If You Want to Live in Alabama, You Had Better Learn English

Well here’s a political commercial the politically correct won’t like. Of course, since we’re not at all politically correct around here, we love this new ad for Tim James who’s running for Governor in Alabama…where, as James makes very clear, English is the spoken language.

James wants the state’s driver’s license exams to be administered only in English. Currently, the test is given in 12 languages and James claims that’s just too costly. If elected, he’d give the test only in English.

The best (most contentious to some) line in the ad? “This is Alabama. We speak English. If you want to live here, learn it.”

This is not going to get this man elected. Oh wait. Yes it will. This is Alabama. We’re rednecks. If you want to live here, ditch your ethnic ways and become an American like the rest of us.
