Let's make this song the number one hit on the Billboard Top 40!!!!
What do you think?
CLinTN
I like this song. Let's make it the national anthem.

According to Barry, we should all be learning another language or two. That's fine and dandy, but what about the Hispanics who don't speak a lick of English? Huh Barry? Should they have to learn english? Or should we just assimilate to them?
It makes absolutely no sense not to have English as the official language of the US.
Beano
Don't listen to good ole Bar! He's the worst POTUS we've ever had!!!
PoliticalTom
Why cant the phone messages say, "Press 1 for Spanish", and then continue without interruption in English if nothing is pressed????
From tn.
I SO AGREE WITH YOU !!!
rzacek
I'm tired of having to select my language on phone systems, ATMs and everywhere else. Phone systems should be programmed top disconnect if someone chooses a language other than English! :)
D.W.
I have traveled around the world on business, the universal language being English. Do you think the president would have gotten elected if he didn’t speak English?
Beano
I know he wouldn't have gotten elected if it weren't for Acorn and idiots like you!!

"Press 1 for English"

Before the last presidential election I only hired US citizens. Since the election I have only hired foreigners. In doing so I take the burden off my employer and get to keep my job. Don't worry though, Obama take care of you!

hey , cep wake up most legal immigrants do speak AMERICAN ENGLISH dirt bag NOT ILLEGAL'S
Amex
All the intelligence studies I've seen say that the average Asian IQ is 20pts higher than average Caucasian IQ. We shoud all be trying to learn Japaneese as quickly as possible.
rDk
The song was in english and I loved it.

I've been many times to Mexico, and have travelled throughout Europe. You want to know how many English signs I saw? ZERO!
Failure to speak English leads to all sorts of other problems and failure to assimilate. We are a melting pot -- not a cafeteria. I figure if you can't speak, read and write English, you lose. Of course, I am also against dual citizenship.
BW
CEP please quit posting. Everything you say is left wing liberal junk. Every country i go to has their own launguage, not english. If you fail to see that while traveling you must be blind or a far left liberal. Quit wasting space, move away from america if you do not like it here as it sounds. go please leave!
Cep
BW,clearly you are closer in spirit to Mussolini than Jefferson. I mean, if someone disagrees with you, do you automatically label what they say "liberal junk' and demand that the writer leave the country or what...throw him in jail? If you are think you are a patriot, then don't use undemocratic, unpatriotic language. What makes American great is this open dialogue (Thank you for this, Foxnation), where people are not exiled for disagreeing.
Also, clearly you haven't read what I wrote. Not once have I denied that English isn't the main language and that other countries haven't got 'main' language or that immigrants shouldn't learn it. If you can't summarize my argument better than than, how do you expect me to argue with you? And while you are at it, look up the definition for 'straw man.'
Cep
You must have been walking around with your eyes shut. Buy me a ticket to either location, I'll show you over a hundred in a day. ( ;
As for 'failure to speak English," the community colleges and adults schools are filled with students who are trying to study English and 'fit in.' Who told you that they weren't? If you are really concerned, you ought to tutor them in English (I do) instead of wasting wasting your time fighting phantoms. It would be good for your soul.

NEED a laugh.....Worth seeing, vid featuring "Nancy Pelsoi", enjoy. DEMS can dish it, but can they take it?

