Just saw this. Yes I do believe English has no official standing because the United States of America doesn't have an official language. However I will acknowledge that English is the de facto national language of the United states and that I think it is a good idea for people to learn it. But forcing people to learn a language with no official standing just to become a citizen makes no sense to me.

Honestly, I think he is right about the existence of parties. However I do think they are formed more by politicians, especially on the Hill, then the people. Lets be perfectly honest, how many average joes support the whole platform of their party? But parties are a good way for individuals with similar goals in the legislative to get things done.
