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!

Is anyone else getting this? Obama, Chavez, Ahmadinijad, whats next?

I know that I saw this coming a long time ago, how did Obama get elected anyway? Read this article from February, I have that bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, kind of like that feeling you get when you know that you made a mistake, only, this was not my mistake!

Notice the hand shake, does that look like a “professional” hand shake? No, that is more of a “hey buddy, whats up?” handshake! There is more to even than that, I may be mistaken, but it looks to me like Obama is pulling Chavez’s hand in toward him, that is what you do when you shake the hand of an old friend, someone that you know well, have maybe not seen for a while, you know what I mean, it is a form of “manly” affection, letting the other know that you care, that is NOT how you shake the hand of a dictator! Unless, maybe you are an aspiring dictator yourself? Follow the link above and see what I said then.

Take a look at the guy in the middle between them, is that an evil snicker or what? To me, it seems like the three of them are more familiar with each other than the world knows.

Just take a look at the second photo, notice the same grin on Chavez’s face? I guess in public Obama can only shake Chavez’s hand, I wonder how long it will be before the three of them start hugging?

Personally, this whole thing scares the beans out of me. Why? Because over half of our wonderful country has been deceived, tricked into believing in this man, Obama, just like those poor people in Venezuela, funny thing is, they still don’t know they have been taken over!

This whole thing does not paint a pretty picture, I just hope that those that voted for this guy wake up from the trance soon! I hope that a real candidate, one that we all can believe in, one that will not be more of the same ole same ole, one that will live by the U.S. Constitution and defend it! I don’t care if it is a Republican or an Independent, all I care about is taking our country back and fixing the mess that Washington has created over the last few decades!

Obama:big mouth or diplomat?

If you saw Obama and his town hall meeting in Istanbul, I bet you missed one key thing that he said, that definitely, had to be heard by someone other than just myself.

Obama, while answering questions about U.S. Relations with Muslims, he said “maybe we should put the mothers in charge”, I bet that went over real well! If you don’t “get it”, I will explain.

This comment just shows how little President Obama actually knows about this subject, why? Do you remember seeing how the Taliban were treating women? Do you wonder why the Muslim women have to wear a burkha? Why the women were not allowed to go to school? Why these countries that have Sharia law are so opposed to the U.S.? It is because we believe in equal rights and freedom for everybody, not just men!

By saying that maybe the mothers should be in charge, he is saying that these male dominant societies should be, in their minds, reduced to following a woman. That sounds like an insult to me!

Like it or not, any place that requires a woman to cover herself up, completely, due to their religion, and thousands of years of history, is not likely to appreciate what he said, I just wonder if anyone else will catch it, so that they can spin it into being some sort of “innocent” accident, you do remember the reactions to the cartoons showing Mohammed?

Here we go, now the government is running businesses!

So, did Obama just call him up and say, “your fired” or what? I am sorry, I have no sympathy for Rick Wagner, GM has had issues for decades now, I used to sell Chevrolets, but I have always bought Ford! Funny thing is, the dealers would not let me park my ford anywhere customers could see it, I had to park behind the dealership! Sorry, had to vent a bit!

I just say that the government has NO business firing anyone!

I doubt that most people know who GM’s “target” customers are, now don’t get mad at me, this is not my view, it is what they taught us when I sold Chevy’s, well, I could try and remember the long way they worded it, but, I won’t, let me say it as direct as I can, Chevies are for the dumb rednecks,Buick is for old people, Pontiac is a sporty, more expensive version of the same stuff, and Saturn is for anyone wanting to pay extra, just so they don’t have to negotiate!

Anyway, back to the point, since GM sucked, because they let the unions run them down and take over, GM should have just filed bankruptcy and started over!  So, why didn’t they? If your business is sucking, does the FedZilla show up and bail you out? Heck no! So why do they bail out GM and Chrysler? I can sum that up in one word, UNIONS! Obama is the Union President, he got elected by the unions so, he has to watch out for them. We the People now own them!

Since GM took the bailout money, that makes them “subjects” of the Obama kingdom, so, King Obama can just call them up and fire them! Keep this in mind, if you want any Government money, “welfare”, “Unemployment” and so on, if you take it, they own you!

