Locking Up Latinos

Liberal blogger Mad Kane has a jingle knocking Newt Gingrich for a Spanish-language outreach to Hispanics:http://www.madkane.com/madness/2009/09/29/gingrich-bilingualism/. Apparently such outreach is hypocritical because Gingrich has opposed bilingual education, but, of course, Mad Kane is also hypocritical as well as cute-sy because there is a difference between not learning English in a bilingual classroom and being bilingual. This is a distinction that wasn't lost to Hispanic parents who in 1998 joined the vote dumping the "bilingual" education in California that left many of their children speaking Spanish only. There's no doubt being bilingual is a big plus on anyone's resume, but not knowing English in the U.S. remains a dead weight to advancement.

But of course, according to liberal cant Newt should realize Hispanics are the property of the Democrat Party and confine Republican recruitment to WASPs...while Latinos remain locked in the Democrat ghetto against their better economic interests.
