Fairness because the playing field is steeply tilted in favor of large corporations and wealthy individuals. They need to pay their fair share of taxes.

Equality because we also need a single justice system in this country. Currently we have one harsh justice system for minorities and the poor, another very lenient system for the wealthy, celebrities, politicians, and legal system employees. The third justice system is for the rest of us, and we should all be in that system.

Freedom, as in personal freedom. We need a political system free from the influence of corporations. We need legalization of pot, deregulation of alcoholic beverages and freedom from helmet laws, seat belt laws, etc.

EDITOR NOTE–Rod, you are asking for waaaay too much. What do you think this is 1776?

IMO they should have voted against God. He has too many followers on this planet who are insane.

EDITOR NOTE– Of course it’s ridiculous! That’s why we said it. Lighten up a bit, all sides were ridiculous to even consider the resolution. Note what GOD had to say!

Listen to the Guardian, Jarvis. Go home. Do not come out again. Forever and ever. And take the rest of that legislature with you. Oh, and grab Silsby while you’re at it. I would send you all to hell, but it is too good for the likes of you.

One more thing, leave the one they call Otter behind. People need something to laugh at.

Sincerely,

Anybody up for another round of rights for the clinically brain dead.
We might get “W” to come pay a visit on that one.

Or, perhaps it would be better to just ignore the old fool.

On to the support of English as a national language. Such measures are racist. Full stop. No one who ever talks about keeping America an “English-speaking nation” is concerned about German or French or Gaelic or Italian or Russian or Finnish or Swedish or any other language generally associated with (mostly) white, western/northern European countries. They are concerned about brown people who speak Spanish coming over our southern border. Such resolutions are racist, and passing them gives a wink and nod to others who harbor racist sentiments. It says, “We know how you feel, and we agree.” Second, the language habits of immigrants who don’t speak the dominant language in their adopted county follow a very predictable pattern: Adults who come to America not speaking English will generally learn just enough to get by in whatever they have going on; this could be anywhere from extremely little English language skill, to a high degree of competency. Any children they have that are born here and any small children they bring with them (less than 10 or so) will probably become fully bilingual. Their children will speak English fluently and almost exclusively; they will most likely speak very little to none of their grandparents native language. So, any “threat” to America posed by non-fluent citizens will be eradicated within 30 or so years. People talk about a national language creating “cohesion” or “unity” in the country, and to that I say BS. A common language didn’t stop us from warring with British for our independence. It stop us from warring with ourselves in the Civil War. And Switzerland, that famously neutral of all countries, has 4 national languages (German, French, Italian and Romansh) and I don’t see that fact sowing a lot of discord there.

A dumb waste of their time, and by extension as taxpayers, ours. A bunch of privileged men and women exercising that privilege without any concern as to what it looks like to someone who doesn’t look, talk and pray like them.