I love the video. English has always been the language of America because it has been the dominant language. The reality is that we have no official language of the US. We should have, and it should be English. If we want English to be our official language, write your Senators and Representatives demanding that Congress make English as the official language.
Cep
English, by which you probably mean American English, is the language we speak. It is a fact of life, and it doesn't really need to be made official. Instead of wringing your hands and railing against The Other, why not read those works of American English where our language comes into its own, where it is used in its most expressive and powerful? Lincoln and Falkner, Whitman and Adams, McCarthy (Cormac)and Frost and--well, we have many great writers. If you love English, study it, remember it, celebrate it and stop wasting your time on mean and dopey music videos (see above)
cep
Karen, I am glad you appreciate some of the American writers that I like. As for your second point, I respectfully disagree. I have tried as best I can to promote tolerance and understanding of the trials of learning a second language, and I have tried to avoid name calling. Many here only want to listen to one point of view, one set of values and to distort or turn out anyone who disagrees. Shouldn't you be asking them to look in the mirror instead of me? Or do you think anyone who disagrees with the majority opinion on this site is automatically filled with hatred? It is simply not true.
If you are fair, read here what I wrote and read what others write and measure objectively where the anger and hatred lie. It is easy to think that someone who disagrees with you is the enemy but actually he may be you best friend for he wants you to think with him, to share with him the burden and joys of a open-hearted and unprejudiced disagreement.
Karen Smith
I hold a degree in English Lit., and I have read all the writers you name and many, many more. I love their writings. However, I do not believe that the video is mean spirited, but you are. It is sad that you spend your time trying to cause problems instead of trying to resolve them. Do you remember what Walt Whitman said happens to a person's face when filled with hate. You should be careful.
Look in the mirror. It is not too late to change.
Cep
Hi Gerry---I don't know what the heck you mean by 'shortcomings? I have many but I don't know how my posting here has any connection with them. Do you?
I write here because, as a Christian, I think it is a duty to promote understanding and charity and reduce hatred. Also I have worked a fair amount with immigrants and the sound and commentary here is, in my humble opinion, very false and counterproductive to our nation and to our struggle to be moral beings.
Gerry
Seems as tho you get a big kick out of blasting everyone else for your shorcomings. I count 5 of your comments for every one that is posted. Wish that was all I had to do.
Storm
I have lived in Germany twice. If you were not on an American post...EVERYTHING was in German. All the signs, menus, instructions, directions etc. I had to either learn the language...or do some really good hand gestures. They didn't cater to me. It was their land and I was expected to learn their ways.
~~
I expect the same on my land.
Cep
Do you really think most immigrants don't want to learn and do things 'the American way?" Or they don't want to learn English? Or that their children won't be as American as you and I. What evidence do you have that this is a problem? Really, Fox and the Angry Right, as myopic as Kos and the Angry Left, have created yet another bogyman to be scared of and growl at. For your pleasure and their profit.
Cep
Well, my experience of Germany was very different. Perhaps there was some anti-American feelings near the bases(I don't know), but I have been in few countries were they spoke so much and so well in English. Now, did you learn German and do things the 'German way." I hope so. (By the way, culture is not a permanent fixture in the Universe. It is man-made and it changes in time.)
Grigno
Anti American sentiment near the bases in Germany? Ya think? lol.
Cep
I guess you guys addicted to your anger and need something to vent it on, but there are better things to attack than this. The developed countries of the world-US, Japan, Europe, have lots of immigrants, and those immigrants by and large (if they are first generation) want to learn the language. They don't resist learning. But if you have ever tired to learned a language, it is hard work, especially if you are an adult. As for their children, born in the USA or coming when young, it isn't an issue: English comes naturally and it is their parent's language that they struggle with.
Rick
Cep, you say you have lived in Europe and Japan! Could you do all of us a favor and go live in one of those countries. This is about our country, religion, values and not inviting everyone to a welfare state. Stop being so narrow minded, I guess you have no problem with removing God from everything, as well!
Cep
First of all, I am a Christian and nothing I said promotes a 'welfare state.' Why stereotype anyone who disagrees with you? Second, who is "Us?" You mean the only real Americans are the minority of the people who voted against Obama? Doesn't it also belong to the rest of us, the majority? Third, are you saying that if I don't agree with you, I have to leave (very unamerican thing to say). And last of all, who is being narrow minded? I am asking people to be tolerant and be open to other languages and cultures, and to show also more sympathy.
Your posting seems to be choking with contradiction and anger. Take a deep breath.

