TomH said Absolutely!  years ago there was this women in NYC who was teaching young blacks how to speak correct English, a requirement, she said, for reaching higher levels of employment.  Hispanics obviously are even worse off than native born blacks.”

Wow, we agree on something TomH. Next thing you know, we will be meeting for a microbrew. -:)

Funnier things have happened but I can’t drink alcohol.  Had a fella over just last week that I used to have battle royals on two different forums, not tame stuff like this, fights to the death.

Arizona is an ENGLISH speaking state, as are the other 49 United States. Arizona has a fair sized population of Hispanics, many of whom are here illegally and do not speak English, or only speak it sparingly. Him not speaking Spanish does not reflex poorly on him at all. It reflects poorly on the Hispanics who have illegally entered our country and expect us to learn their language.

Steve, as far as your challenge for me to prove Obama does not speak Spanish...HUH? When someone makes a statement and is challenged, as I did your statement that Obama does in fact speak Spanish, it is up to the one who made the original claim to prove what they said is true. I doubt it is true. If you can prove me wrong, please do.

It’s your assertion. Prove Obama DOESN’T speak Spanish. Show me the article where it says this. We already know that he speaks at least one foreign language, by the way.

McCain represents one of the biggest Spanish-speaking states in the Union. Prove he’s relevant enough to speak it even passably, to show he’s even remotely in touch with Arizona’s culture. If he doesn’t, he should be embarrassed to represent that state.

No, it is Obama’s admission that he, in his own words stated, “I don’t speak a foreign language. It’s embarrassing!”. This was after his admonishments to the American people for not being bilingual. We can certainly count on him being bi-hypocritical, capable of speaking hypocrisies out both sides of the mouth at the same time. This is what we had better come to expect in the new Obammunist Nation.

Well TomH, stranger things have happened, as you say. I would say there is no fighting here, just disagreement. Which is always fun. Say, what kind of dog is that in your avatar? -:)

Microbrew is a yankee thing. Southerners drink shine or bud.

We are all hypocrites to some degree, some more than others. My point was to answer Steve’s uniformed challenge.

Tell that to the local micro brewers, Jack of the Wood, Asheville Pizza and Brewery, French Broad Brewery and Highland to name all that come to mind.  ‘Spose they are all owned and operated by yankees, huh?

William has already said that he goes to bed at 10 pm every night, and hardly drinks because drinking is a liberal yankee activity.

Fair enough. How’s this?

LOL, Mr e posnideus, you have made this up of whole cloth, haven’t you? Say, do you have a life outside of your bridge “condo? -:) Get some fresh air mi amigo. The exhaust fumes under you bridge are addling your brain. Michael Savage, a rabid rightwinger who makes me cringe, has said that “liberalism is a mental disease.” As weird as he can be, he is right about liberalism. I mean, look at yourself? -:)

Considering he has admitted he does not speak a foreign language, you have just demonstrated his teleprompter skills. Take that away and it would have been ... “um ... um ... er .... well .... change .... um ... er .. er ....” Now just how hypocritical is he going to look when the illegal Democrat voter (the ones who attain driver licenses in states like NC and register to vote at the same time) realizes he was faking it.

I do believe I remember hearing that a real ID process is coming about here in NC to put an end to these illegally gotten driver licenses. The sooner the better.

I think everyone should learn Spanish. And I think the Mountain Xpress should be printed in Spanish to make us all learn it. -:)
