Politically Correct?



That’s right. You, me, and everyone else in the greatest country in the world has to start, if your not doing it already, being “POLITICALLY CORRECT”. Ok, I don’t know about you, but I for one am not really sure what the heck being politically correct really is. First of all, there are not very many things in politics any more as far as I can see, that are correct. Things that used to be very American are falling by the wayside in politics everyday. Republican, or Democrat, Tea Party, or Independent,  there is more party politics, more bashing, more hooray for us, the heck with the rest of you, in congress than I’ve ever seen. American politics isn’t about America any more, its more about which party can do more damage to the other party so they can help their cronies and themselves make money, all the while doing it on the backs of the American People. Disgusting! 

Sorry I got off tract there. I am sure that is not what “POLITICALLY CORRECT” terminology everyone is using means. I believe they, whoever they are, want us to watch what we say. For instance, we cannot say anything in a derogatory manner, whether it is jokingly, or otherwise, that might offend someone about their nationality, race, sex, religion, sexual preference, political preference, (unless your're in politics) color of their hair, the way they dress, the way they talk, walk, eat, sleep, shop, and any other activity you would like to add. Just look at all of the celebrities that have been ruined recently, for making comments that offended people. How about the Washington Redskins, or Cleveland Indians, being pressured to change their logos? The logo didn't seem to bother anyone 15, 20, or even 30 years ago. Seriously! Have we become a nation of people so thin skinned, that we have to watch every little word out of our mouths, jokingly or otherwise, for fear that something we said may just hurt someone’s feelings? I suppose the great Don Rickles, comedian extraordinaire, should be flogged for the words that come out of his mouth. Could they, whoever they are, be the legal system in this country waiting to pounce at the slightest utterance of a derogatory statement. Or, maybe it is the government or NATO that wants us all to dress in white and tap the back of our necks with some kind of mind control device so that we all say and do the things they want. For instance, we even have to be very careful of how we execute someone now-a-days. If, by some chance, that person takes just a little longer to die than he was supposed to, “OH MY GOD” how inhumane we have become. Now, doesn't matter how inhumane he was when he did whatever to whoever, but we have to make sure we are “POLITICALLY CORRECT” in the way we execute. Rubbish! Criminal Justice System. Wonder why it’s called that? Could it be, that the criminal in this country has all the justice. Oops, that might not be “POLITICALLY CORRECT” either. Oh well, maybe you fine folks out there can tell me who, or why we need to be “POLITICALLY CORRECT”.
