Ban Non-English Media in America

[protectionist]

You know under hard-line Communism as was practiced under Stalin or Mao, for example, it was extremely hard to travel outside the country, impossible without special permission from the officials. Actually the same in North Korea today.

Are you suggesting the United States doing something like this as well?

Why are you asking such a weird and TOTALLY OFF TOPIC question ????????????

Because Americans would be totally unable to communicate in some countries they would visit if they can't learn a foreign language.

why do you hate capitalism?

What do you ask such a ridiculous question ? (with no foundation whatsoever)

“Ban Non-English Media in America”

Such is the authoritarian right and the contempt most conservatives have for the First Amendment.

As has likely already been correctly noted, any measure seeking to ‘ban’ non-English speaking media would be struck down as un-Constitutional – not that most on the right care anything about the Constitution, of course.

FALSE! Establishing English as the national language and banning non-English, has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment (this is a common liberal tactic)

The 1st amendment has only to do with speech CONTENT, not speech FORM.

No charge for the tutoring.

What if some information was available only in a language other than English? Then you are banning CONTENT.

So, you are going to ban Yiddish, German, Polish, French, and the many other small circulation papers in the US? How about those in Native American? You going to ban those also?

Straw man fallacy.

Democrats do not ‘encourage’ immigration – illegal immigration in particular.

Democrats correctly understand that immigrants are among our greatest assets, and Democrats don’t have an unwarranted fear of immigration, as is not the case with most conservatives.

That immigrants who become citizens tend to vote Democratic comes as no surprise, given the baseless fear and hostility they encounter from the GOP.

NONSENSE!!! Everybody knows the Democratic party (and in particular, Hillary Clinton) is in bed with Mexico, China, et al countries to have their people come here, and become DEMOCRAT VOTERS. There are other VESTED INTERESTS as well, who have their own special interest reasons, but they are just in alliance with Democrats on immigration.

The Democrats have clearly shown their encouragement of immigration (illegal immigration in particular) by engaging in an almost solid 100% vote in Congress in favor of Sanctuary Cities, Amnesty for illegal aliens (which they laughably/eupemistically call "comprehensive immigration reform"), and a continual misinterpretation of the 14th amendment, to establish birthright citizenship and the anchor baby racket.

Democrats understand that illegal immigration is imperialism attack against the USA, pillaging our economy for $133 Billion/year in remittances$$ ($24 Billion/yr to Mexico alone) + tens of Billions/year more in welfare via the anchor baby racket & false documentation. They also know that in addition to this modern day Viking invasion, that millions of jobs are being swiped away from Americans, but GLOBALISTS like Hillary Clinton don't care because they have no allegiance to the USA, and they see life as a GLOBAL thing, not a national one.

The reason Democrats don't fear immigration is because they are INTERNATIONALISTS (GLOBALISTS) and thus don't care about the long list of harms against America, because they don't care about America. They care about the whole world.

The immigrants who come to America tend to vote Democratic, because they know it is Democrats who support their invasion, pillaging, job stealing, disease spreading etc. One group invades the country. The other group has no sense of nationalism and just wants the immigrants' VOTES ( a pure quid pro quo) And the illegal aliens SHOULD be getting hostility from the GOP and all of the American people, They are invaders, economy pillagers, tax treasury robbers, and job stealers, who disrespect our laws (and us) by coming here illegally.

The lack of hostility, and friendliness that Democrats show to illegal aliens and the countries who send them, and the deceit (as in the post I'm responding to) is definitive of TREASON.

Yup. But not in the case of the American Indian tribes, becasuse they are separate nations from the USA. Tribal sovereignty is a form of parallel sovereignty, within the U.S. constitutional framework, constrained by but not subordinate to other sovereign entities (including the US govt)

This situation doesn't exist, and if it did, no problem. The foreign language content could simply be translated into English, and then disseminated in English (as are copies of the Koran)

Apparently you don't understand the Constitution of the United States.

