RE :”If we have to couch every damned word and sentence so as not to offend the perpetually offended - it’s like trying to box with one hand permanently tied behind you, and your feet in cement shoes”

Here ya go.

I Don't Care if Cliven Bundy is a Racist( Youtube ^ | 4/24/14 | Kira Davis )

Next we will be told by some to repeat ‘I am a racist too’ as a group chant.

This is definitely another path off a cliff.

Saw it.

So what's the answer then? We cower in fear of being a called a word - which they're going to call us anyway, and kowtow to them?

Nope. Not an option for me.

And the fact that this Kira Davis thought enough about it to post a YouTube video in defense of him - and the amount of pro-Bundy comments underneath it - shows that THAT meme has been sorely overused, and people aren't buying it anymore.

The perpetually offended - and the PROFESSIONALLY-offended - will whine, bitch, cry, stomp their feet all they want no matter WHAT you do or say. It's a political tactic, and they use it because it has worked so well for so long.

F*** 'em.

Words only have power if you LET them power, by your reaction to them. Read "The Anarchist Cookbook" and look at how the left used the word "Pig" back in the day for cops.

What Mr. Bundy said doesn't change what started this whole crap pile, and what Fedzilla did to him.

Was he less-than-tactful with his choice of words? Maybe - but again, ONLY if you're worried about offending those who make an artform out of BEING offended.

I think the guy is just blunt and speaks plainly about what he saw; he also spoke about Mexicans being some of the "hardest working people" he ever saw. Why is THAT not "racist" - just because he was praising them and not criticizing them?

As for the group chant thing... no, of course not. But it is also a Free Speech issue here. The man made an observation - however bluntly expressed - and he is entitled to express his opinion on it.

The First Amendment wasn't designed for the protection of popular speech. It protects the rights of ALL to speak freely - whether that speech is "politically-correct" or not. The left has been screaming that at us for years - well, this is time for them to put their money where their mouth is and suck it up.

And defending your own culture, traditions, heritage, and PEOPLE from being disenfranchised, silenced politically, and denigrated on a daily basis by other groups is not "racist" - it's called self-preservation.

Either it's OK for ALL demographics to do so, or it is NOT applicable for ANY demographic to do so.

Take a walk through your local Chinatown. You're an outsider there. Why is THAT not "racist"?

Evidently "racism" is only racism when a white guy says something that makes the heads of the perpetually aggrieved explode.
