"Mikey," calling himself "Still a Patriot," wrote some fascinating
sentences, to wit:
1. If it were not
so, the founding fathers would have written the constitution in several
other languages.
I do admire those who can read the minds of individuals who have been dead
many decades!
2. I feel it is a disgrace when considerations to alter
American society for the betterment of the less fortunant is ridiculous.
I also feel that it is a disgrace when "considerations ... is ridiculous."
(But I don't usually say so in public!)
3. Furthermore, it is disgusting to go down towards
Miami or Southern California and seeing all those Spanish signs.
Ah, yes -- one might even think that some Americans are actually smart
enough to learn more than one language! And we all now that that ain't true!
Etc. etc. etc. Thank you, Mikey, for your highly revealing post!
(But just which language were you writing in? I couldn't tell.)
