It’s an Obama world. The Obama EEOC is suing a private American company for firing a group of Hispanic and Asian employees for their inability to speak English at work. CNS News reported:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency tasked with enforcing workplace discrimination laws, is suing a private American business for firing a group of Hispanic and Asian employees over their inability to speak English at work, claiming that the English-language requirement in a U.S. business constitutes “discrimination.”

Judicial Watch reported Tuesday that the government is accusing Wisconsin Plastics, Inc. of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on “national origin.” The government argues this includes the “linguistic characteristics of a national origin group.”

Irene Garcia, the blog editor and Spanish media liaison for Judicial Watch, called the EEOC’s accusation “ludicrous.”

“That’s ludicrous and an overreaching of government,” Garcia told CNSNews.com. “If you are a private company in the United States, you should be able to require your employees to speak English.”

According to a news release from the EEOC, Chicago Regional Attorney John C. Hendrickson said the Green Bay-based company’s English requirement is based on “superficial” reasoning.

But those conservatives (me included) who sat out the 2012 general election, well, we are partly to blame for all of this.

If Romney had been elected we would have exactly the same result as if Obama had been elected.

It would have come a little later but as sure as the sun rises in the morning, Romney and his “go along to get along” corporate butt kissers would have been wimpy enough to let the Democrats do anything they wanted....just like they do now.

Never forget: The REPUBLICANS ALLOWED all of this to happen and are still doing it now!

We are going on 6 years of complete lawless rule and all that they have done is make a lot of noise and threats. So far...................NOTHING HAS ACTUALLY BEEN DONE!

So, don’t blame yourself for a wasted vote is a wasted vote and the sad fact is there was no one to vote for.

This goes to show how infantile this administration is. How do you work with somebody who cannot speak and understand english?

The Asians were Hmong, at least with the Mexicans there were a few common words, but how the heck is an American to be expected to communicate with Hmong?

This government is officially insane.

[Gunpowder green]

Maybe the EOEC will now require all Americans to learn Hmong!

Don’t worry about it. They’re no doubt working on it NOW.

“Indeed, real physical danger on many job sites can result from language misunderstandings and employees can be maimed or even kill if instructions are misunderstood.”

Just to repeat part of your opinion. Well said, all of it.

“Romney would have been a good President but was a terrible candidate”

I don’t know if Romney would have been a good President, but I DO KNOW that Reince Priebus, Republican chairman was responsible for selecting Romney. Get rid of Reince Priebus. There is no way I believe there wasn’t and still isn’t a better candidate than Romney.

The FAA requires you to speak English to fly an aircraft in the USA. In fact, English is used in all commercial aviation world wide. Do you want your pilot to not understand vectors, clearances, warnings etc. Perhaps he would get to fly Air Force One.
