Is it just me, or does anyone else find it rather telling that the certain members of the far-right regard learning a second language as the ultimate betrayal of one's patriotism? I just think it sounds ridiculous when guys like Bobby May act as if learning a second language is akin to getting an STD. It's as if the prospect of broadening one's horizons sends a shiver into the very soul of 'mainstreet U.S.A.', wherever that is. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that two-years of foreign language was a requirement for graduation at my public highschool...Oh well, so was computer literacy. Mark down one more High School equivalence deficiency for the GOP ticket...
