The Republican-dominated Pennsylvania state House of Representatives is considering making English the official language of the state.

My ex-local rag sums it up:

These measures are remedies in search of a problem, since the vast majority of U.S. residents are fluent in English, and most immigrants are eager to learn.

Like requiring photo identification to vote, or empowering police to pull over anyone “suspected of being unlawfully” in the country, these English-only measures tap into anti-immigrant feelings that actually dishonor this nation of immigrants.

The amount of free-floating bigotry in Wingnut World appalls one.

The willingness of the “party of Lincoln” to capitalize on it disgusts one.
