Quote: Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum said Wednesday that Puerto Rico should only gain statehood if the territory makes English its main language.
In an interview with a San Juan newspaper, El Vocero, Santorum said English would have to be the “main language” if Puerto Rico were to become a state.
“As in any other state, you have to comply with this and any federal law. And that is that English has to be the main language,” Santorum told the paper. “There are other states with more than one language as is the case in Hawaii, but to be a state in the United States, English has to be the main language.”
There is no federal law designating English as the country’s official language, although some states and local governments have adopted such “English only” laws.
Article IV, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution spells out how states can be admitted to the union, making no mention of language requirements. The passage states: "New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress."

I think he's trying to gain more far right votes in the US than what he'd get there by saying this.

This guy is hinestly one of the biggest prudes I've ever seen. He is an idiot. I long for the day when sex is left to individuals and not politicians. Its not even a discussion. Sex is turned into lies and myths. What a way to ruin the fun.

The largest amount of sales for porn comes from the red states, especially states like Utah and Idaho. Good way to kill your presidential run.

Sanitorium has become the new voice of the lunatic fringe. He almost makes Rush Limbaugh seem rational. Can you imagine the people who attend his rallies? *shiver* think I just creeped myself out a little.

If we had our financial priorities a bit more in order, we could easily add them and it would only benefit the country. But yeah, it's dumb to even bring it up but someone always does every now and then.
