The politically correct movement in America continues to run a muck. Something as innocent as being painted in black face, like Al Jolson is in the photo to the left, has become a "hate crime".
The liberals in our great country are doing their best to undermine our freedom of speech by determining what language is acceptable and unacceptable, and who is allowed to use or not use certain words.
Instead of bringing unity, the proponents of political correctness continue to divide the country by classifying people according to race, sexual orientation, political ideology, social class, and national or ethnic origin.
Here's a couple items from this week that prove that "political correctness" is nothing more than an attempt to stifle free speech in America.
LaShawn Barber has a stinging essay on the uproar
created by the NAACP and one of it's members, Gary Hines. The controversy surrounds a 1939 play called Ten Little Niggers, renamed Ten Little Indians, and then renamed again And Then There Were None.
A 9 year old boy was suspended from an Arizona school for the "hate crime" of calling blacks "brown people".
If you read the full story, you'll find that the boy was coerced into using the phrase "brown people" by the mother of the boy he had a problem with, and she's a detention room officer at the very same school! Well isn't that convenient!
Talk show host Michael Savage is under attack from liberals and Muslims, particularly CAIR, for his diatribes against the cult of Islam.
CAIR is leading the charge to get Savage fired from his job, joining a growing movement that is taking aim at conservative talk radio.
If Hillary is elected in '08, don't be surprised to see the attack on talk radio ratcheted up, since it's the most powerful source of conservative ideology today.
