Regarding the Atlanta Journal Constitution Editorial page editor’s, (Cynthia Tucker) little gem on language and “anti-intellectualism” from Sunday (for the ever increasing multitudes who have long since stopped reading the AJC – you can read it here, courtesy of the local open borders ethnic hustlers):

One can only continue to hope that – like the proverbial blind hog – Ms. Tucker will eventually stumble upon an acorn of reason and honesty regarding the threats to American sovereignty, culture, rule of law and common language presented by the organized crime of illegal immigration and far – too – high levels of legal immigration.

Her focus on Barack Obama’s call for Americans to learn Spanish in her latest transparent attempt to marginalize those Americans who demand sustainable immigration numbers, defined, defended borders and an official language as proponents of “anti-intellectualism” is comically typical for the mindless “hipper – than – thou” open borders crowd.

As someone who has traveled Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean extensively, this long- time American, like most of us, fully understands and enjoys the benefits of the ability to speak languages other than my native English.

But that is not the issue at hand and Tucker knows it.

In the good old USA, it’s not about “English only” – its about English first, English as official and about speaking English being the one commonality that can – and should – bind our most diverse nation together.

Ignore for a moment that millions of its citizens risk life and limb to escape the third world environment they then attempt to recreate here – we can take a tip from that paradise to our south, Mexico.

Quite logically and shamelessly, that sovereign nation has an official language.

The United States of America does not. We should. And it should be English.

With the willing assistance of the anything- for- a buck business lobby and the leftists in the media, massive, uncontrolled and unsustainable immigration – both legal and illegal – has reduced English to an optional language in the U.S.

Raise your hand if you believe for a second that the Spanish language labels on virtually every possible consumer item in the U.S. are intended to be temporary.

A terrific bargain on a slightly used bridge in New York for anyone who thinks that instructions to “press one for English” at the outset of a phone call in Georgia is either accidental or not intended as a permanent addition to the nation’s “rich tapestry”.

Amnesty-again activist, and former League of United Latin American Citizens president Hector Flores is arrogant enough – and more candid than Tucker – to reveal the real agenda when he boasts that “we are as American as anyone else… but we won’t give up our language or culture” when describing his “Mexican – American” demands.

From experience, this long time American knows that sentiments like “long live the immigration authorities! ” are received with even more disdain by Tucker and Co. when they are expressed in the Spanish language that Obama tells us we should teach our children.

Say it along with the majority of Americans Ms. Tucker: “Viva la Migra” ! ( VIDEO )

The strategy of the anti-English, post – American forces of balkanization and separatism is never more clear than when legislation is perennially introduced in Congress to make English the official language of the U.S. – and that concept is branded as “divisive” and “un-American” by media elite and their fellow travelers in the open borders lobby . Including members of Congress.

“This amendment is racist” was Senate Majority leader Harry Reid’s reaction to an amendment aimed at making English merely the “national language” in 2006.

In the last Georgia legislative session, a resolution (HR 413) that would have allowed Georgians to vote in November on making English the constitutionally official language of government here never made it out of the House.

While well-funded ethnocentric radicals swarmed the Gold Dome hallways and worked tirelessly to kill the bill, according to many Georgia Representatives who were lobbied for a “NO” vote, success in denying Georgia voters an opportunity to decide for themselves was largely due to the efforts of the business lobby.

One legislator was heard to explain “I can’t vote yes on this, Coca Cola was just here and they are against it”.

On this, Obama, Tucker and McCain – and the real political bosses in the corporate boardrooms – are fooling no one. A borderless, bilingual marketplace of hyphenated “new Americans” is the common goal.

We should ignore the rhetoric and ask ourselves the obvious question: What could be more American than secure borders, a livable nation and speaking English in America?
