Political correctness has become a scourge on the American landscape. Every day, some alert freeper posts at least one story whereby some individual or organization brazenly strips someones rights under the guise of "diversity", or alleged racism, or ersatz interpretation of the Constitution. Our universities, our state and federal bureauocracies,national news media and Hollywood have all surrendered in one way or another to this terrorism.
We have some of the best minds in the country posting here, so I thought what better place to find the "cure" than to solicit my fellow freepers. After all, it will be up to people like ourselves to stop this insideous onslaught of mind control.
Simple .. tellthemtobiteyourass .. lol
No seriously .. the ONLY way is to educate people .. most of the American People have NOOOO Idea what is going on cause they listen the losers like Dan, Peter and Tom
The Internet was not big back before the 92 election .. and the Media knew all about Clinton's background and history .. I am sure if the Media had only reported half of it .. he would never have been elected ..
I myself .. whenever I see a good article or investigation of sorts .. I passed it along to all my liberal friends .. at first they laughed me off .. but did I give up NO WAY .. and now they are starting to see what I have been talking about all this time
The only way to end this PC crap is that WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES stand up and take our country back .. Educated anyone who will listen and if they don't .. be patient ..give it time .. they'll start to come around .. and if not .. they are a lost cause ..
Steele suggested that in order for conservatives to make progress they have to make their own ideas transparent. How, I don't know...
Perhaps you have entertained the idea that none of the people who ran was his choice?
I am sure the list is incomplete
Absolutely correct. Whenever I get a chance, I recommend George Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language', as fresh today as it was when it was written in the 1940s. (It's available many places on the Web. Just Google it!)
But again, note that the disease has infected us all. See the rules of the forum for "racism", see the frequent racism threads and arguments, they are not about the existence of this malady, that concept, sad to say, is taken for granted, it is transparent. (I maintain that "racism" is a liberal invention, and an obnoxious term for the natural phenomenon of ethnocentrism, intended to suggest Dr Mengele, the Nazis and such.) And that is the disease we share with the liberals, and will continue to do so, until we start ridiculing the whole idea of"racism", until we demand explanations and definitions.
It seems silly, but if we put the same young smartasses to work on this campaign as they do on the Stop Big Tobacco ad campaign, the dominant culture would come into line with the post 9/11 reality. Trust me when I say that marketing men come in all political stripes. The lamestream media is months behind the public opinion curve. A few well placed zingers on TV will have enormous effect.This is the advice I send frequently to the RNC, and they don't respond.
This is a reality based solution.
WE THE PEOPLE need to stand up and fight back ..
Example being .. The Lord's Prayer before a football game .. they PC Police may be able to stop the School from saying it .. but they can't stop the people attending it from saying it .. Freedom of Speech you know .. I mean what are they going to do .. put us all in jail for saying a prayer ... if you ask me .. that is not very good PR
Or like that town that banned Santa .. and then hundred of Santa's showed up .. Putting Santa in jail is also not very good PR .. I mean .. how are they going to explain it to the children .. huh???
or when the Sorelosermans tried to steal the election last year .. it was WE THE PEOPLE who stood up and fought back .. that blew the Media totally away .. why .. because Conservative don't normally Protest like they did then
We have to start somewhere .. and it may be small little things at first .. but if you don't start .. how can you change things and get our country back on the right track .. When you get down to it .. it's really not a Dem or Repub. thing .. it's a matter of right and wrong ..
I think the strategy employed by the republicans and all the "compassionate" conservatives in general is not wise. Instead of preserving the conservative ideals as the core of their ideology, they compromise in the hope of attracting some undecided votes, while gradually undermining their traditional voters and most importantly eroding conservative ideals.
Let's start here: Next Christmas season, whenever you are confronted with a "Happy Holidays" (especially at the point in time when both Ramadan and Chanakah (eek-sp?) have concluded), look the greeter straight in they eye and say, with a smile, Merry Christmas.
If a comment is made about it, look at them seriously (keep a straight face please) and ask if they would like you to recommend some sensitivity classes for them to help cope with their obvious problem of being intolerant of other people's religious views.
Do it over and over. Smile --- Merry Christmas. That's right, be subversive next December, wish someone a Merry Christmas.
