I hate to barge in with your little rants, but with all due respect it's NOT 50 years out of date and as to offensive, well only since political correctness invaded EVERYTHING in the 90's and now everything is OFFENSIVE to someone.

And FYI young lady I'm OFFENDED by all 'these people' with thin skin being OFFENDED over nothing. In fact I'm OFFENDED that you're offended over someones allegedly (in your opinion) offensive remark.

I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. You may not find it offensive. That doesn't make it inoffensive.

Try looking at it from someone else's shoes. Sure, my little brother doesn't understand when people call him that, he's too young. But I understand, and I'll tell you what, the people who use the term bloody well know what it means.

1. The term, for those to whom it applies and to those who love them, is offensive. It is not unlike the "n-word."

2. Jen is indeed a young lady. She is also one of the brightest and best conservative minds out there.
