Just when you thought it was safe to say Arizona Republicans are the nation's leaders in self parody . . .
Along comes the Idaho GOP.
Some Republicans are unhappy with the Bonner County Fair’s theme of “Fiesta at the Fair,” in light of ongoing battles to stop illegal immigration from Mexico.
The Bonner County GOP said it will decorate its booth with the word “celebrate” instead of “fiesta.” The Republicans have also asked Arizona officials for some license plates to put in the booth, to show support for that state’s controversial law targeting illegal immigrants.
“The Republicans at BCRCC want to make it very clear that English is our primary language, and call our booths ’Celebrate!’ and display some Arizona license plates if you have some to spare,” Bonner County Republican Central Committee Chairman Cornel Rasor wrote in a letter to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, according to The Spokesman-Review newspaper.
Brilliant. We shouldn't use the word "fiesta" because English is our primary language. And English, or "Amurican" as we like to call it here, is certainly free of any foreign influence. Or it should be.
Which is why I say, let's get rid of "kindergarten." We don't want them Germans teaching our 5 year olds, do we?
And teaching "algebra" in our Christian American schools? Oh my God, that's an Arabic word! Who knew Al Qaeda was planning its Muslim invasion centuries ago?
It's time we started calling Old Faithful a water spurter, since "geyser" is from Old Norse.
Then there's tomato, potato and chocolate, all Native American words.
And — I tremble when I mention this — "Amen" and "Hallelujah" are Hebrew. Hebrew! Jews are controlling the churches!
I could go on, but why bother. The next thing you're going to tell me, Jesus wasn't an American, and he was Jewish to boot. Please, No! That's more than I can bear.
