From The Mailbag

The Social Progressives had trouble catching their breath when
Alabama gubernatorial candidate Tim James raised the question:
"Why do our policians make us give drivers' license examinations
in 12 languages?" Because they know language barriers are the
best wedges to make sure the people cannot unite against a
common enemy—big government.

America needs what Alabama apparently has...a leader with guts who is not afraid to speak out against the politically correct nonsense that is designed to drive a wedge between a nation of immigrants by suggesting it is a form of racism to suggest that all Americans should be allowed to speak the nation languages of their former countries. When Tim James, who is running for governor of Alabama raised the question why the drivers' license exam in Alabama is given in 5 languages (including Farsi), he said: "This is Alabama. We speak English. If you want to live here, learn it." Then he threw down the gauntlet by saying, "We're only giving that test in English if I'm governor."

James is right. It will save money...and, for the environmentalist in you, it will save trees. And for the American in you, it will serve to draw the community closer together because people who can communicate with one another, find ways to trust one another, work with one another, prosper with one another and, most important, align with one other against a common enemy...the social progressives who are attempting to hijack the future of America. It makes sense. It's a common sense approach to strengthening this nation.
