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.
