Topic: Conservative Commentary

As a candidate myself, I have noticed that despite reality, we do not often enough pay attention to bilingual minorities or to those who do not speak English.

In fact in chagrin I plan a Spanish page on my own website after thinking deeper about this.

I had thought of this a while ago, and intended to try to push for us to not just get a person to write for us, but for every candidate to be able to passably speak and write a different language.

The value of knowing how to speak to minorities in their language is an amazing boost to the votes you can get from that group.

I believe Bush, a moderate, won due to his outreach in Spanish to Spanish Speakers. Every edge counts!

We Conservatives are correct in wanting to give everyone the gift of a single language, as studies show if you fluently speak and write English you earn more than otherwise (Statistically speaking).

But we also then ignore those who have trouble with languages, who feel they are to old to learn a new language, those who are deaf, and those the Democrats supress by placing them in 'native language' classes.

Lets not kid ourselves... legal immigrants are very staunchly pro-American, let us channel this for Conservative values.

To that end, finally, in January I started learning Tagalog (The Filipino language).

Having examined language programs I found one that can work for my schedule. I am not associated in anyway with, but just use a paid for copy, of an app called LLingo, which you can choose from dozens of languages.

Of course there is Rosetta Stone and others.

This is something we as an ideology need to incorporate into our structure. Being bilingual is not a chore, not useful.... but a necessity for stopping the tide of liberalism.


As always this is just my .02 cents.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!
Kemp currently not being responded to until he makes CONCISE posts.

Re: Conservative Commentary

Bush was quite moderate.  He created Medicare part D, a permanent entitlement which means the rich are covered as well as the poor.  Like Rush Limbaugh said, he's can get meds from the pharmacy, wave teh bottle at the clerk and say "thanks sucker, your taxes bought it for me".

Bush pushed for amnesty for illegal aliens who do not want to renounce their Mexican citizenship to work here illegally and ship the money home illegally.

Bush let Congress spend all it wanted so they also spent what he demanded on his wars.

Bush tried to throw money at banks and bailed out the car companies instead of letting them fail while guaranteeing deposits.  If he'd been more conservative,  Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and Apple would be the largest bankers in America and the feds could guarantee THEM and make money loaning to Ford, the last surviving Big 3 automaker.

Your European notions of "moderate right" are lefty loonytune pinko.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
