Sadly, but true…

by Skip

I hate political correctness – as I said in my recent Letter to the Editor in one of the local papers:

Political Correctness is the last vestige of the insufferable who cannot win on merit.

As Doug pointed out (Negro 101 Part 1 and Negro 101 Part 2), the PC Po-lice were out in full force this past week – all over the use of the word "negro" by a senior citizen’s in a Letter to the Editor.  Never mind that he, after voting for Obama, called Obama’s ideas all but nutzy – that was left totally alone (imagine that, no defending of the indefensible by the committed!).  No, the "we want everyone to be tolerant NOW" crowd certainly had a certain, shall we say, lack of tolerance themselves and went after the use of a single word.

Thus, when I saw this by Glen Reynolds of Instapundit (hey, he’s linked to us in the past – we’re just returning the favor!), I had to put it up – a great summary:

JAMES KIRCHICK: Jonathan Crutchley discovers how intolerant the gay community can be.

Money line from Glenn:

Is it just me, or does it seem that the people who are the most demanding of tolerance tend to be those least likely to display it themselves?

Indeed!

Like it? Share it!

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    It’s simple – gay people don’t want to do business with a gay-owned business that donates money to an anti-gay party, politician, etc. that wants to deny us our rights.
    While it is the business’ right to do what they want with their money, it is an individual’s right not to do business with them.
    Wasn’t it Focus on the Family that recently told its members to boycott McDonald’s? It is their right to do so as it is gay people’s right to boycott Manhunt.
