My freeper brother-in-law sent me this. The actor is supposed to be Thomas Paine, and he rails against people who come to America and don't learn the language (spare your brain cells. The video really isn't worth watching).
Here's the response I sent my brother-in-law.
"It's interesting that they use Thomas Paine as the character for this speech. He was an immigrant, and he fought against his own country. To Americans he was a hero, but to his own country he was a traitor. He also lived in France for several years, and didn't bother to learn the French language -- exactly the attitude that the video rails against. Poor choice for this particular speech."
