Social Change in America

America now has women's rights, gay rights, African-American rights, Latino rights, Muslim rights, immigrant rights, and more.  Is there anyone left?  Oh, yeah.  Maybe we could have some rights for straight white men.  Even more disenfranchised are straight white southern religious conservative men and women.  What about poor rednecks?  They are considered nothing more than pond scum.  Anyone who refuses to be indoctrinated in politically correct bullshit is no longer free to believe whatever they choose.

Freedom used to mean that everyone is allowed to think and do what they want as long as they do not physically harm another person or a person's private property.  That did not give anyone the right to deny freedom of thought or speech to anyone else just because what they think or say may offend somebody.  It does now.  Since when did someone's sensitivity become more important than someone else's personal opinions?  Freedom is about individual rights, not 'feelings'.  If one may be offended by what they see or hear, they have the choice of not watching or not going to where that may happen.  Personally I am offended by everything the politically correct crowd is doing to this country.  What about my rights?

Fifty years ago America certainly had issues regarding race, gender, and equal opportunity that needed to be addressed and rectified.  It took just a few decades to accomplish a viable transition to a more equitable and just society to the degree humanly possible.  Intolerance, prejudice and bigotry can never be eliminated in any society.  When it comes to haters, just ask liberals how they feel about conservatives.  Unfortunately the professional agitators never know when to stop after they have already won.  In fact, they become more aggressive after they have succeeded and go way past the original goal, resuscitating and reinvigorating the divisive issues that had already been effectively remedied.

Personally, I believe in the philosophy and opinions of Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Allen West, Ben Carson, and other distinguished African-Americans.  I believe they are among the most intelligent and accomplished individuals in the country.  I would vote for any of them for president in a heartbeat.  I don't believe in the divisive and destructive rhetoric and actions of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama or their acolytes.  And since I don't buy into the politically correct crap spewed by these polarizing establishment celebrities, I am labelled a racist.  Someone please explain that.

I am very tired of PC society telling me I am a racist, sexist, homophobic, right wing nazi.  I am not even close to being any of those things.  I am tired of Obamacrat liberals spouting the bullshit that straight white men are mean and evil and responsible for all the world's problems.  I am tired of being lectured to every day that we must conform to enlightened PC doctrine or be sent to anger management, sensitivity training, or re-education camps.

And I am tired of being blamed for every horrific monstrous event that occurs in this world.  For example, why would all of white America be blamed for the action of one mentally deranged individual in South Carolina?  And what does the confederate flag have to do with it?  Maybe the Libs should look inside their own actions and wonder why dangerous mentally ill people are roaming streets and neighborhoods rather than getting the medical and psychological help and/or physical confinement they need.  Better yet, the libs should look at their own actions in forcing politically correct doctrine down America's throats and triggering the unstable time bombs that do go off.

Apparently They Are Not Kidding

The intellectual exhaustion of the Democratic Party is evident by the fact they apparently cannot find a person other than the corrupt, self-promoting, integrity-lacking crook Hillary Clinton as their presidential candidate.  In fact, it appears they aren't even looking.  One of the greatest mysteries of all time is why anyone would ever even think of voting for her.  She has no achievements other than getting elected or appointed to political office due to ties to her husband of convenience, nor any record of accomplishing anything of benefit to the country while occupying those offices.  The woman is all promotion and no substance.  She is a human scandal generating machine.  The last thing America needs is back to back pompous, incompetent, narcissists as president.

Her entire campaign is based on spewing the same old liberal cliches demeaning opponents and making utopian promises that never have been and cannot be achieved through the policies Democrats advocate.  Oh, and also the fact that she is a woman.  Our current president won because he is black.  Since when did either of those qualities become important factors in deciding our nation's leader?  There are plenty of African-Americans and/or females in this country who would make great presidents.  Neither of these two is even close.  When will the people who vote for them ever get tired of being conned?

