PJ ORourke put it best.
A Conservative will say you shouldn’t tell Helen Keller Jokes.
A Liberal will say you cant tell Helen Keller jokes.

Where Indian fights are colorful sights
and nobody takes a lickin’
Where pale face and redskin
Both turn chicken.

A certain band of Indians war-painted themselves red.

That’s all.

The “Redskins” name will become a thing of the past. Liberals will not let go. Alinsky tactics work time and again. I’m a “Skins” fan from the John Riggins/Joe Jacoby/Joe Theisman days and it saddens me deeply.

Some think that there are “bigger fish to fry” but everything is in the same frying pan.

Marxists want to talk about anything except their destruction of our economy.

One can only dream of the day when 100 percent ban opinion polls and believe or disbelieve based on their own perceptions.

What would society do without effite, urban, white liberals to tell the inferior races what they should be offended by?

Liberals think they can absolve themselves of the terrible harm they have done to this country by publicly posturing in politically correct contortions. They are vile.

Braves (chant)
Blackhawks
Indians
Seminoles (chant)
Chiefs
Redskins

It’s part of our history. Good or bad. WHO CARES?? All this crap is just the latest PC BS that has ruined this country because everyone has to be so God damned sensitive. GROW UP!!

Seriously, if you live in North Dakota and are an American Indian, and this offends you - well, then, you need to get a life.

Cowboys? I don’t see any offended Cowgirls.
Giants? I don’t see any midgets offended by the exclusion.
Vikings? I don’t see any revolt from Scandinavia.
Fighting Irish? Notre Dame seems to revel in that.

GROW UP and mind your own business. If you don’t like it, don’t follow it, read about it, root for it, watch it...just IGNORE it.

I hope Snyder shows his balls and leaves it be. But thanks to Obama the issue now has legitimacy from the bully pulpit. Because it’s not a new issue, far from it. It just took this POS to give it traction.

what difference, at this point, does it matter. helen keller couldn’t hear the joke, even if she wanted to.

but then again, a liberal is more likely to tell you that you can’t tell helen keller jokes, and then tell one.

The ultimate offence for me is to take God’s name in vain.

1st Down, “distraction from what my other hand is doing” - e.g., Redskins name controversy

2nd Down, “say what I am trying to stop but actually am doing the very things I say I’m against”

3rd Down, “inflict more pain and control”

4th Down, “I’ll punt back to the media who will ask me what the coolest thing is about being the president”...”It’s good to be the king”

Good post. Has anyone ever pointed out to you that God’s last name is not Dam?
