How did America get so Politically Correct?

Can anyone tell me, exactly when did this whole political correctness mess get started? Who started it? Why was it even considered, much less enforced? I am going to guess here, but I have a feeling it got started in the seventies, just after the “civil rights” era, during that time that everyone was feeling guilty. Now, don’t get me wrong, the white man was guilty of a lot of things back then, hey, you should have heard the way people used to speak back then, I was 8 years old in 1970, I heard it.  I didn’t understand that the use of certain, now forbidden, words, could possibly be a bad thing, after all, I also grew up hearing “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”, so, somehow, I missed the whole thing!

Since this ‘politically correct’ movement took hold, things have changed! I can see where it is not nice to use certain words, but, I grew up being taught that it was the feeling behind the words that was wrong, not the words themselves, after all, sticks and stones…. Anyway, do you get my point?

Today, almost 40 years later, things have really changed! Now, it is alright for any race to use “white” in a duragatory manner, when referring to race, but it is not alright for a white guy to use any term that can be construed to be “hate” speach when referring to race, and God forbid, if you are a hetero-sexual white guy, you just cannot say anything at all about anything or you get called a bigot!  By the way, when have you ever heard that word to describe anyone, other than a white guy? here is what the dictionary says;

One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

Based on this definition of bigot, I have to admit, I am one! Yes, and my group is, “human beings”, yeah, aliens (yeah, like non-humans, from another planet!) suck! You know, they are green, purple or some other color, have tenticles, they dress funny and they smell bad! (based on movies like men in Black) Can you see where I am headed?

How many generations will go by, before it is no longer politically correct to say what I have just written? Surely, some alien is going to show up and be offended!  If I say, “you stupid, green, smelly son of a female dog”, referring to a ‘non-human’ alien, there is no one here to take offense, and I am sure that unless they conquer us, thus proving real hate, there will be many that say even worse, think about this, and should this ever happen, how long before the PC police ban the use of the word alien altogether? Will we humans, be subjected to a one way restriction on “hate” speech, like us hetero white guys are now? Have you noticed, I am having to qualify the word alien with ‘non-human’, when I use this word? How far will the PC police go?

Here we are in 2009 and I am writing this, if such a concept could have ever even been imaginable, what would the people a few hundred years ago have written? I know that my father’s generation never saw it coming!

Here is where my whole point comes out, are you familiar with Perez Hilton? You know, that gay (no, not happy) guy, that called Miss California several not nice words, I guess I should say ex-Miss California. Funny, this guy, or gal, or whatever it is, somehow was put on a panel to judge a beauty contest, how would he, she, or it, even know what a beautiful woman was supposed to be like anyway? (I could have made this a lot shorter with just one little F word, couldnt I?)  Anyway, did you hear what happened? He, she. it. or whatever, called a dude from The Black eyed Peas a fag and got his ass kicked, or at least he, she, it says he. she, it, did.  I don’t know what started it, but I know this, if that Perez Hilton would have gotten into it with some people, he would have at least had a mark or two on his face while he cried on that video like a little girl that just had her pony tail yanked by a mean little boy in school! Maybe it was karma? I guess it was a really good thing he didn’t call him a white guy!

Personally, I agree with the ex-Miss California!

Somehow, I feel this Political Correctness crap has just gotten out of hand!

I just found a video on political correctness, I didn’t watch it, so, if it is something crazy, tough, complain to those that made it!

Wow, just watched it, I had to go find the other parts of this, they are found below.

I believe there are only three parts, so, here is the last one, enjoy!

Who would you hire, the one that is Smart or the other one?

Now I know what is wrong with this country, we are too smart! I just found an article on RightWingNews.com that proves what I am saying! Well, if you watch this video, from that article, and believe it, then America has a problem, we are too smart! Follow the link to We Need To Redefine Merit and read that article, this is the basis for my opinion here, although my opinion, as usual, goes into this subject with a bit more of a critical attitude , read that article, watch the video, then read on……..

Ok, this Professor Guinier, is basically saying that diversity is better than intelligence. Intelligence, which one aquires from studying, not from having a rich family, should be the basis for hiring someone, but, she is saying that a person that only managed to retain a small portion of the subject material that was covered in the test, is just as, or more qualified because it was different from what the others had answered? Is she kidding? That would be the same as picking the one that only got one answer right, but it was the one answer that everyone that scored 9 of 10 got wrong, I would call it a lucky guess, not a sign of diversity! I imagine she would see that person as a genious?

I don’t know about now, but when I was in school, scoring a 70, or 7 out of 10 as she stated, was a C, and if the person at the top of the group tested, only managed a C, I feel that all of the teachers should be fired! If the person that made a 50, or 5 out of 10, an F, would be who she picked, for diversity’s sake, then this highlights an even bigger problem. Since Professor Guinier is a professor, it makes me wonder just how she grades her students, what kind of curve does she use? If she is failing the kids that do the best on the test, for diversity’s sake, then she should be removed, and so should any teacher, or professor, that cannot teach well enough that at least 80% of the class score a 90 , a B,or better! This 80% of the class passing would be the teacher getting a B on their ability to teach!

