    1. I think you are missing the point. It’s not a language as much as it is a religion or way of life. And a not so moral/fair or inclusive way of life.

      Maybe you should read the Koran, they have them translated to English. Thomas Jefferson read it and it scared the boogers out of him. He then formed the Marines to fight the Barbary pirates which were Arabic speaking Muslims. Whom by the way believe profit through concurring and left is preferable to earing a living by toil and sweat of the brow.

      2. It´s a language, there are Christian arabs who speak arabian

        And btw Jefferson came late to the Party, centuries late.
        Otto II, Don Juan d´Austria, Prince Eigen of Savoy, Jean de Valette, de Payens and their Brothers, Maximilian Emanuel the blue Elector, John Sobieski, Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg, Charles of Lorraine, Lepold V Duke of Austria are only a few names who Comes to my mind.

    2. What’s the problem with homeschooling your children? There is no reason parents can’t teach their children 3 or 4 languages. Incidentally, why should we parents who homeschool our children pay to government-school your (and anyone else’s) children?

    3. What’s the problem? Look at California, where MILLIONS of Mexicans, both legal and illegal, have taken over… er… moved. At first, the Spanish-speaking kids were thrown into the general population of the public schools. ‘Sounds cruel, but they picked up English… PRONTO! Then came English as a second language, or “ESL,” where the Mexican kids are given their lessons in Spanish, with a side-order of English class thrown in. These kids learn just enough English to “pass” for the year. In short, they speak Spanish 99.9% of the time, and never really learn English.

      …Twenty years later, my fully grown, American-born, English-speaking kids need to take remedial SPANISH in order to get a job, as a BIG chunk of the population of the state speaks NO ENGLISH AT ALL, and most customer-facing job positions now require applicants to be bilingual! Why’s that? BECAUSE THAT POPULATION WAS NEVER FORCED TO LEARN IT!!!

      …Shall I continue?…

      1. From the northeast…try getting any kind of human services job without speaking Spanish. It doesn’t matter how much you care about people, or how smart or effective you are. No job.

        And yes, some people really do need help (battered wife with three young children and no education, for example), and use the help they get.

        Others do not. As is always the case with everything.

  2. re:
    government schools

    Nope.

    If I want to learn a skill, a language, I offer to apprentice under a mentor.

    The government agents at the government schools. Hilarious.

    * * * * *

    I remember somebody suggested the hypothetical:
    So, you put your children a government bus operated by the government agents.
    Your children are out of your control, under control of the government agents, for eight or more hours each day.
    Would you put your firearms on a government bus? Your pantry? Your dog?
    And trust the government agents to return them to you in better condition?

  4. “Government overreach”
    It is not overreach. Or meddling. It’s extortion, plain and simple. I suspect the local township is having a spending problem, or someone connected to local government wants that land for something that will deliver more tax revenue in the future
    Regardless of the historical use of the land or what is growing on the neighboring properties, the so-called expert they are basing their claim on has determined that that 16 acres should have about 1500 fully mature trees growing on it, or 93.75 trees per acre with about 450 sq. feet per tree. Does that sound like a healthy density to anyone? Not to me.

  5. The parents in France are choosing to send their kids to a like minded institution for a reason, they do not want their kids to be like French kids. Their children are their future, these children will become the future decision makers. I don’t think Macron will be able to entice these parents to change their ways, and he does see the future being led by the migrants and that may be his reasoning for trying to get them into public school. Just a thought.

  6. NEWS FLASH! There are MILLIONS of Conservatives stuck in California for one reason or another. Not all of us are in a position to move to the Redoubt, or are apprehensive as to how we’ll be received if we do. Our voices are censored by the loony Left, but we’re here. Get away from the urban Liberal “utopias,” and there are still plenty of American flags flying. Those among this group lucky enough to get out of the state aren’t taking LIBERAL VALUES with them; they’re ESCAPING them. I, for one, am TIRED of being regarded something less than a citizen of the United States!

    ON the other hand, if your state is attracting people from California with JOBS, you need to watch yourselves. THESE are the places where people are moving not for political reasons, but for economic ones. THESE are the places importing Liberal values, and are most definitely in danger of “going purple,” or even blue. How do I know this? Suffice it to say, California used to be the REDDEST of red states… ‘Used to be a real nice place to live, and fly Old Glory… You might want to brace yourself, Texas… You’re doing the same thing that got California into trouble… And you’ve got that same …other country… on your southern front…

    As for “political refugees” from California driving up the costs of real estate at their move destinations, THAT problem can be squarely blamed on the GREED of the SELLERS and RE AGENTS in the RECEIVING STATES, who are trying to make a killing, selling $80K properties for $300K, knowing that the buyers probably sold their houses in California for about that much. If you’re contemplating doing this, then you’re part of the problem. This is EXACTLY how a house in California valued at $65K in 1977 came to be valued at over $250K in 2018…

    1. Agreed. The NE part of California where I live is conservative. More conservative than some places in the redoubt. We are always aghast at the shenanigans of Insanecremento. If I could ever get ahead I would like to flee to the redoubt. Meanwhile, I stay and vote straight RED.

      1. If the State of Jefferson ever became a reality, I’d consider moving back… California has some beautiful areas, but unfortunately it has gone off the deep end politically. Not likely to be fixed any time soon.

  7. The French are in the process of surrendering their country to the new owners. Macron is trying to manage the decline. I suspect that he believes that by being “nice” to the new people — who, with their higher birth rate, will be in charge soon — they will be nice in return.

    I hope I’m wrong, but I suspect that France’s Muslim population will see these concessions as signs of weakness and will act accordingly.

    Here’s an essay from The Spectator (London):

    Coffee House
    France is fracturing but Macron remains in denial (https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/10/france-is-fracturing-but-macron-remains-in-denial/)

    Respectfully submitted,

  9. Hey, I live in Texas and I see it already! No need to brace, it’s already here. Home prices in Austin have sky rocketed in the last year or two and now most can’t even afford a home in the ‘burbs, which are on my doorstep (read: right BEHIND me). Oddly enough gentrification has only pushed out the lower income people/ mostly minority population and since farmland is still affordable outside of the city (Or WAS, I should say as my taxes have gone up 105% FROM LAST YEAR) my neighborhood has undergone lots of changes in the diversity. My house was robbed for the first time in the 50 years my family has been here only earlier this year…tell me that’s not a sign of what’s to come? And with the likes of liberal Austin city council who doesn’t just rule Austin, but the entire TRAVIS COUNTY, things are going to hell a lot quicker than I would’ve imagined. Pray that Beto-I’m-gonna-run-for-president-one-day-O’rourk doesn’t win in November! His message of peace and love and I-won’t-partake-in-the-smearing was laughable in the beginning at best, until he started losing in the polls and “stooped” to Ted Cruz’s level and began running attack ads, too. Just another loser democrap…mark my words though, he’s being groomed, just like Obama was.
