seen the numbers before the 2006 election and … oh, wait.

    Ah, English - the drunken slut of languages. Even advocating “English Only” is a meta-joke by now, it’s got so many damn loan-words from other tongues. Unless you just want to use Anglo-Saxon, in which case noone will understand a thing you say: it’s even deader than Latin, other than the obvious ones, like good old “FUCK” … IMHO, it’s not that there isn’t enough porno, it’s that it’s poorly distributed - if we can just get more of it into the sweaty hands of these yabbos, they’ll be too busy enjoying their own company (since damn few of the REST of us do) to have the time, energy or inclination to yank everyone else’s chains.

    Speaking of which -

    This is what is meant when people say liberals are pathetic and that they have no intellectual integrity or courage.

    Like the absence of courage necessary to be too much of a xenphobic gleet-stain to acknowledge that Spanish is actually one of America’s two official languages? Or intellectually dishonest like the mental midgetry of trying to spin a positive (becoming multilingual) into a negative? Or pathetic like trying to quote-mine a candidate’s wife - & failing like a motherfucker - because everyone already knows you’ve got sweet fuck-all to smear her husband with - & deep down in your heart of hearts you know that next to his opponent, your guy is a total zero, yet another silver-spoon incompetent like the last one - a craven power-whore who never met a scruple he couldn’t toss aside for cheap brownie-points, despised even by some of those who “support” him?

    So having been corrected on one strawman, you liberals predictably turn on another, that somehow the conservative opposition to illegal immigration has to do with race rather than the fact that it is, you know, illegal. The internal contradiction within that, as pointed out by Joe Max’s observation that Bush made stump speeches in Spanish, somehow led Joe Max to consider that a problem in the conservative argument. At this point I have to feel sorry for you liberals - you just aren’t that bright, are you?

    Upthread, Gary Ruppert’s dog said that liberals value talent, intelligencem and ability. I’d love to segue into a Michelle Obama comment from that but it would be too far off topic. When one of you dares to write about her I’ll revisit the subject. I find it absolutely delightful - I love that woman!

    OK, one off topic comment: you liberals have got to stop linking to these ridiculous fake websites. I mean, they are jokes, right? How many neck bearded thirty year olds with extensive comic book collections can there be?

    For 12 years the GOP controlled the House and Senate. For 8 of those they also held the Presidency. They could’ve passed extremely harsh fines and jail time laws for businesses that hired illegals. They did not. They never do. I wonder why? Same reason they never do anything real about abortion. When people get wise to your divisiveness, they vote Democratic. NONE of the numbers are in your favor for the future. Suck. On. That. Truthy.

    The Truth is that the Big Business GOP has to be in a coalition with the Nativist and the Racist. You have to get the votes of those ignorati because there aren’t enough Globalist millionaires to ensure continued GOP Power. Which are you, Truthy? Your GOP pals in DC actually want illegals here to keep wages down, profits up, and citizens fearful, with nary a complaint from you. Your racist pals in the Heartland want someone to blame for their failure to compete. A match made in heaven.

    We’ll talk about Michelle when you criticize Cindy for her Theft. Perjury. Drug use. College Racism. Elitism (”you jest cain’t get ’round ‘zona ‘cept in a Private Plane…”). Etc. All you have is spin about Michelle. Head to head with the Cheerleader who popped out of her momma into a 12 story pile of cash, yeah, The Heartland really identifies with her over Michelle.

    The next time you say this - especially when you stammer out that ‘40 million’ statistic - you might want to make at least a casual effort to distinguish legal immigration from illegal immigration. 40 million is the legal figure - nativists like to conflate it with the figure for illegal immigration.