When I was a kid, the kids that scored less than a B got picked on by the ones that did better, individual responsibility was backed up by peer pressure, it was a matter of pride! What happens when you remove the rewards from life and make it ok to fail a test, yet still pass? Everybody becomes “the same”, no one is any “better” than anyone else, is that diversity? Is this the goal of the progressive liberals? What a concept, what a terrible future for our country, is this what you want your kids to learn?

Americans used to try and be the best, what happened? First, I guess you need to take Professor Guinier’s audience into account, she is basically telling a group of people that just happen to be part of a group that doesn’t, as a “group” do as well on the affore mentioned test, is that because “they” are less capable? No! All people, all colors, red, blue, green, whatever, should be “expected” to pass the same test, what the heck could race have to do with a test? Sorry, I am old, so, the test she is referring to, I have never seen, but, when I went to school, ALL of the kids got the same books, had the same teachers, and of course took the same test!

Her saying that the ones that pass the test have rich families, I take as an insult, not to just me, but to any and everyone, that was NOT rich, yet managed to study and pass a test! This Professor Guinier even knocked Obama around because he obviously passed a few tests himself, one time I have admit Obama did something right, he passed!

I am sorry, not everyone is as “smart” as everyone else, but, if you are in a classroom, regardless of the subject being taught, then you should be able to learn enough to at least get a 7 out of ten score, heck, that means that you didn’t know 30% of the answers!  If you cannot pass a certain subject, then you need to focus on another! Could you imagine the NBA with a bunch of short, fat, old, white guys, just for the sake of diversity? I don’t think so!

Yes, diversity is important, very important, but, diversity happens naturally, not everyone can be a lawyer, a mechanic, a computer geek, a brain surgeon, or an NBA player, or whatever, nor do we all desire to be, we all have to learn what our strengths are and focus on them, but, if everybody gets the same scores on everything they do, just for the sake of “fairness” , and no one is better at anything than anyone else, this will take us down the wrong road, an ugly road, a road where “The People” actually want everyone to be the same, one where we elect someone that promises to take care of everything because we are no longer rewarded for competing to be the best and take care of ourselves , a road where a dictator takes over and ….hmm

Planet of the Apes: Have you ever wondered?

I am very sorry,what I may write, could cause some to wonder exactly what I mean, so, my intention is to do nothing but………….provoke others, to wonder what I do!!

For some strange reason, this series of movies, that range from  like 1968-1973 and is 5  movies long,which I have seen many times since I was a kid, but for some reason, I watched a bit closer tonight! (Nothing else was on) I also noticed this group of movies has been listed for at least a month or two, which added to my curiosity. (at least some, if not all)

There was something that just almost made me mess on myself! (Yeah, it is new years, and I have swallowed a case of beer) but these classic movies also represent a past, almost duplicate of the movies!

Could it be that these old flicks, represent, the actual, racial history of our country, in some twisted way? As I said, I almost messed myself when I watched tonight, and, for more than one reason!

Wasn’t the old leader of the NRA, Charlton Heston, and wasn’t he the main character in the first movie? Hey, some of this is before my time! somebody help me!

This s a curious pattern, what do apes and the current times have in common? You tell me!

Personally, i do not think that the people involved, much less the times, could ever overlap, this is just the ……………………I had better shut up!!

What is up with Health Care? Where is the Crisis? Why all the hype? Health Insurance is Cheap!

This is 2008, and where is the best health care available? Here in the U.S.A.!

Have you ever lived in Europe? Have you ever actually paid for “Government” enforced health care? I have! I lived in Germany, as a civilian for about 5 years, and they took 10% of my pay to cover the cost of the “health insurance”, if you make $600 a month, that doesn’t sound bad, but, I made about 4K a month! That equates to what, 400 a month, that was just for me! My now late, ex wife, another example of the health care, also paid about the same, that is about 800 a month! Yes, my daughter, then a baby, was covered “free” under either one of us, what a bargain. At that time I was under 30 years old! Full heath insurance here in America would have been less than $200 a month, for all three of us! Wow, national health care is a great thing! Yeah right!

Here in the U.S.A. we have it made! If you have a “real” job, with benefits, you get it FREE! If you have a job, but not with a big company, still making a living, in the best country in the world, depending on your age, health insurance is still like $200 for an individual or less, that is cheap! My daughter, now almost 25, and still a student, in Germany, pays 15% of her part time paycheck! Her boyfriend, practically husband, is a banker, and also pays 15%, together, that is enough to cover at least twice if not 4 times what it would cost here, and that is if you are older, and unhealthy!

Here in America, the U.S.A., if you have no job, and no income, MEDICAID, is available! So, what is the problem? If you are like me, and served in the military, honorably, you have the VA to lean on! Thank God for that! I wrecked my back and can’t work, but, it is getting better, so I will soon. Anyway, what is the complaint? Are people too stupid? Maybe too lazy? Or, do they just want the government to do it for them? I don’t know, you tell me! Read more
