A story came across a few years ago about a Restaurant Owner putting up a sign that said basically, if your going to order, order in English. Well as you can guess this wasn't Politically Correct for some, so there was some backlash. Well guess who got involved in it. If you said "The Gov'ment" then your right, sorry you don't win a prize for being right on this one.
Well today there is another story about this. The Commission on Human Relations in Philly actually wasted tax payer money to see if it was legal for the shop owner to put this sign up this sign in his store. I know, its another sign of Government intrusion into the fabric of America. However they came back in a 2 - 1 decision that the store owner , one Joe Vento - owner of Geno's Steaks (by the way if your ever in Philly, patronize this restaurant, we need to support people to have the guts to stand for what they believe) did not do anything illegal. However, government officials being as they are, "Commissioner Joseph J. Centeno said he thought the signs did discourage some customers".
Now heres where i'm going to rant. You know what, it is his right. Its his right to say and do as he sees fit. It is a private business, what right does government have to tell someone how to run their business. As long as he does not discriminate against others. In this instance he wasn't. The only thing that would happen here is, he Might lose customers that don't speak English. HE'S THE OWNER, if he doesn't mind losing customers because of this, ITS HIS DECISION.
Secondly, if you are coming to this country to live, learn the language. If i go to Germany to live, do i have the right to demand that they know my language, No - Hell NO! If i move there it is my decision to learn to speak the native language to communicate. We are the only country that allow a non-native speaking people come into our country (some illegally - oops its not PC to say that, oh well, sue me) and dictate to us which languages we need to speak. This doesn't even remotely make sense. If this is the case, we better start learning every langauge (past and present) spoken so that we can make it easier for every Tom, Dick, and Harry (or in this case Juan, Pierre, and Fritz) to communicate with us, when it was THEIR DECISION to come here. Last time i checked, we didn't send out personal invitations to come here.
Anyway, the people have won one for the record books.
VIVA LIBERTY!
