In my opinion, the same argument can be said about the linguistic health of our country.

When immigrants are not encouraged to learn and use English when conducting official government business, the dangers and ramifications are too great a risk.

Allowing translations and translated documents to permeate in city halls, government agencies poses a threat to the ability of government to function in an effective and cohesive manner.

Although the immediate perception of offering translations “appear” to be good-intentioned, the long-term effect is that the incentive to learn English is diminished, eroded, essentially delayed and the reliance by an immigrant on government’s help and interaction becomes life-threatening.

Former New York Gov. George Pataki announced Wednesday the creation of a national organization that will work to repeal the Democrats’ health care overhaul, which he called a “horrific” and costly bungle.

Pataki said his nonprofit group, Revere America, will develop a grassroots network and highlight national opposition to the health care law, which he believes will impose a $500 billion burden on U.S. taxpayers and tighten government control of the health care system.

“I can’t recall anything remotely like this in my lifetime,” Pataki told FoxNews.com. He said the law was passed in the face of substantial opposition from the public and hastily rammed through Congress by its chief architects, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

In today’s Peoples World he claims an “historic victory” in the health care front and looks forward to more more battles on the road to American socialism.

Lopez makes it clear that Obamacare is only a first step on the road to fully socialized healthcare “enshrined in the Bill of Rights, as an amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing free health care for all as a basic human right”.
