Spread the word!


Jeb Bush and Pope Francis only want to talk to the American People in Spanish.

What do you think?

Why don't they just use the parlance of marxism. Works just well.

Last I looked, most people here speak English.

My take? Both ¡Jeb! and the Pope think that Spanish speakers feel excluded because of language issues. They believe that alienating English speakers is the proper course because they believe that English is waning in the US and elsewhere.

Reasons number ___ why Trump is trouncing ¡Jeb! and why Catholics are questioning their own leadership.

Has anyone ever heard Jeb Bush's wife speak English?
I'm guessing she identifies with mainstream American culture about as much as the Pope does.

Come to the USA, speak English. Don't want to do that? Then stay home. No one asked you to come here. We can't have a country with people speaking 20 different languages.

Everyone knows Bush and Rubio are just pandering and trying to get Hispanic votes.

For English Select 1

While lecturing the USA on immigration and presumably racism someone should ask El Popo
where did the Argentines hide the bodies of their Indians and black people.

He seems to think the Treaty of Tordesillas is still in effect and all of North America actually belongs to Hispania. I'm thinking El Popo is more Borgia than he is St Francis.

To set the record straight, the pope will give some of his addresses in English, not Spanish.

Pope Benedict and Pope John Paul II both spoke English, although if you think back, JPII had a fairly thick accent. Before that, it was unusual for a pope to be fluent in so many languages.

Popes travel the world -- just how many languages do you expect him to be able to communicate in?

When the President -- any president -- visits other parts of the world, is it reasonable to expect him to speak the native language?

This post seems like just an excuse to bash the pope. Not nice.
