"Change agents"? Kinda like the old Soviet Red Army "political officers"?
Muslim fanatics in the Middle East are trying to destroy us from without, and Communists are doing the job from the inside. I said it before, and I'll say it again: JOE MCCARTHY WAS RIGHT!! BRING BACK HUAC!! Sad times, indeed.
We are nine months into a new, supposedly conservative administration and five weeks from the worst blow to the civilian population of this nation by a foreign power since the War of 1812. Yet the diversity and sensitivity nonsense continues, essentially unchanged. That our military and civilian leaders are more concerned with the "feeeeeeeeeelings" of Muslim extremists and domestic homosexuals than with victory does not bode well. God help us!
I excerpt this as a typical example of the kind of lying right-wingers do these days as a matter of lifestyle.
No one will ever prove the above charge, and I will bet a thousand dollars that it isn't true. It's just more lies from the wing-nut faction in yet another attempt to blame Clinton for something he didn't do.
At no point in this article did this Waller (in mud?) guy make any connection between Clinton and the "sensitivity training" he is complaining about. But that doesn't stop him from blaming Clinton anyway.
If a right-winger were writing a headline for a volcano eruption, he would probably work Clinton into it somehow. Then, months later, we'd find out that no volcano had actually erupted in the first place -- that the eruption had been "imagined" by someone from a slime sheet like INSIGHT as a new way to falsely accuse Clinton of something.
As aggressive and unscrupulous as they are, right-wingers would be even more dangerous to liberty and freedom if anything they said ever turned out to actually be true.
However, one small phobia on my part. I absolutely hate the use of PC and "politically correct".
As best I can tell, politically correct was first used by the Soviet Communists and refers to that which they (the Communists) determined was politically correct. So the next time you hear someone say somethig is or is not politically correct, ask them: "according to whose politics?"
So fellow Freepers, here's my challenge to you:
If anyone can document an earlier usage of "politically correct" than the one below I'd love to know!
From the authoritative "The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression," copyright 1999 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. Originally published in France in 1997, I have read that it really rattled the French Communists by telling how they knew about the atrocities taking place in Europe by Lenin, Stalin, etc. and doing nothing to help the victims or expose the murderers of millions of Russians and eastern European ethnic groups during the 20's, 30's, 40's and early 50's.

All these measures were part of the preestablished de-Cossackization plan approved in a secret resolution of the Bolshevik Party's Central Committee on 24 January, 1919: "In view of the experiences of the civil war against the Cossacks, we must recognize as the only politically correct measure massive terror and a merciless fight against the rich Cossacks, who must be exterminated and physically disposed of, down to the last man."
(See page 99.)
And as anyone who has read of the actions of liberals at many universities or "People's Republics" like Massachusetts and California can attest, the threat to tolerance and liberty in America comes from the left side of the spectrum. They believe in tolerance only if they can tolerate your views; otherwise, to the concentration camp, er, sensitivity training you go!
I'm a white hetero male who was passed over for promotion (along with many others) back in the 80's for this very reason.
Who knows how many 'non-minority' kids my age at the time with better academic qualifications than a quota filler couldn't get into college because of this crap?
Where are my reparations?
I'm a victim of racism, dammit, where's my check?
They offend my 'sensitivities' as a human being.
Where's my check?
Or, in particular reference to this article, Aids.