Has the liberal chain of command ever considered what kind of damage their rhetoric is doing to the country?  They continually accuse everyone who does not agree with them of being heartless, greedy, racist, bigoted, intolerant, prejudiced, sexist, xenophobic, evil, violent, subhuman haters interested only in making children go hungry, denying racial groups access to personal development, throwing the elderly under the bus, using law enforcement to harass minorities, ensuring the poor have no opportunities to improve themselves, and imposing extreme right wing religious rules on everyone.

But the vast majority of people who do not agree with liberals are not and do not want to impose any of those things.  They are as tolerant of alternative lifestyles, as interested in improving everyone's standard of living, as concerned about personal and national security, and as dedicated to liberty and justice as anyone.  Furthermore, most of us are completely colorblind when it comes to intellect, capabilities, and personal relationships.

The real issues are how to achieve economic and social progress as well as maintain our national and personal security.  That is where the big differences between liberals and conservatives exist, and it would be a good idea to focus on creating intelligent and rational debate about them rather than making absurd, defamatory accusations.  No one is going to change their mind because of insults and false accusations made against them.  All that does is piss them off.  If liberals keep doing nothing but demeaning the intelligence, character, and motives of those who disagree with them on some issues, then sooner or later the vitriol will erupt into a violent conflict.  Do they really want a civil war?

I love my country and what it stands for.  I can't say the same for my country's government, its political leaders, or the uninformed people who continue to put lying, self-centered charlatans in public office.  If the Dems want to run a female celebrity they need to find one that has actually accomplished something on her own.  Hillary Clinton has not.

 

Lighting the Fire

Lost in all the bullshit (i.e., PC media coverage and PC approved public conversation) about the so-called racial incident in McKinney, Texas is the fact that around 100 people were breaking the law by invading private property and creating a violent disturbance.  When the residents of the community whose rights were being violated called the police to take charge of the situation, the absurd result was that the law enforcement authorities who arrived were the ones blamed for attempting to do something about the brawl that was already out of control. 

I can't think of any better way to destroy the legal and social fabric of a nation than to accommodate the promotion of anarchy.  The concept of private property is one of the basic founding principles of American society.  It was not the trespassers on private property whose rights were being violated.  Fifty years ago the police regularly used much more force than witnessed in McKinney to subdue people violating the law, and they were supported by all law abiding citizens for doing so.  Racism is not the issue.  The issue is law and order.

Yet the politically correct bleeding hearts and mush-brained haters on the left stridently accuse law enforcement authorities rather than the lawbreakers.  They claim those who view the events differently are inhuman beasts that must be cast from society and never be allowed to have an opinion that differs from theirs.  The vicious, arrogant, self-righteous airheads on the left are provoking some really bad shit that is going to happen in this country.

Who is going to protect citizens from those breaking the law when it is the law enforcement personnel who respond to the calls for help that are condemned and subject to personal retribution for handling any resistance to their authority.  No one, that's who.  Ordinary citizens will be forced to take the law into their own hands whenever their rights to life and private property are threatened.  Is that the society the self-appointed enforcers of politically correct behavior really want?

We have already lost freedom of speech in this country, evidenced by those who are ostracized and lose their jobs after expressing a politically incorrect personal opinion as well as educational institutions routine censorship of books and commentary that don't conform to left wing ideology.  We are now losing our rights to private property, liberty, justice, and personal security.  The loss of the right to life is obviously next.  Big Brother, the Thought Police, and the Ministry of Truth have already arrived.  The Ministries of Peace, Love, and Plenty are not far behind.  The English Socialism and totalitarian control of the Inner Party is well under way in America.

We are witnessing the destruction of the most successful experiment in democracy, freedom, equal opportunity, and prosperity that has ever existed on earth.  Unless the people who blindly follow the authoritarian politically correct line propagandized by the leftist elite pull their heads out of their butts, it will soon be gone.  Then it will be all about who has the most firepower.
