Steve King Is At It Again
February 18th, 2007 at 08:11am Geraldine
Although there’s already been one post this week about Steve King being the lead sponsor of the pro-escalation resolution in Congress, it seemed worth mentioning that King is also back beating the English-only drum. King believes that non-English speakers “undermine our cultural continuity.” He has good reason to be concerned. Iowa is a hotbed for one particular foreign language that is destroying American society. Yes, that’s right Iowa has the highest per capita rate of Luxembourgish. It’s good to that Steve King is making sure that these Luxembourger-Americans will fully integrate into American society.

Much to be admired is the way people from Luxembourg have integrated into the Iowa culture. It was too bad that Iowa maps listed St. Donatus or Tetes des Morts as a picturesque French village for years. People from Luxembourg come to visit the town. Pete Frank of Bellevue and others wrote what some say is the first English-Luxembourg dictionary and the language is promoted. But it’s all done within the context of integration. Belgium is a lot like Holland, but has two languages and terrible problems over the years by comparison. Canada is a lot like Australia, but has two languages and terrible problems over the years. Europeans now admit they were wrong to promote a relativistic form of multiculturalism; they say that the American system of integration and making some demands regarding civics and language is the way to go; and England is beginning to do so. It would be stupid for the U.S. to drift away from what works. It would be better to intensify the effort in the direction that has worked so well in the past.
