Another great Republican bill about jobs

Or not. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) and Representative Steve King (R-Iowa) have re-introduced their English Language Unity Act. The bill declares English the official language of the United States and requires the government to continue operating in it -- with a few exceptions, including:

"using terms of art or phrases from languages other than English."
​

While this bill would appear to have very little actual relationship to the Republicans' single-minded focus on jobs, it would at least allow for presidents to address their Italian counterparts with "Amigo, amigo!" The bill also makes the folks at ProEnglish very happy, since they've been pushing "Official English" bills in several states, and getting somewhere.

What is it with libs? Has their disappointment turned them into ignorant hate filled nut cases? Republicans aren't supermen. They have been in the majority for a little over two months. Democrats still have their crooked senate majority leader and a quasi commie in the white house with a brain damaged VP. Give republicans a couple of months at least. We gave democrats four years in congress and a long, long, long two years in the white house.
