The 'order in English' story from South Philly's own Geno's Steaks has brought out the best of the left, as one might expect. This is like one of those cases where, oh, say Hillary Clinton would yell and screech that Joey Vento has every right to state his mind on whatever he so pleases! It is his first amendment right! (My ears are ringing from just typing that.)
There is no mention of defending such rights in this editorial yesterday. Quite the contrary. Joey Vento becomes the author of 'boneheadded policies.' It presents an opportunity to negate his right to run his business the way he wants, and to mock his belief and pride in America for saying what everyone knows, that English is and always has been the language of this country.
Tell you what Inquirer, I won't tell you how to run your paper, and don't you portend to tell Joey Vento how to run his cheesesteak shop.
Then there's this ditty from the fringe left, The Huffington Post, Ariana Huffington's blog. Things like:
'Could I have some bigot with that sandwitch, please?' from- belldaere, 06.03.2006
'Every Italian-American kid I knew when I was growing up had a grandparent living in America who didn't speak English. This guy should go fuck himself.' from- MoeLarryAndJesus, 06.03.2006
It doesn't stop at name-calling:
'It would be SO RUDE to call Geno's at 215-389-0659 and order "dos emparedados del filete con queso". So don't do that.' from- Maezeppa, 06.03.2006 This is a good example of how the left deals with people they don't agree with. No matter what the topic. And whether they are in Congress or on Huffington's blog, there's no difference.
