That’s why they call him Clint Eastwood.
Go Clint!

Mighty white of you to say that, Clint! They’re running a “Dirty Harry” festival on AMC this week. Nothing PC about those flicks at all.

Clint should get out of Hollywood occasionally. People still tell jokes where I live.

“accuses younger generations of spending too much time trying to avoid being offensive.”

Hubby and I have raised three good young men, ages 26-21-and 20. They show respect to their elders and never mind lending a hand but I know my boys spend zero time avoiding being offensive. Everyone knows where they stand and if you do not like their opinion-tough-

Yup, kind of proud of that....

What’s he talking about? Every demographic is open for mocking, e.g.Italians, Irish, Germans, Pols, Whites, Christaians, Mormons, etc.

You just can’t make fun of homos, commies, muzzies and blacks.

Political correctness isn't about “just” not being able to tell race based jokes.

It is about not being able to call same sex relations a sin.

It is about not being able to call abortion murder.

It is about not being about to deny man as the cause of global temperature changes.

It is about not being able to defend your right to own a gun.

It is about not being able to defend your right to your own private property (land, wealth, inheritance).

My husband and I saw his new movie Sunday. Harsh words, but great movie. He is talking about this movie when he says we have to worry too much about offending others. It was funny and eyeopening. I bet the ACLU and other easily offended people are mad as can be.

Calling someone a racist, as the term is used today, is not a comment on their beliefs or personality. It is a power play. I can shut you up and marginalize you by calling you a racist.

You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist.

It hasn't happened to me lately, but I am prepared. Depending upon who is "outraged", my answer would be "Only in your eyes. Deal with it!" and move on. As many have found, once you face these bigots down, they fold like a tent as they're used to everyone assuming the fetal position (politicians and liberals, mainly).

How soon will the MSM will be quoting Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: “You are talking about the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind!”

Tick, tick, tick....

I appreciate Mr Eastwood’s comments but it is a joke for him to rail against PC when his own movies portray that very thing.

Gran Torino for example depicts him as a white “bigot” who only gets his redemption by getting absolution from the Hmong. Give me a break. We have become a pathetic and weak peoples.

A rabbi, a priest, a Baptist preacher, an Irishman, a German and a Mexican walk into a bar.

The bartender looks up and says, “Is this a freakin’ joke?!?”