You have the right to speak whatever language you desire- and publish in whatever language you desire- in the United States. Protectionist- as always- wants to piss on the Constitution- by having government prohibit free speech and free press- in any language Protectionist objects to.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

This doesn't say you have the right to publish in non-English languages or in any language. An English only law has nothing to do with the Constitution. Nice try.

I really find it strange that anyone would ever want to have multiculturalism in their country. Millions of people running around together, unable to communicate with one another. Simply RIDICULOUS..

All media in America (radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, public songs, etc) that are not in the English language should be banned. The USA should establish it self as an English-speaking country, with English as the official national language, and all others banned from the public scene.

The rise of non-English media has been concurrent with rises in immigration from non-English speaking countries, including a large influx of illegal aliens. These illegals are counter to the interests of Americans in many ways. Yet, their presence here is being encouraged by having TV stations in Spanish and possibly other languages, numerous AM radio stations, and even PA systems in WalMart play unAmerican songs in Spanish.

All of this encourages people to come here illegally, and then not learn English once they're here.

There's no mystery to this. Democrats have been encouraging immigration (including illegal) for decades) and rely on the immigrants for votes. Instead, thus immigration should be DIScouraged, and what immigrants do come here (legally) should be encouraged to learn English and speak, as my mother's family did, when they arrived here in 1929.. They had no media for them in Danish. No voting ballots in Danish for them. My paternal grandparents likewise, learned English back in the 1890s. They had no Spanish newspapers or voting ballots in Spanish. They learned English. That is how it should be now too.

That's ******* stupid.
This country has been made of immigrants since Columbus started cutting off Indians' hands when they failed to bring him gold. Newspapers in Polish. Menus in Chinese. Road signs in French. Here in Carolina we actually have some road signs in Cherokee. Go practice your linguistic genocide somewhere else.

Can you speak Danish?

You’re an ignorant, hateful bigot.

And you have every right to be an ignorant, hateful bigot, and to freely express your fear, ignorance, and hate, as guaranteed by the First Amendment, the same First Amendment you clearly despise.

Having English as the one distinctive language of the NATION, simply serves the purpose of making the NATION be just that. A NATION. Without a single distinctive language, a territory is not a NATION, but rather is a disorganized, mess of people unable to communicate with each other, because they speak different languages.

This is why NATIONS are NATIONS. It's how and why they came to be. It is a purely EFFICIENCY thing. It has nothing whatsoever to do with hating or bigotry, but never let an opportunity to throw the bigot card go by, without taking advantage of it, is how liberals see it. And even in situations like this, where there is nothing related to bigotry in any way. Liberals are truly deranged people.

NATION - a stable, historically developed community of people, with a territory, economic life, distinctive culture and language in common. (Webster's New World College Dictionary, 4th edition)

No charge for the tutoring. Same goes for all the airheads mentioning facism, bigotry, or whatever other off topic, and unrelated things they're babbling about.

Not only is the Obama/Clinton cartel not going to ban foreign language in media, they have taken writing away from our children and are teaching them to read and write in Arabic instead. ..

Thanks for the right wing nut job point of view.

There is no "point of view". There is only FACT. Nations are what they are due to a distinctive single language. That's is how and why they became a nation. You either have a nation or you don't. Globalists (like Democrats) don't WANT a single nation. They want to do away with borders, and they see the world map as not having national borderlines. They are apart from reality > deranged.

So who's going to translate the banned material into English, if learning a foreign language is banned, and the original material is banned as well? I would imagine the dictionary is also banned.

Tell ya what Geography teacher, go and tell Canada, or most countries in Europe that they aren't countries because they recognize more than one official language.

They'll laugh you out of the country.

China rated this post "funny".
Switzerland went with "hilarious". But they did it in four different languages.

If our forcing everybody to speak English would make us "a nation" ......

What would it make the UK?

And Canada?
And Australia and New Zealand?
Guyana? Belize? India?
