Damas y caballeros, ya tenemos fecha para nuestro retorno al blogueo: Sábado 30 de junio recuperamos nuestra habitual andadura, aunque no así nuestra emisión en Skypecasts, por problemas técnicos, mayormente.
En todo caso, quiero anunciar un par de añadidos a los enlaces, dos blogs de derechas (muy de derechas, jeje), el primero con más temática de actualidad, y el otro con más religiosa, pero ambos igualmente válidos.
Mi Catapulta
y Núcleo de Lealtad
que espero disfruten hasta nuestro retorno.
Un saludo atento,
Miguel Vinuesa

Ladies & gents, we finally have a date to return to active blogging: Saturday June 30th, when we'll recover our regular pace, even if not our Skypecast show, due to technical reasons, mostly.
Anyway, I'm pleased to announce two add-ons to the links section, two right-wing blogs (VERY, right-wing, lol), first of them with a more 'news-on' approach, and the second one dedicated to religious matters, but both quite worth it.
Mi Catapulta
& Núcleo de Lealtad (both in Spanish)
Hope you enjoy them, until our return.
Kind salutations,
Miguel Vinuesa

Muchas gracias, para es un honor que recomiendes mi blog, un verdadero honor viniendo de ti, Miguel.
Un abrazo
P.D: Esperamos ansiosos tu vuelta
Buf! Ni lo menciones, hombre, que era lo mínimo que podía haber hecho después de tu post!
hurry back mi hermano! Love your shows and your blog!
Alfredo, te dejo aquí un texto importante, una respuesta que envié a Joseph V. Cristiano, un host en Blogtalkradio que propone una enmienda en la Constitución Americana para imponer el Inglés como lengua oficial...
Relajate y disfruta :p
Re: English As the Official Language: A Constitutional Amendment
Howdy, Joe!
Since I won't be able to make it to your show (I'm in Europe and it
airs too late for me, I'll reckon), I wanted to make my points against
a Constitutional Amendment for English.
First of all let me expose that I'm Spanish, not American, even if I
feel quite close in spirit to your country. That said, you'll
logically think that my mother language isn't English, yet I struggle
to be as fluent in it as possible.
English grants you something that Spanish achieves only in its
traditional territories of influence (Spain, the whole Latin America
and some parts of Western Africa): To understand and be understood, in
other words, those who speak English have the ways of understanding
someone from a totally different culture, if he speaks English as well,
which is likely, these days.
Yes, it's the international language of business and has replaced
French or German over the years as a prestigious language to speak, and
what's best, English people had nothing to do with that, not even by
their former Empire, where English does not overrule local languages.
In the United States we have seen a social phenomenon unseen before in
Europe: people from many parts of the world ended up in New York and
the whole American land and let their home tongues go in order to
assimilate English as their mother language.
Where does the problem stands, then, when can English be threaten? In
the most recent wave of immigration: latins.
Some latins have just decided they can live pretty well without even
learing English, as most Florida Cubans might do, or some Mexicans in
the California area. In some states they have even stated Spanish as a
second co-official language, as they have become a 'Lobby' to be taken
seriously.
It amazes me that President Bush has turned to them in Spanish during
the last elections, but it's a clear sign of what the latin immigrants
and their elevated birth rates are doing: they are rejuvenating America
and they are becoming the 1st minority, if they're not already.
Against that, there's reactions of worry. I understand Governor
Schwartzenegger had a difficult time learning to speak... Then learning
English by himself, but what is laughable is that a politician so close
to the Dems in spirit says to the latin people of California "watch TV
in English!". I recently watch a video in Youtube treating this issue:
A cuban-born youtuber picked up his TV watching a show in Spanish.
Sorry, but he's pretty free to do that. And no govenor has the right of
telling people what to watch on TV.
I think whoever party that issues a bill in Congress on a pro-English
oficcial language will be doing so on purpose to harm Spanish. And I'd
think the same if the bill was a pro-Spanish language. America must
look deep into its heart, and stick to its greatest traditions:
freedom.
Languages, in the end, are just the way we communicate, we understand
each other. As long as we can do it in English, so be it, but what
would be wrong if we all understood each other in Spanish too?
There is close to 200 million Spanish-speaking persons in the world. Of
course, with regional enrichments, accents, and all, and so happens in
English. Let us not miss this opportunity of expanding an ideal of true
freedom, and the American values in general, just because we wanted to
isolate ourselves into English.
We would be closing the door to the real plausible future of American
society.
Thank you very much,
Miguel Vinuesa
