Our founding documents were written in english, government documents are printed in english, our public schools teach the english language….Semantics aside, English kinda is the ‘official’ language of this nation isn’t it…but saying so would make the globalist pussies piss themselves…right?

Two things:
First, I'm kinda' with you on the whole "you should speak English if you're going to be here" thing.
Second, did you look at the requirements for the English test? Now, this is from your own link; the USCIS website:
English Test
Your ability to speak and understand English will be determined by a USCIS officer during your eligibility interview on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.
Since it's being determined by an individual, that's going to be a subjective assessment. Some USCIS officers might be a bit more strict in their standards than others...
Reading
You must read aloud one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to read in English. The Reading Test Vocabulary List will help you study for the English reading portion of the naturalization test. The content focuses on civics and history topics.
Writing
You must write one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to write in English. The Writing Test Vocabulary List will help you study for the English writing portion of the naturalization test. The content focuses on civics and history topics.
People will, ostensibly, be spending the rest of their lives in the United States, yet their ability to communicate through the written English word will be assessed on, apparently, only two sentences: one they read and one they write. Those two sentences are going to be the sole determining factors in deciding whether or someone can read and write in English.
And, to be honest, the reading and writing requirements are, shall we say, not exactly strict or in depth. The officer reads a single sentence, and the individual has to write down what he heard. In both reading and writing, the individual can actually be incorrect 66.6% of the time and still pass the test. He's given three chances at each. He needs to get it correct only once.
Oh, and sample sentences include challenging sentences like these:
- The President lives in the White House.
- The United States has fifty states.
- Congress meets in Washington, DC.
- People vote for the President in November.
- Alaska is the largest state.
Also, there's the fact that permanent residents age 55 or older, with at least 15 years permanent residence, can get U.S. citizenship
without showing the ability to read, write and speak English. This exemption is also extended to individuals who are at least 50 years of age and have at least 20 years as a permanent resident. You cannot keep them from voting because they don't speak or read English...
