Para estupidezes, lea Kathleen Parker

La zorra estadounidense Kathleen Parker, columnista para el Orlando Sentinel, escribe:

Para espanol, oprima el dos. [Evidentemente, el Sentinel no tiene ninguna letra "ñ"]

Even if one does not speak Spanish, most Americans are familiar with those words. They hear them nearly any time they make a call to the phone, utility or other company that offers service in two languages. "For Spanish, press two."

Even though I speak and love Spanish, I find myself increasingly annoyed by this unsubtle notice that the U.S. is gradually becoming a bilingual nation. And therein lies the source of much aggravation American citizens feel as Congress weighs in on illegal immigration.

Tengo una sugerencia para ésa señora con tantas limitaciones: simplemente pulse el "uno"! En ésa manera, puedes oir solamente inglés. Y no tienes que oir una lingua extraña y de miedo. Es muy fácil.

La blanca señora respetable sigue escribir:

At least a segment of those protesting consider themselves to be neither immigrant nor illegal. Signs at one recent rally, for example, read "This is our country, not yours!" and "All Europeans are illegal." Reconquista is the word they choose to define their mission, meaning "reconquest."

Yo no hay viendo ningun letrero con "Reconquista". Tengo dudas que ella dice la verdad.

David Neiwert escribe:

The problem is [that] the whole notion of "reconquista" as a plot to invade America is just another far-right conspiracy theory that has floated about among extremists for years and is now surfacing, like the fetid turd of an idea it is, in the mainstream punch bowl.

Ése, es verdad.