Now don’t get , me wrong, the problem with the unions are not the “people” that are the members, it is the leadership, the ones that the union members pay, just so they can have a job! Anyone would want a job with big “benefits”, but it is all of these entitlements that have hurt GM, and if we don’t watch out, and we let King Obama get his social issues shoved down our throats, and let him start even worse “benefit” programs for our nation, we will all be in the same boat as GM! Our Government is broke, just like GM, but they can print money! We must tell them to stop!

As I said, GM is now owned by the government, but remember who owns the government? We the People thats who, it is up to us to tell them to stop the madness! Quit spending our money! Since we own the Government, lets fire them like Obama did Wagner!

Have you heard about Intense Debate yet?

I just happened to find out about this one by accident, IntenseDebate looks like a really good thing for everyone in what looks like every online community! I do find it kind of funny, that WordPress hasn’t sent out some sort of bulletin or something, especially since IntenseDebate is from Automattic, the makers of WordPress.

Just in case you are wondering what it is, follow the above links to learn more or to get set up. One thing I can tell you is that this site, and soon all of my other sites, will be connected to IntenseDebate, and from what I can tell, it is similar to the WordPress.com dashboard for all of your WordPress.org sites, except, you can connect everything there, from MySpace and FaceBook, to Twitter and MyBlogLog among many others, and edit your comments from one place!

It looks like this plugin has done something that I haven’t gotten around to yet, updating my theme for the threaded comments, hey, for once, by doing nothing, I did the right thing!

For some reason, this site doesn’t get that many comments, I am hoping that IntenseDebate will fix that! So, now, you have to sign up with IntenseDebate to post a comment here. I feel like I have been living under a rock, why hadn’t I ever heard about this before? Anyway, I am new to IntenseDebate too, so, if you are just getting involved, as I am, you are not alone! If you want to post a comment here, please do, I am excited to see this work!

Economy Problems: Mexico Scares Me! Look-out for Chavez!

As the entire world is having economic problems, what is next? Mexico has always been a “Third-World” country, but it is getting even worse, much worse, so what happens if the Mexican government completely collapses? You know how many people  are already coming here to get away and to make a living, if the entire thing down there goes bad, what will happen? Here is an article by Glenn Beck on FoxNews.com, “As Goes California, So Goes America”, read this for but one scenario, a very real situation, even if Mexico doesn’t fall apart.

Look at the events in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez has pretty much set himself up as dictator, and the idiots that live there voted for it! Hmm, reminds me a bit of our most recent Presidential election here! It just goes to show you, if you promise people something for nothing, they fall for it every time! What is really scary, and should give people even more reason to worry, is who Chavez’s friends are, look at the picture, Chavez and Ahmadinejad look pretty chummy!

I know why they are laughing, they are talking about how they and Obama are going to wreck the U.S. and take over the entire North American continent, like Canada would do anything. Ffirst it starts out socialism, then its communism! Why would any of that make Ahmadinejad happy? Simple, Chavez and Obama take the West, Putin takes Europe and Asia, and Ahmadinejad takes the Middle east and Africa! With America out of the way, since Obama is helping them, the disease of socialism can spread, the U.S. becomes a poor country, and then we are all here just wondering what happened! Funny thing is that nobody seems to know what is bad about socialism. You can’t blame Bush for that one!

Yes, that is a severely exaggerated opinion of but one possible scenario, and I pray to God that Obama is not going to let it go that far, but, my point is, It Could Happen! Remember  “Yes, We Can” and “Change You Can Believe In” and all of the rest? Americans were acting like the lemmings down there in Venezuela, I have to say, I am embarrassed, I am a Proud American, and to see where we are headed is a big dissappointment.

There always have been poor people and there always will be. The whole point of Free Markets and Capitalism is so that if you work hard enough you can make it to the top, way above the bottom, the whole point of Socialism is to make everybody the same, and, if you look at Venezuela, that means everybody but the Dictator is poor! Yes, Capitalism can also be described as “Survival of the Fittest”, people and businesses may fail, but, it is that opportunity to make it back to the top!

