Welcome the Stranger

Nashville's English First initiative failed as the elites, the media, the leftist churches, synagogues, and mosques, and the mindless, confabulated what was a common sense measure to limit expense that would be incurred by having to publish every government document in multiple languages and to prevent the taxpayer from having to bear the cost of providing translators for the tower of Babel of languages that are now being spoken here often by people who did not even enter the country legally into what they termed as racism. Eric Crafton's proposal was distorted to be a discriminatory assault on Federal matching funds and even tourism. University heads gratuitously inserted themselves and encouraged the voting public and particularly their students to vote it down. College students who are not native to Nashville and have no desire to remain here after their studies should not be given the same standing in a vote as people who own property here, but of course, these youngsters who think they are idealistic but are in fact uninformed and naive, will negate your well-informed vote. They should stick to drinking beer and spreading chlamydia and save their leftism for their hometowns. Illegal aliens had no barrier to casting ballots either due to Tennessee's lax motor voter law. Nashville welcomes visitors from America or abroad and should continue, but the elites in Nashville and around the nation do not understand concepts as elementary as self-interest, sovereignty, and even self-preservation. Many of those who require government business in languages other than English have come from parts of the Middle East that spawn terror. Others have arrived here from the failed state of Somalia. Americans should not be forced to foot the bill for those who may be here to try and kill us. The head of the Department of Homeland Security, Robert Chertoff warned that the greatest threat to the inauguration ceremonies sprang from Somali terrorists. Not everyone who comes to Nashville wants gainful employment or to take in a show at the Opry.
