VIDEO: "This is Alabama. We speak English"

By GottaLaff

Yes, Tim, this is all about saving money. It has nothing to do with whites feeling threatened, or the transition from a white male Christian society to a more diverse one.

Welcome to Scapegoat, USA.

Via The Maddow Blog:

In this advertisement, Tim speaks out on the issue of English only. Alabama offers drivers license tests in 12 languages. As Governor, he will push to have the test given in only one language, English.

It gets more disgusting:

On his website, James includes a category called "Common Sense for Crime and Public Safety." It starts with crystal meth and spouse abuse and ends with the prisons' revolving doors, and in between: "Enforce Alabama's Constitutional Amendment declaring English as the state's official language."

That's right. If you can't quite get the hang of Alabama's wannabe official, only acceptable language, then you are a violent druggie. If you're here to work hard and find a good life for yourself, you must be shooting up and throwing your significant other against walls. English-speaking white people never do stuff like that.

And the sad part is, there are voters out there who lap this up the way this guy laps up Tancredoisms.

Welcome to Election Season 2010.

Report: U.S. 2008 electorate most diverse

Nothing to grump about here. Pat Buchanan is very afraid.

WASHINGTON, April 30 (UPI) -- The electorate in the 2008 U.S. presidential election was the most diverse in the nation's history, an analysis found.

The Pew Research Center analysis found that nearly one-in-four votes in the Nov. 4 election were cast by non-whites. Blacks, Hispanics and Asians each accounted for unprecedented shares of the presidential vote, the survey found.

Pew said overall, whites made up 76.3 percent of the 131 million people who voted in the presidential election. Blacks made up 12.1 percent of the electorate, Hispanics 7.4 percent and Asians 2.5 percent.

For blacks, the voter turnout rate increased 4.9 percentage points from 2004, researcher said -- from 60.3 percent in 2004 to 65.2 percent in 2008.
