Rudeness has taken center stage of late (old news to anyone who drives in South Florida). Etiquette experts say society has changed, and not for the better.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Does the rash of high-profile rudeness we've witnessed in the past few days suggest we've forgotten the basic concept?

They want their big screen tvs and all the other 'goodies' , but they want them right now.
Controlling immigration into this once great nation should have been a hallmark of government activity and concern. Instead they are looked upon by the political class as more voters for 'change.'
Because Great Leader’s work of uniting the nation is an ongoing effort, you silly.
And another thing. Joe Wilson did what was proper by calling the phony president a ‘liar.’ He is a liar and as an elected official Joe did what the weasels wouldn’t do: call a spade a spade.
Obama’s fault
Lately?
Decorum is being demanded by the left as we are being stripped of our rights.
BARF ALERT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS ARTICLE!
Not sure how this relates to the article. And what's your problem with legal immigrants?
Joe Wilson is of no comparison to these other two spoiled self indulging asses.
You did that on purpose, didn’t you? :)
Yes, it is not only time to “call a spade a spade”,
but it is time to not worry about tiptoeing around
the race issue. When it doesn’t matter what you
say or do, you get called a racist - well, then, it’s
time to intentionally offend.
Don't get me started!
There is a difference between Joe Wilson and the rest of the examples. The rest were petty temper tantrums over nothing. Joe Wilson’s accurate statement that President Obama was lying to a Joint Session of Congress was over a substantive and important political issue.
It is one thing to sacrifice decorum to argue over where a ball landed on a court. It is another thing to speak up when necessary to prevent a grave injustice.
This is the ‘new’ Dem ‘talking point’...
Where were all of the ‘Miss Manners’ wannabees 2000-2008??
Remember - It’s all about me
I’ve often said there’s nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse. - Ronald Reagan
WTF? You post an article on rudeness to rant about illegals and LEGAL immigrants wanting TV’s?
That sounds like a moron dem trying to SOUND like what THEY perceive a conservative would say.
LOL!! Joe Wilson invented rudeness! Things were edenic before he took the apple.
“Shut Up”, explained Lydia Martin.
Did the Miami Herald complain about civility when Nancy Pelosi called Town Hall protestors “Nazis” or when Harry Reid called George W. Bush a “loser” and a “liar?”
Do I hear the sound of crickets?
The left has been using our sense of decency, or values, and our politeness against us for decades.
Do we realize that its time to not worry about these things when our very freedom is at stake?
