It took Pearl Harbor to force the US into WWII. 9/11 simply wasn't horrible enough for us to abandon PC thinking ...

It isn't about PC thinking; it's about socialism. Socialism--from both the left and the right--is what we get when people respond to a perceived threat. For the left, it may be poverty, so they implement programs that expand the size and scope of government to combat that threat. For the right, it may be terrorism, and government growth is justified as a means of warding off that threat.

There's a reason why many of us refer to this as the welfare/warfare state. The two go hand-in-hand. They may be exploited by "liberals" and "conservatives" for different reasons, but both lead inevitably to an expansion of government.

It isn't about PC thinking; it's about socialism. Socialism--

You are wrong dear friend. It is about both. One is the fuse and the other is the match that ignites it. Alone, they are can only nip at our heels and are easier to fight. Together, they are the destroyer of nations.

Kids are being brain washed especially in public schools, to be little humanistic socialists. In fact I was looking up the attributes of an "intelligent child". Know what one of them was? A child being preoccupied with "world peace". LOL! It's laughable however I KNOW there a re Moms out there that will instill that so that their kids will be considered a genius.

No ... I think we are losing the battle now and kids will carry it on. We're heading for disaster. IF we or they wake up it may very well be to da* late.
