In 2007, Former House speaker and current GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich described bilingual education as teaching “the language of living in a ghetto,” and he mocked requirements that ballots be printed in multiple languages.

“The government should quit mandating that various documents be printed in any one of 700 languages depending on who randomly shows up” to vote, Gingrich said. The former Georgia congressman, who is considering seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, made the comments in a speech to the National Federation of Republican Women.

“The American people believe English should be the official language of the government. . . . We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto,” Gingrich said, drawing cheers from the crowd of more than 100.

Spoken like one who has little if any experience with people outside his own socioeconomic status, other than passing them on his fancy car(s) on the street. In short, the words of a thoroughly brainwashed member of the herd.

Kind of shocking idiots like this are allowed to make decisions for others in their country.

I have been watching this guy since he "POPPED UP" in the middle Herman Cain's sexual exploits. He is sleezy at best and just down right nasty at worst. A perfect new leader to take American to the END.

I am at the point now that I do not think I am even going to involve myself in the political process bngenoh. Thank you for noting that it should have been bold and quotes around leader :D I am a fan of Ron Paul but do not believe that he could change anything to the better at this point in time. Even if he pulled our troops out of all foreign countries and did away with the federal reserve and CIA as he says. I think that the shadow gov't would bury him.
