I can’t believe this is an issue in this country. I thought we had a thing here called the constitution. It must have vanished while I was away defending it.

I thought the line was longer at Pats because the subs are better. Now I find out the line is full of latino that can’t “peeke engliee”.

How generous of our government to allow him to post a sign at his own business.
The day will come (when minorities are the majority) that the government will mandate that he speak another lanuage in order to have a business license.

Chalk up a victory for the US Citizenry, and a defeat for the illegal scum invaders from down south.

I have heard many times, this is one of the best restaurants in the U.S. This simply confirms it!
