Political Correctness - Who needs it?

Do you remember when the phrase "Politically Correct" emerged.  If I remember correctly, it was in the 1990's.  What is it?  According to Wikipedia,  Political correctness is ...(adjectivally, politically correct; both forms commonly abbreviated to PC) is a term denoting language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social offense in gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, handicap, and age-related contexts. In current usage, the terms are almost exclusively pejorative, connoting “intolerant” and “intolerance”.

Here's the best definition I have ever found.  "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."


Personally, I think political correctness has run amuck.
 
Let's look at airport/homeland security for example.  Who attacked us on 9/11/01?  Muslim extremist!  Who has hijacked every plane in the last 30 years?  Muslim extremist!  Who perpetrates 99% of all terrorist bombings? Muslim extremist! What is airport security on the lookout for at every check point?  Muslim extr......!  WRONG!  Answer: Scissors, kntting needles, letter openers, liquid soap, 90 year old nuns in wheel chairs, belt buckles (I saw this personally...confiscation of a 80 year old, WWII veteran's belt buckle because it had the image of a gun on it.),.... PLEASE!

The Christmas Day bomber would have never made it on the plane if we had been searching for one thing - MUSLIM EXTREMIST! Oh, but we cannot profile for fear of hurting someone's feelings.  It's not profiling if you know what you are searching for, it's IDENTIFICATION!  Do you think the security forces around Israel's airport care if they hurt someone's feelings?  If they suspect anything, you will get an orifice inspection that you will never forget.  And they, won't say "I'm sorry" when they finish. Muslim extremist terrorist do not try and originate their flights from Israel.  I wonder why.

When are we going to get it? When are we going to stand up and and quit bending over backwards everytime someone (primarily the terrorist supporting group CAIR) complains about the methods used to protect this country. [I'm convinced that our President does not know that his primary duty is to defend this country, its people, and its Constitution.] So what if they are offended. They have the right to not fly.  Why not exercise it?

This is just one example. There are many. So, how are we going to go about combatting this doctrine?  Me personally, I'm going to start calling a "turd", a "turd". (I never really stopped.) Political correctness is a "turd".  If it's offensive,....not sorry!  How's this for starters?

  • ISLAM - It's a BLAST!
  • PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals
  • Nuke 'em til they GLOW.  Shoot 'em in the dark.  Use their heads for runway lights!
  • "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father but by Me." - Jesus Christ
  • There is only ONE way to heaven - that is with a personal relationship with Jesus.
Those last two caught you off guard, didn't they?  Believe it or not.  They are politically incorrect.  Come on Christians!  Be offensive!
