DAN QUAYLE
44TH VICE PRESIDENT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Letter to the Editor,
I know that the future will be better tomorrow because I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix. It’s time for the human race to enter the solar system, and even though I never actually said that I wish I’d studied Latin in school so I could converse with Latinos, I still stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.
You see, I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.
But, here’s the thing. This idea that Vermont needs a Latin motto is just un-American. If people really think that, they should just go back to their Latin country. I mean, I am sick and tired of that crap; they have their own countries. Vermont is thousands of miles from a Latino border and this makes sense WHY? If you’re like me, you hate having to press ‘1’ for English now. And why not an Irish or Italian motto for Vermont, since they built the quarries?
I mean this Republican state senator who introduced this thing? How do you say idiotic senator in Spanish? I’d settle for ‘deport illegals’ in Spanish as a backup motto. No, this is America and our language has been English from the beginning. We don’t need to change now for a few. Vermont is America not Latin. Do any Latin places have American mottos? Why not come up with a Vermont motto that is from us?
I say “Hell no,” make English the official everything. Maybe the motto should just say “Go back to where you came from.” It’s not like Vermont moved. It’s not Mexico or Latin America. They need to learn our language just like we’d have to learn Latin if we visited theirs?
No, I think a Muslim motto would be more appropriate. Are you kidding me? The next thing you know, they’ll say we have to have an Arabic one.
Why is this senator trying to make Americans into aliens? He should leave the country and take Obama with him to Kenya.
Sincerely,
Dan Quayle