Every time the National Anthem is played, this song should be played right afterwards
Americans Rule
Will the last American leaving Please bring the flag!!
Karen
AMEN! !
Mr Joshua
I have 5 dollars that some drive media type will be calling her a bigot by Wensday. Any takers?
gringo
She probably IS a bigot, but nothing in this trashy cheesy sermon of the ignorant is out and out bigoted. A tad xenophobic, sure. Typical trailer trash? Without doubt.
Karen Smith
Cep, your code name, gringo, does not disguise you. Look in that mirror and see what hate is doing to you.
Gary Trayler
Why is this so hard for people to get. This is America People! not MEXICO.
Neil
English has been and always should be the language of this country. Stop making me press 1 for English. I do not care to read Mexican menus. When I do through a drive-through. Speak what im ordering, not your translation of it.
Loyal American
I love it! God bless the USA!!! Don't let them take away your freedom and liberty!
ncnut
try calling the social security 800 # and first thing they ask you to do is press 1 for english Thats a goverment phone but treated like outsider if Americans have to press 1 for English Sad Sad
Mike in PA
Amen to that!!
Dan
I don't hate latin american people. I just think it's rude when they speak spanish in public and use it as a crutch to stand out as the disadvantaged minority. I don't like the fact that our American society has catered to the fact that it's ok to not be able to speak english. That we'll just adjust around them and convert everything to your language. Put it this way, my wife is a nurse who lost hours at her job, not because the economy is bad but because some of the patients she has are spanish and don't know a lick of english. Now the hospital she works at is cutting her hours and giving them to bilingual nurses. How fair is that. America's priorities are backwards. And Im in the military still protecting and serving...thanks for the welcome home. God Bless America.
garywh
Hey Dan First off I want to say thank you for your service to this great land of ours. It's people like you who ARE KEEPING THIS COUNTRY SAFE.And second I totally agree with your statement it is rude of people.The other day I didn't know if I was in Oklahoma or Mexico totally weird.
Captain America
As someone who married a foreign national whose native language was not only not English but was also radically different from English in every possible way: grammar, syntax, and even written symbols; I have ZERO sympathy especially for ILLEGAL aliens who refuse to learn the language of the country they criminally entered but who are more than happy to take the income, property, and benefits of English speaking natives AND LEGAL immigrants earned by hard work and honest effort in order to honor our laws and fit into our society as Americans, not culturally hostile, assimilation resistant enclaves that have no interest in whatsoever in obeying or respecting our laws yet demand rights, privileges, and money they are not entitled to.
Cep
Also, why not look with pleasure and curiosity at new word and new sounds. My uncle, who had had Spanish workers for many years, learned Spanish and is thankful that they gave him the opportunity to learn a new culture, a new way of being in the world and expressing himself.
I just don't understand why Fox would show only this and not, at least along side of it, another video showing the good that can come out of learning about new cultures. This ugly little video only increases resentment. What is the point of that?
Taxpayer in MN
This "ugly little video" (your words) increases the resentment of whom? And why? If learning about new cultures is a good thing (your words), then why not imagine that immigrants to the US will enjoy learning our language and culture? Just from traveling briefly through Switzerland (where they speak 4 languages, depending on which part of the country you are in) I can tell you that they did not make special accommodations for me, even at a restaurant. I frequently had to depend on an acquaintance or the French-English dictionary to figure out what I needed to do. And I didn't expect that it should be any different. After a week, menus and road signs were fairly easy. If I were planning to stay for an extended period, I would expect to have learned a bit of the language just from the immersion. It would be OK for you to get off your soapbox on this topic.
Andy
Why does the left seem to think every culture is great except the US? We should learn African culture, we should learn Mexican Culture, we should learn Central American culture. But, US culture can be trashed at every turn.
Why would I want to learn African culture, they still slaughter each other long tribal lines on a regular basis. We could learn a lot from Sudan culture and how they handle Dufar.
I lived in Latin America for 2 years. Most croup place I have ever seen. Makes Chicago politics look honest.
It was US culture that gave us the Constitutional freedoms we enjoy. Celebrate our culture.
It is the US Service man that protects that freedom, honor them this weekend.
Paul Strutz
NO one is saying not to learn another language, what they are saying is LEARN to speak the language of the country you are LIVING in...learn to speak English, or move back to where you came from!