I heard an old German saying that translates to something like this; A man who makes a lot of mistakes, works hard, A man who makes no mistakes, is a lazy dog! How many mistakes have you made?

Mad Magazine: I think they got it right!

While browsing the web, I found an article telling about Mad Magazines current issue, sorry, I forgot where, but that got me curious, so I eventually went to Mad’s website to see about this myself. (If you want to see it for yourself, just click the image and it will take you to Mad’s site.) Mad is usually a bit left leaning, but always funny, I think I am going to subscribe, I used to get it, hmm, I wonder why I stopped? Anyway, if you click the image and go to their site, you can preview the issue, it is funny!

Anyway, it makes me stop and think, what would that first 100 minutes really be like? Ok, you know that the first 100 minutes went by so fast, he probably didn’t have time to think about anything, it was all just ceremony, pretty stuff for the press, things that didn’t really matter to the rest of us. I guess if I was one of his cult like followers, maybe I would have been impacted by the whole scene, but, me, personally, I was just sick!

Watching the hoards of people that endured God only knows what to just be there, I was reminded of Jonestown and the Kool-Aid. I have to admit, whatever it is that must be passed around at his rallies, has to be good stuff! It is going to be funny when the buzz wears off and reality hits!

You may have noticed that I wasn’t posting much since the election, as I said above, I was sick! The thought of where this water walking twin of the antichrist is going to take this country, I didn’t want to just start writing and say something based only on emotion, heck, at that point, the secret service may have wanted to talk to me, I was absolutely furious! I have to admit, waiting to write has been a good decision, now, I can write based on things that have happened, like that porkulus spending bill, wow, whodathunkit? Me, thats who! That is, me and everyone else who isn’t drinking the Obama Kool-Aid! Follow the porkulus link and read more about it, I still cannot believe it! I am having flashbacks to when I was a kid and Jimmy (Peanut-head) Carter was president, remember the gas shortages, the cost of living, unemployment, oh boy, I am glad that I am not a clueless teenager anymore, like the people that voted for Obama! Why do I say that, hey, I am 46 now, I know what is coming, and it will be worse than when Peanut-head was in charge!

I know, they are going to blame Bush, but only the Kool-Aid drinkers will believe that, I mean did Bush bring down the whole world economy? Not likely, these things, just like the weather, come in cycles, that old “what goes up must come down” thing, ya know? Just as (Man-Made) Global warming is being proven false, the truth will come out, eventually, and my Grandchildren will hopefully read the history books and wonder, why did Obama do the same thing they did to cause the great depression? Think about it, you cannot spend your way out of debt! You know, last I heard we are in the weather patterns simular to the 30’s and 40’s, hmm, just like the economy, what a coincidence.

Hillary Wins Indiana, Obama Wins North carolina, Now What? Who is going to drop out of the Election?

So, what happens next, will Hillary Clinton drop out? Funny, she and Barack Obama are almost tied for delegates, hmm, both just need to drop out! Just kidding, but what will happen? When will it happen? I can’t answer either, but I bet it won’t be pretty! These two are going to get down and dirty and start really throwing punches! I can’t wait!

For the last several weeks, all of the pundits have been saying that the elections of today would turn out the way that they have, does that make them smart, not really, if you listened to their reasons for predicting this outcome, it sounds pretty simple.

Yes, as sad as it is, it turns out that race and class do matter! That is just wrong! It hurts me to think that a black, white, or other, person would vote for, or against someone just because of the color of their skin, or gender, but it appears to be true. That is too bad, even the candidates tried to not make it so, maybe it is just human nature? I don’t know, but it is just wrong! Read more

Afghan Student Sentenced to Death for Downloading Paper Against Islam

Did I read that right? Isn’t Afghanistan one of the good guys now? The only thing this guy did, was download and print a paper from the Internet that humiliated Islam? It seems to me that these actions by the court do more to humiliate Islam that any paper could, no matter what it said! Here is another twist, it was written by an Iraqi!

“We completely condemn this trial,” Samandar said. “It goes against the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press.”

Well, I sure hope they get this straight, doesn’t make them look too free if you ask me!
