    This is an accurate account of the way most Americans feel about our National Language, the singer has a little twist on how she pronounces some of the words though...lol

    Enjoy

              Thanks for the musical message ... I just hope that Americans can be patient with new and legal immigrants who are in the process of learning to speak English. How often have you seen intolerance and bias towards a foreigner who has not yet learned to speak fluently?

                I agree. If you come to this country to live, then learn the language and culture. You don't have to discard your prior language or culture but ours come first.

                      The North American Union is coming, like it or not. If you don't like it VOTE DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO CONGRESS. The ones there are already on corporate payrolls, the intentions are to destroy the working class in this country.......

                          I wanted to comment on what someone said as a response on the YouTube site. They mentioned that this country has always been very tolorant of other cultures/beliefs/values. This is because from all our wonderful differences everybody all had one thing in common and that was we could all communicate using English. I really believe having another major language spreading in the country is starting to divide this nation.

                            I don't know - it's Sat. a.m. and I just viewed the

                            video - and maybe I'm cranky 'cause I just finished

                            shoveling snow.............but what is it about

                            people who want to exault in their patriotism by

                            putting a CROSS in the flag of our nation?

                            It's my flag too! The Stars and Stripes were

                            meant for ALL of us 100%. What is it about

                            English as the official language that seems go

                            go hand-in-hand with the USA as a Christian nation?

                            Okay - I've put in my 2-cents worth - now I've got

                            to go out and do the front walks.......maybe I'll

                            simmer down..........maybe
