Laura Ingraham: English is “in decline” because of Mexican “jingoism”

When right-wing pundit Laura Ingraham says she opposes comprehensive immigration reform, she means it. As the Huffington Post’s Jared Gilmour once put it, Ingraham is on something of an anti-reform “crusade.

SNIP

Speaking on her radio show on Thursday, Ingraham registered her agreement when a caller said immigrants “have learned to game the system.” But when the caller went on to complain that she couldn’t go into parts of Colorado (presumably her home state) because she doesn’t speak Spanish, Ingraham took it a step further.

“No, your language is gone,” Ingraham told the caller. “Your language — in fact, your language is not only in decline, the English language, Chris; it’s actually a sign of jingoism.”

If you’re baffled by Ingraham’s contention that a (nonexistent) decline in English is a sign of “jingoism,” allow her to explain:

Because, remember, the La Raza is all about — the movement underneath La Raza, which … translates as “The Race” is: This is our land. You took our land. We’re coming to take it back.

That’s what the fanatics really think … And Nancy Pelosi and La Raza are licking their chops about this immigration reform.
