This is a long one but PLEASE read it all.
Where do I start???!!!! I was at a breakfast meeting with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in San Diego (support them now more than ever). Linda Caballero-Merrit the President and CEO of the Chamber was nice enough to invite me IN SPANISH Mr. Gingrich (ok I’m about to loose it right now)! Ms. Caballero mentioned a comment that Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich mentioned yesterday in a press conference. I was taken back a little, but when I saw the video, I have to be honest my blood boiled. What’s the comment? That we should NOT teach bilingual education and replace it with immersion so we can teach the “language of prosperity” and not the “language of living in a ghetto”. See it for yourself. I would say it’s a publicity stunt, but I’ve heard him speak before and this is the real thing. He’s really that ignorant. Can you believe that? No wonder there’s a Jihad against us, becuase of pompous idiots like this.

First of all, Spanish is not Ghetto, this is ghetto: “Q-vo, que onda carnal, you heard what that vato said about la Raza? Simon ese, go tell all the vatos in your canton, your morritos, tu vieja, y tus jefes… so they can kick is ass ey.” (if someone can do a good Puerto Rican, Cuban, or other I’d really appreciate it but don’t curse).

Second, English is simply a communication tool and it doesn’t matter what you use, if you want to communicate in Chinese, Spanish, French, or “Ghetto” what matters is WHAT you communicate and HOW you communicate it. The HOW part is something my little boy will have to teach this Gringo.

Third, I agree that English is the language of Business and that we in the U.S. should learn to speak it properly. But only while conducting business. Please! Don’t talk like Newt Gingrich to your kids or friends! You don’t insult people to get them to speak English, that’s bad business and is against the idea of speaking English in the first place.

Fourth, If the U.S. was to loose its status as the World Super Power…, I know this idea seems impossible to some, but it seemed impossible to the Romans, and Egypt, and Persia, and… My point being, we will be speaking another language. So don’t go forcing your ideologies into peoples throats. As you see others now, they shall see you.

Fifth, he’s so narrow minded that he forgets that bilingual education is not just just for internal communication, but for prosperity through our business with other countries. I’m trying to get my kids to learn more languages. I wish there was tri-lingual or more! Many countries are superior in this respect and frankly we should be ashamed. We should come out of school knowing three to four languages, not one.

Sixth and final (ya me canse), how about being faithful to your wife! How ghetto is that.Ghetto should be defined by your actions not the way you speak. So far Mr. Gingrich, you don’t want our kids to learn more languages to enhance their education (like a looser), you insult others to do what you say (like a “trailer trash” in English), you speak ideas that don’t make sense (like a marijuano and my uncle Gilbert (RIP buddy)), you cheated on your wife (like a punk), and lie like a pimp. He knows the language of “prosperity” but not the language of Love (Spanish). So far Gingrich your the most ghetto of them all!

ps - A toda la raza, no dejen de hablar español. Si no le gusta nuestro dinero no lo soporten! Nunca permitamos que una persona que nos insulte de tal mannera suba a poder.

See this Gingriched getting punked by Ali G (in english, lol), that’s how much he knows the ghetto. He can’t even spot a fake.

    Newt Gingro-ich is a CAB… EZON por no decir otra cosa. If he had half the class, dignity and honor of any “GHETTO” latino he would have put a little thought into what he was saying. Saying that someone who holds onto their language and culture is GHETTO is absurd. Just because someone speaks with an accent or mannerisms doesn’t make them ghetto. How boring life would be if we all lived in Newts imaginary country we would all be the same. I am proud not to be the same as everyone else, and although I live in this country I am first and foremost a Latino down to the core. If language is what makes someone Ghetto then all the people with a Boston accent or Texas twang are they all GHETTO as well? Should they not be immersed in education and taught the language of prosperity? I don’t know about you guys but if I am to be labeled GHETTO then pass me the Arroz con gandules and unos pastelitos and I will wear my GHETTO-ness with pride.

    I gotta thow it all the way back take a shot of Mezcal and do a rain dance to shake the bad spirits. Better yet, lets take him to the top of Tenochtitlan and see if his heart is any good. It’s a joke, it’s a joke. I love everyone. Sorry
