I would say that, what they say is probably "understood" by "most"
Americans. However, not "most" and certainly not "all" Americans
subscribe to their narrow minded, conservative, right wing platform.
Furthermore, this organization, and their platform, is not relevant.
They own their agenda and it will only influence your thinking and the
basis for your platform, if you embrace it yourself and allow it to
consume your thinking.
I'm just encouraging a more open-minded observation of the subject
matter. We are certainly a country with our fair share of problems
and we have some leaders who, perhaps, should not be there. The
voters will make all of those decisions and it is almost always the
right decision when the dust settles.
America and Americans, in total, or in majority, bear no resemblance to
the ideals expressed by http://newamericancentury.org So, it is not
relevant to anything - unless you want to push their agenda -- in that
case, I just don't understand your motive or your thinking.
This started off with a difference about which language was acceptable
for communication. I speak English, but not French, Spanish or
German. If I'm interested in the post, I can always go to a free
translation service and get the general idea of the idea presented. I
don't see it as a big deal. English is best for me, but far be it for
me to jam it down anyone's throat. If you want to make it easy on me,
than easy would be to speak in English. That's the truth.
There are far more important things to discuss than this, aren't
there? Can we move on to them, now?
Thanks,
