Whose side are you on, Denny?

By jimrob | July 2, 2007

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, saying he believed all American children should learn to speak Spanish, gave his closing statement in Spanish while apologizing in advance for his accent.

Audience members at first seemed unsure how to respond, but in the end appeared somewhat charmed at his efforts to soldier through. “It worked, but barely,” Democratic Texas State Rep. Rafael Anchia said of Kucinich’s effort.

I keep forgetting there aren’t sides in this argument, just people. Poor, impoverished people who don’t have a homeland. People who have to invade move to another nation and feel left out because nobody speaks their language.

Why the hell should my kids be forced to learn Spanish? I’m sure not going to make them. If they want to, fine! The ability to speak more than one language is a very admirable one. However - do not force my children to do so against their will for the comfort of twelve-million foreign invaders.

Must you even ask which side he’s on?

I assumed the multi-national corporations in search of cheap labor and an exploitable workforce.

Was I mistaken?
