What phrases using the word "Spanish" must now be changed?
Spanish Fly?
Spanish Rice?
Spanish Moss?
Spanish Armada?
Spanish America?

Will my English springer "spaniel" be safe from name changes?

How about Polish?

Polish Sausage?
Furnisture Polish? (sorry, I had to)

Any suggestions for their replacements?

1. You now own a springer Freedom.
Edited on Mon Apr-19-04 09:26 PM by Ohio Dem
And if you don't like it, you're not a good Merikan.

2. Freedom Harlem
Freedom onions
Freedom peanuts

...and of course...

The Freedom Inquisition!!

The Inquisition, what a show,
The Inquisition, here we go,
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away,
But the Inquisition's here, and it's here to stay!

3. Some great ones!
Thanks

I'm thinking Special Forces Fly for Spanish Fly...
How about The Saddam Inquisition? and of course , at every Mexican restraunt in America, Condi Rice on the side.

5. "Blue Spanish Eyes" will now be referred to as "Blue Liberty Eyes"
And history textbooks will be altered to include the terms "The War of Liberty Succession," "The Liberty-American War," and "The Liberty Civil War."

6. Freedom Fly! Or, better yet, replace "freedom" with "horny"
Now that's hip, and accurate for most of them too! :D

8. Well, sort of...if you follow the Bushco premise that...
...if you ain't with us you're against us, and Spain is pulling troops out of Iraq. Actually, it's probably one more reason for W to be angry at Tenant; If he could't fix one simple Spanish election, how can he call himself a "Company" man?

9. Spain and Poland both are leaving the "Coalition of the Unwilling"
therefore they are the enemies of freedom and righteousness.

16. Yeah, i forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.
You're absolutely right that the kind of morans who would wage these kind of moronic witch hunts against perceived "enemies of America" don't bother to make distinctions when looking for random targets.

Last year, when France was on the wingnuts' shit list for not participating in the invasion, someone actually vandalized a dry-cleaning business in Fresno, California, not because the owner was French (actually, he was Lebanese), but because the business was named "French Cleaners."

And let's not forget the post-9/11 hate crimes against not just Arabs or Indians but anyone and everyone who could even remotely be mistaken for Arabs, including Italians, Brazilians and Hispanics.

17. Don't hold your breath


Berlusconi is a certifiable Fascist. Not the penny-ante kind of Fascist you'd find in the Bush Administration. Noooooo. He wanted to take the negative references to il Duce and Fascism out of Italian school kids history books. Didn’t think it was right to teach the children to judge Fascism unkindly.
