Geno’s Emerges From Star Chamber Unharmed
J.J. Jackson* | March 29, 2008
The prosecution of Joe Vento, proprietor of Geno’s Steaks in Philly, is apparently over. The Star Chamber failed to get the best of him over a controversy that began when he dared to post a sign in his window stating “THIS IS AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH.”
Well, that just pissed off assorted liberals like pro-illegal alien activists and your typical nebby do-gooders who felt something needed to be done about this.
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) — A Philadelphia agency has ruled that English-only signs at a famous cheese steak shop are not discriminatory.The Commission on Human Relations says in its Wednesday ruling that the signs at Geno’s Steaks do not violate the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance.
Once again we have clear evidence that when you stand up to liberals you can, and often will, beat them. Mr. Vento refused to back down on the issue and now the hand wringing by the left can continue as they wonder how he could be so insensitive!
Of course the question is obvious. That question is, if you can’t speak English how could you order from the menu? Would Geno’s be required to provide menus in every language on the face of the planet as well as a translator for each language as well to avoid ever possibly discriminating against someone, somewhere that couldn’t speak English? And do you have any idea how insanely expensive that would be if you think he should?
Let’s go over this one more time. Geno’s is a PRIVATE business. They can refuse to serve anyone they want for whatever reason they want. And people can chose not to go there if they don’t like his policies. It’s called liberty. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
