Good idea! Maybe she should set a good example by learning to speak them too.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sarah-palin-immigrants-speak-american



Former Republican vice presidential nominee and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday that immigrants to the United States should speak "American."

Tapper asked Palin for her thoughts on the dispute between Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush over Bush speaking Spanish.

Trump had said that Bush should "set the example by speaking English while in the United States."

Palin told Tapper that it was a "benefit" for Bush to be fluent in Spanish.

"On the other hand, you know, I think we can send a message and say you want to be in America, A, you'd better be here legally or you're out of here, B, when you're here, let's speak American," Palin said. "I mean that's what's -- let's speak English and that's a kind of a unifying aspect of the nation is the language that is understood by all.”

You should just rename American English to American.

Istambul should be renamed Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire should be resurrected with the head of the Von Hapsburg dynasty as its monarch.

I know this is a joke, but the History major in me is cringing so hard. Not as bad as calling English "American," though.

Such an important topic we need two threads on it.  It's important because Palin is rewriting the Constitution....what?  she's not?..you say she has no power at all, and is considered a joke to the vast majority of US Americans?  Oh yeah!  We knew that.

Good. The Fourth Crusade and the Latin Empire show fail much fail Latin Catholics bring when in charge of Byzantium.

I suppose if you're going to deport English speaker in the United States to anywhere, probably Germany or Liberia would make the most sense. Tongue
