Balkanized America
Massive Third World welfare colonization + multiculturalism = balkanization. This means America will degenerate into a Tower of Babel. Already signs are often posted in two languages, in order to make obeisance to diversity. Soon the simplest signs will include whole United Nations councils worth of translations, as our politically correct rulers import peoples from all over the world to displace us.

It already was a Babel, long before you were even born, due to the mix of anglo-saxon, germanic, French, Italian, Spanish, native American and what not in your population. You just refuse to see it.
Ignorance at its best. I can understand the argument in France(though Corsican, Breizh, Euskadi & many other old languages would not agree with me), but in the USA??? THE country in the world built on immigration(though there are other contenders, I admit)?
BTW, did someone understand the first sentence? The rest I understood - and is not even wrong - but the first sentence?
"Massive Third World welfare colonization + multiculturalism = balkanization."
FFS, at least try to look it up. Balkanization is the splittering of a region into sovereign states who are not cooperative with each over and even hostile to one another. You know, as in "WHAT FUCKING HAPPEND IN THE BALKAN".

Seems to work out for Switzerland.
OK, just what is this asshole trying to say? He doesn't want people speaking any other language except English (I think)?
I don't remember anything in the Constitution about language at all, so I think the Founders didn't really give two shits, probably because the residents and citizens in those days spoke English, Spanish, French, Hebrew (sorry to anti-semites, but in those days a learned gentleman could always speak Latin, Greek and Hebrew) and a whole bunch of Native American languages. The situation only grew more complicated from there. So who is this Dave asswipe to come along and decide he knows better then the Founders?
Why does Dave Blount hate America?

Oh noes, the signs are in more than one language. Its a sign of the apocalypse everybody panic wrhhhaagabibble.
Actually I think they'll start using symbol signs first. You can drive through a lot of countries in Europe like we drive through states, so to quell translations problems they have put a lot of money into signs to convey simple ideas with common symbols. I saw a video on a competition to design an 'exit' sign that would be used in many different countries and they talked about the problem, it was very interesting. If it came down to needing so many translations on one sign, it would be easier to convert it that way.
Now if you'd like to change that, then lobby for us to have a national language so all signs are in one language every time. It's that easy.
What's that? You don't want to do actual work? You just want to bitch on the internet?
That's nice.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
