Well folks, it’s happened. Stupidity has prevailed again, this time in New York City.

The cab drivers there don’t have to learn English. That’s right, you heard me right and read it correctly.

The cab drivers in New York City don’t have to learn English. I had to repeat this because it is so stupid. A cab driver who picks you up, how the hell is he or she going to communicate with the passengers of his cab? I know, with sign language. And maybe pictures.

What insanity is this and who is going to continue to take a cab when the driver doesn’t have to learn our language? That’s right, I said our language. Without learning English, how do those lawmakers expect to communicate and how do these idiots who passed this law expect others from the every day world to communicate with anyone? That also goes in the workplace as well.

What a mess this will bring to the city of New York residents. I don’t think those idiots who passed this law take the cab. They probably have their own transportation like chauffeurs, in their limos, so what do they care? This is just another liberal stupid act that this country has endured for over seven years. It’s called political correctness. November can’t get here fast enough. We need change.

Between scandals and trillions in debt, change can’t be fast enough. Just when we have heard it all, something stupid like this pops up again. God bless the common sense people who are left in this country.

Our country is rigged for the powerful. The rest of us are forgotten. Also, why doesn’t the political candidate for our highest office wear the American flag on her lapel? Unbelievable.
