"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I saw that on a Whataburger window in Arlington. Maybe it's a corporate thing with Whataburger.

LOL. As I was reading that, my first thought was, "When did Bush start using big words?"

Ditto. I was thinking " if he did in fact say 'predicated', he read it off the teleprompter VERY SLOWLY.

So sad that we should read what a president said, and think "no way in hell W pulled that off!"

LMAO!!! I was reading that thinking, Bush must have rehearsed this a few times because there is no way in Mexico that he just let all of those words come off of his tongue.
