Political Correctness

Yeah Bazook! You be the man!

CJW, AMEN! Nothing like working hard all of your life to support those who CHOOSE not to and breed like rabbits because the Governments advocates for that. God forbid that YOU ever need anything because YOU will never qualify.

Mike and Kim, I am also less than PC and DARN PROUD OF IT! The truth hurts but at least I can sleep at night. Keep up the good works folks. It proves that there are still some smart ones out there. I was just about out of faith...

Happy Friday the 13th. I wonder what "horrors" this day will bring.

So in the interest of learning, what is it that is hidden because of being PC? Give some examples of what kind of things you would like to say that you can't now? Sentences, phrases, paragraphs or single words can be used, in your examples.

I just want to see what your really advocating for?

Is it free-speech or hate speech that you want?

Not all people on public assistance are worthless bums. Many are our disabled and seniors, who get medicare and medicaid and get free food at El Aida and some if they are eligible get food stamps....

Right on Bazooka. Call it the way you see it and to heck with being PC...it is always a big old waste of time. Make your point and make it quick...nobody likes a long line of BS!!!!

Oh jeez? I was trying to liven up the debate since things have been rather slow for you people lately. When the only people that respond are on the side of the main writer things get boring.

That's besides the point,

Cantjustwatch: Since you were the one who started the whole "these Texas crime numbers show that it's an ethnic group that has ruined the nation" then yeah you is a racist. I don't want to be PC and just call you a hater. Get to the nut of the thing,...and your kind are not that all "elusive" as you say.

And no I don't collect any public assistance. Sometimes I think I should just to **** people like you off. I'd be the guy with "I'm spending your money" painted on the side of my car. Just to rub it in your smug little face.

And in my first comment I didn't accuse anyone of being a racist. I asked what kind of speech they were advocating for in this whole PC, none PC, rigamaroo.

And "hate-speech" doesn't necessarily have to do with "race". But that is where you brought it, ain't it, cantjustwatch?

Hate can be, I hate the poor, I hate the rich, I hate the muslim, I hate the christian.

I guess I should have worded my original comment in a more "PC form" so people wouldn't take offense.

Censored:

Why worry about ticking people off or offending anyone? If you are true to who you are, that is really all that matters. Fight for what you believe in and to heck with what people think of you. Life is too short (and I am pretty sure that you do not lose any sleep over any of this anyway). Being PC is overated, a complete waste of time and only for people who kiss the lower cheeks to keep everyone "happy."

You (collective "you") can never make everybody happy. Why even bother to try?

Liven it up you did...this is way better than the BB has been since all of the "nice" people took over and decided they only wanted to post the good news of EC and hide the rest.

Do any of you stop and think and take a moment to think about who these people are who are on public assistance ??..........

There are people who are mentally challenged, have mental illness or who have low IQ's where it is almost impossible for them to get work, not to mention those that have physical disability's.

Being low income is not a glamorous lifestyle and those who do receive public assistance weather it's a food stamp card or free food and medical, do you really think they love their life living this way? NO they have poor self esteem!

They want to be proud just like everyone else.

When you see people up at Walmart using a food stamp card, buying soda, candy and ice cream do not judge. If they have children all I can say it must make those kids happy to get a treat like that !

Open up your hearts ! Don't be so close minded. Helping others is what makes all of us great individuals.

Maybe this Thanksgiving take in a homeless person to share your Thanksgiving meal.

Migrant workers as long as they are a citizen of this country I guess they can get food stamps also. That wad of money you think he has in his pocket might not be as much as you think it is and it might be his last pay day.... Never assume unless you know the facts !

Bazooka:

He's an American Born Terrorist, he's everything the right wants to be. But too chicken **** to try. He's anti-government, full on religion just like you and your rightist.

Cantjustwatch: I don't spin anything, I just put down what you really want to say. But are too scared to. Ya dirty parasite.

Boy, this not caring about peoples feelings is really fun, ain't it?

JY-D:

Your friggin hilarious, man. Where do you come up with that stuff? I'm just trying to take this blog in the direction it wants to go. And that means going head on, instead of talking in absurd circles and vagaries that only point out that your a nut.

The fact remains that the people who get off on this whole "I'm anti-PC" thing, are usually the ones who make statements like "black kids beating up white kids on school buses is running rampant in this country" or "the Mexicans are coming to America just to destroy it" so that they, the anti-PCer's, can spout off these ugly statements and beliefs, and make it seem like they're NOT racist.

