Here's a question to ponder-- if this poll is supposed to prove if Americans don't want a bilingual education, why didn't it just ask-- do you think Americans should learn Spanish in school?

Didn't think so.

We speak English here. Deal with it.

I am not aware of anyone lobbying to marry their sisters, just gays trying to marry each other. You wouldn't know anything about that, since you have zero gays in Iran, right?

Here we have the whole world rapidly rising and adapting to globalization in a flat world where competition is becoming more and more tough, and there you people are worrying about two guys holding eachothers hands in the street.

Obama2008 is just a confused kid. I doubt he really hates America, but has fallen under the spell of those who do.
