Thompsonx, First, if you have a regular drivers license, DMV issued ID, military ID, or passport, you dont need the free ID. Only people who dont, wont, etc have to get the free ID good for nothing but voting, which in and of itself makes about as much sense as a milk bucket under a bull. But clearly, your inability to understand a simple thing, or even research the facts seems to justify your insults. Second, I dont get welfare, instead I get a vet disability check, insurance and social security, so again, stop your bullshit. Third, when stationed in a foreign country, I learned the language of the host country, I learned German as a child because my father was stationed in Germany, my mom learned German, dad learned German, why? Because it was the spoken language of the fucking country. Only in the US are we expected to learn the language of illegal aliens, immigrants and who the fuck else comes to this country, where it is not necessary for them to have more than a rudimentary understanding of English to become a fucking citizen. Then there are bleeding hearts like you that feel that these people coming to the states have more rights than people born here, that we should learn their language and cater to their needs. I grew up in this country, and when I was going to school, kids that did not speak English were required to learn English by the time they got to 6th grade, or they did not progress to 7th. Foreign languages offered were Spanish, French, and Latin. Teachers were not required to be bilingual. When I went to school, the pledge of allegiance was said in the mornings, we prayed before football games, we could wear the US flag without having to worry about offending Latinos, and people got along. When I graduated in 1980, people spoke English in stores, government offices, and the military taught English to enlistees who did not fully understand it. Then came the 21st century, and "Press 1 for English." requiring state issued photo ID to vote or anything else was discriminatory, lets give amnesty to illegals who are already in the freaking country, oh, and stopping illegal border crossing is discriminating against minorities. And then it is my fucking fault because I dont want to learn Spanish? That is exactly what is wrong with the Democrats and liberals today. Lets bend over backwards to help everyone but legal American citizens. You know why I have a shitty outlook about the US of the 21st century, it is simple, there is no longer any Americans, we have Americans segmented by ethnic heritage, religion, tax bracket, region, even what part of a city you are from. Does anyone want to do anything about it, hell no, liberals and conservatives have been busting balls to make it worse. Electing an African American didnt bring this country together, it fucked it up worse, you had the birthers, and every other paranoid group in the country feed enough crap to the media to start the tea party, you have the propaganda machines of both parties telling half truths and bald faced lies, FOX and MSNBC, the major networks contradict themselves half the time, CNN spends countless weeks talking about crap that has about as much to do with this country as who the fuck is the king of the Gypsies. The United States has become the laughing stock of the planet. We are either trying to shove our idea of democracy down some poor countries throat, making deals to get soldier back that got captured while AWOL, and a president that orders the execution of Americans without the benefit of a court room trial. For the first two years of Obama's presidency, we could blame bush, but after that, it was all President Ooops Obama. You can stand by while rights of average American citizens are being whittled down to appease minority members who cant even understand or read the Declaration of Independence without it being translated to another language, if you want to. Personally, I will keep buying guns, speaking English, and telling people that cant speak English to either learn the language or run their happy ass back to where ever they came from.
