There’s a disease loose in our land and it’s called liberalism and political correctness.
Imagine if Hitler had been killed at some point in WW2, there would have been jubilation in every class room in the country without a thought to what some students of German heritage might think.

[excerpt] As they gathered downtown earlier this week to protest the war in Iraq, a motley group of students and activists busily readied the tricks of their trade.
A couple of men gingerly laid on the sidewalk two cardboard “caskets” topped with plastic flowers and the bloodied heads and body parts of baby dolls.

Always remember, the idea of “political correctness” started out with the name “cultural Marxism”.