And that's all there is to it.

But the talking in circles is working well for you. It looks like there is logic amongst the words but it ends up swallowing itself. Binge and purge style.

thanks kim,

......now lets bash some more poor folks shall we?

Loads of weight. I've recently taken to roping anvils to my boots so this bluster wind doesn't blow me away.

blustery! Dang, I messed that one up.

See the problem here is that you people take all the issues of the day and turn them into high drama. And not the artsy drama, I'm talking irrational teenage drama.

And the Founding fathers were not right-wing extremist, they were considered more on the terms of progressives considering what they did. The right-wing at the time was the King and his controlling ways.

Freedom of religion wasn't just about Christianity. Otherwise it would have said Freedom of Christianity and all other religions be damned!

Crikey! Imagine if you will, a nation where everybody goes around saying whatever they want about anyone and anything, without thought of peoples individual feelings and ideas. This kind of behavior would cause a deeper separation between the people, and these strict divisions would destroy America faster then any world shadow government.

We'd be left with a gang-land of differing factions, moving from one town to the next in a constant warring state. Pillage and plunder, civilisation destroyed because we couldn't be civil.

It would be akin to what is going on in the Middle East, minus the foreign armies.

Seems to me this is what you people want.

I mean the Rightist and their corporate sponsored rebellion. Or rather extremists and it's media mentors.

Here's what the Rightist aren't talking about. Federal courts have tried and convicted 195 terrorists - international and domestic - on U.S. soil since 2001, the bulk during the Bush/Cheney Administration. Yet there was silence from the right wing. There were no complaints. But the minute President Obama tries to work towards closing Guantanamo Bay by putting some of the prison's most notorious inmates on trial there are attacks and condemnation. Why? Because of politics - pure and simple.

This is far from the end of right-wing hypocrisy and distortions. Defense Secretary Bob Gates said it perfectly months ago. "The truth is, there's a lot of fear-mongering about this ... We've never had an escape from a Supermax prison, and that's where these guys will go."

As most people who have read what I write, I may have views that are not in line with their beliefs, but I am almost always polite and thoughtful with my words. I am usually kind and polite to everyone I meet. I have been known to be forgiving and compassionate to those that others view as unredeemable. I don't call people rude names nor do I attack people for their beliefs. I react out of anger sometimes, just like others because I am human. However, I have always tried to be kind. Do I do this in order to be politically correct? Of course not. There is no need for PC when common courtesy and manners are used. I wrote this blog to make a point and others have responded in just the manner that I thought they would.

PC was started in order to be kinder to others. And like so many things that start with good intentions, it is taken to the farside and becomes an anchor around the neck. PC shouldn't cause common sense to die. If someone is acting like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then common sense demands that we call it a DUCK. Instead, out of fear of being called intolerant or racist or a hater, people refrained from exposing the duck. They ignored it when he waddles around quacking and though the duck gave every indication that he intended to attack and fly like a duck, nobody could say a word for PC had won over common sense. PC was the victor when a disturbed obvious duck killed innocent people to prove that he was indeed a duck.

I apologize profoundly to all the beautiful ducks of the bird-kind for using their name in this example. I don't think that ducks are evil or bad, so forgive me. I love ducks and really like the Aflac Duck. Sooooo ASPCA, please don't call!

This passive aggressive message is sponsored by Fox. In association with Halliburton and Nike.

I guess that there are times and places to be PC but usually I find it cowardly. Yes, it might stir up emotions but those who take offense and rock the boat usually have nothing better to do anyways.

1st amendment gives everyone the right to be ignorant as well as not-so-ignorant. Better to let idiots vent than having them stir up revolutions that have no value.

there will always be a fine line between blabbering and starting a riot. I support 1st amendment rights for criminals because in the end they usually do themselves in with their mouth or their loved ones do. Forensics is fine but for those who have been in the business that stuff takes forever. Cases are solved usually by catching people in their maze of twisted but wrong logic.

Threats are made every day,every hour, every minute. You get the point. For a few cops to answer and investigate every threat would be impossible.

CNN is a biased media source just like everyone else. Everything is subjective. Your blue is my turquoise and so on. CNN is the front runner and so acts accordingly. Their competition lacks in reputation (for better or for worse) and resources. Fox is the runner-up and so has to diversify their package. It is basic game theory or competition.
