We no speak English

Have you ever wondered why English is not the official language in America? After 200 plus years of English being the predominantly spoken language what else would the native tongue be? And the last time I read the U.S. Constitution it was written in English.
For gosh sakes! ...me no speak Spanish either so we're even!
The more I read about some of the goings on in Washington the more I am convinced the time for straitjackets for many has come and gone.
Did you know in 1998 the Republicans voted 238-182 to oppose making English the official language, because many were courting the possibility of making Puerto Rico a statehood? The Washington Times reported in 1998 that the majority of the House supported the statehood proposal, and at the same time fell short one vote of an amendment that would support English as top language in the good ole' USA. Don't ever underestimate the wild hairs of Republicans those hairs will stick up, when you least expect them to appear.
Now I know many people have and will sell out their souls for money . . . but trying to sell the country out for votes is a bit extreme wouldn't you agree?
We all know that Puerto Rico and Mexico are both dirt poor countries and it looks like America is in line to become poor too, if we continue down this destructive pathway of giving all of our resources and money away. Just who is going to benefit most with politicians wooing Puerto Rican voters?
While many wayward politicians are concentrating on giving favors to Hispanic voters for election support, they are forgetting their base supporters. I am still trying to figure out what these misguided folks are eating in their Wheaties every morning!
Apparently, the Puerto Ricans are balking becoming the 51st state, because their language and culture is nonnegotiable. Well, Americans can't say the same, because they are on the bottom of the "totem" pole when it comes to Members of Congress supporting their traditions, American culture, etc., in favor of courting foreigners. But refusing to support English as the official language is the pits!
And if this isn't enough anti-American jargon if you recognize God and country publicly you're offending other cultures.
I find it hard to believe that 55 percent of the American people polled favor a Puerto Rican statehood making the official languages English and Spanish. This is just another preplanned "bogus" poll to give the appearance Americans favor welcoming Puerto Rico as the 51st state.
The vast majority of Puerto Ricans are adamant when it comes to being anything other than antagonistic toward Americans. They assert up front they not only prefer their native language they are not the slightest bit interested in learning English. So, why should we take on another country's headaches? Besides, two-thirds of the Puerto Ricans are living in poverty. And until we can take care of our own people living in poverty, and have affordable healthcare for our senior citizens, our government has no right to squander away the money needed here in America. And I have come to the conclusion we need accountants in Washington D.C. not lawyers. How far do you think housewives or big companies would get balancing their checkbooks if they operated in the red to the tune of trillions of dollars annually? Probably about as far as the closest federal prison.
I think sometimes we would be better off if we didn't understand English, because the words to describe how our government has let us down politically, morally, and financially cut to the core and fiber of our souls.
Americans should not have to fight for their inalienable rights over and over again, considering these rights are written in stone. Every step that you take you are walking on the "invisible" blood shed by a soldier who suppressed their fear in order that you, your children, and your grandchildren . . . could pursue the right to life, liberty, and happiness.
In the meantime we're heading to a modern day "Tower of Babel."
And that's just my opinion!

This nation of ours will fall like the Great Empire of Rome, and I just can't wait for that day!
