(Heavy Sigh)
Okay, a friend sent me this over the weekend with a note that maybe we should, indeed, make English the national language. It would certainly solve the pesky problems caused by racists with cardboard.
Yeah, well, I kinda do agree that ill eagles should not be given citizenship.
You know, it’s kinda like the scrabble tiles all fell into the middle of the board – most all the letters are there but they don’t spell much.
Thanks to Sharon for the picture.

2Ultimate dis: Hispanic American citizen walks up and spell checks…
3Save the ill eagles.
Seriously, am I the only one who thinks it is probably this picture is a troll? There can’t be anyone that dumb. Get a brain morans.
4You can’t embarrass these folks. They don’t know enough to actually be ashamed of themselves.
5She was lucky to be born here , she would never pass a citizenship test. Heck, she cannot even pass a fourth grade spelling test. Sorry for that, hell no I am not. I have tried a sample citizen test once, I did not get 100% right. I am embarrassed to say not even close.
6No wonder Europe, NK and Russia have such a low opinion of Americans.
7Hmmm….Is illiteracy a disease?
8My favorite badly spelled sign was the one during the Obamacare fuss.
9This wild-eyed woman was waving a sign “No Pubic Option”
Maymoon, re the citizenship test, I have begun tutoring ESL in Juneau. One day of the three every week is devoted to citizenship training in preparation for the test. I was embarrassed at how ignorant I am. I pointed out to a Somalian student that because I was born in the U.S. I didn’t have to learn this, and I was getting as much of an education as she was.
10@ Maymoom – The sad thing is, is that the lady is the photo has forgotten that she, too, descended from immigrants as it is with most people here in the US.
I know from the history of my own Irish descendants, that they took the most dangerous, filthy jobs (shoveling horse manure from city streets, slaughterhouses, fuse drillers) that paid little when they arrived. They too, were scorned by most. I’m sure that most of our descendants experienced this.
11Just looks like another poorly spelled Trump tweet to me. If the Cheeto-in-Chief can get away with it, y not her?
12@Lynne Stevens – Most of the history I have learned has been acquired by self-study as an adult. It’s sad that our schools teach only a smattering of history and civics to students.
13My favorite goofy sign was a person protesting against teachers:
14Save are schools.
There’s an untapped market waiting for the inventor of auto-correct for cardboard.

Try compiling a few of Trump’s worst Tweets. It’s pretty close.
16Racist=st00pid, this is proof!
17She managed to spell “children” and “diseases” correctly, though both of those are on one sign that she may have had help with.
I know how literacy tests for voting were used by racists to keep blacks from voting, but I swear I’d love to see some kind of basic my-head-is-not-up-my-ass test before voting. A lot of horrible choices (Louie, for one) would have been prevented.
18Looks like she put an “O” in diseases.
This is going in the file, but my all-time favorite is still RESPECT ARE COUNTRY SPEAK ENGLISH.
19Typical right-wing Trump voter: older, white and dumb as a box of rocks. Probably a big ‘ole Christian, too, except she’s never read the Bible herself.
Seriously, people like this have nothing going for them except the color of their skin, and that’s what makes them feel superior to those who don’t.
20Dubya: “Is Our Children Learning?” … maybe some of them, George … but their parents, not so much.
Teachers and retired teachers how can we teach concepts to a woman like that? Even a simple concept such as “people are NOT illegal.” Especially when they arrive seeking asylum which is a legal process sanctioned by both our laws and international laws.
21Pity that Faux News fills these people’s heads with bovine-derived organic fertilizer. Folks that get jobs using fake IDs pay into Social Security, but can’t collect it. They pay sales taxes, etc. as well. But then, this person doesn’t look as though facts or rational discussions are in the cards.
22Spelling mistakes are really a bipartisan flaw. Why I’ve even seen some of our progressives misusing there, their and they’re.
23But if one is going to commit pen to cardboard, one should enlist a decent proof reader. Perhaps there wasn’t one available in their town. Given this example, I’d say they’re going to need one.
Not to mention a professional avianist for those poor eagles.
Being white is neither an accomplishment nor a choice. It is, unfortunately, the only thing some folks have to be proud of.
24maryelle, spelling mistakes may be bipartisan, and maybe I’m seeing a biased selection of signs, but the misspelled ones have been overwhelmingly not Obama or pro-science voters.
My personal favorite is still “Obama is AntChrist.”
25And the important news- her vote cancels out mine.
26But if I don’t vote- her view prevails.
pretty basic math.
Yeah, she flunked kindergarten.
27@EastTxDem
28She doesn’t need to ‘read’ the bible, she can listen to a modernized language version. By modernized I mean using very short words and losing the KJV. In pioneer days many children learned to read using the only book many families had, their bible and the language skills were better for it.
