STUART, Fla. – A South Florida man who claims he's being evicted from his place of business because he speaks no Spanish – just English – has suddenly become the focus of national debates over illegal immigration and property rights.
Tom McKenna, owner of Seacoast Water Care is getting requests from media outlets across America to tell the story of how his landlord at the Ellendale Center wants him out of his office space by the end of the month, in order to "complete [his] vision of converting the center to quality tenants serving the Spanish need in the area."
"I guess I don't serve the 'Spanish need,' whatever that means," McKenna told the Stuart News in a story published Sunday. Since then, the saga has been prominently featured on websites including WND and the DrudgeReport, and now McKenna is making the rounds on the television-news circuit, both on Florida stations as well as national networks.
"That's just a kick in the face to me. Like, what am I? Just really been a bad tenant for like the last seven years?" McKenna told WPBF-TV, the ABC affiliate in West Palm Beach. "Because somebody comes in here and says, 'Hey, you know I like that corner store where that Seacoast Water is there, and now we have a full-service plaza serving the Spanish needs in here, we need to get him out of there."
McKenna's water-conditioning business shares the same building as a check-cashing store and a Mexican restaurant, both of which feature signs in Spanish.

We are in deep sh!t.
Up here in Dearborn Michigan and some other ‘burbs our billboards are in Arabic, same for the telephones and Army recruiting signs. It’s not a large leap to a point where only Arabic is spoken.
Followed shortly by Sharia law.

Language barriers pose drug risk
Half of America’s pharmacies are unable to communicate with non-English-speaking clients, putting patients at risk of potentially harmful medication errors, a study by the Univ. of Texas found. Among the pharmacies that responded to the survey, fewer than 30% of pharmacies could mostly or always communicate in a non-English language. There was a case of a child with iron-deficiency anemia who was hospitalized after her Spanish-speaking parents gave her an overdose of her medicine after misreading the prescription label.

I hope we can elect people that care about America in our next election.
The ones that care don’t get enough backing to win anything. The ones who pander saying just enough to be the lesser of two evils wins and we lose.
Don’t hold your breath! It doesn’t work that way, apparently.

We need more smart people. People that can see the idiocy of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. You can certainly understand why there so many millionaires in America, because, apparently they will “buy” anything.

The back-lash from this will be huge.A world of sh*t to follow.
So what is the problem?
I saw the story on maybe Glenn Beck. How low we’ve sunk.
Who owns the plaza and what are the terms of the lease? Behind all the buzz, the truth is in there.
