Another Reason I Hate Political Correctness
Posted by Terry on January 18, 2008
At least it’s not as bad here as it is in Britain, but we’re on the slippery slopes, folks.
Recently, Radio talk pioneer Bob Grant was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by Radio And Record – an industry magazine. Mr. Grant is on the, lets say, conservative side in his views, and the liberals in the industry threw a fit. He has rubbed libs wrong for a very, very long time and now they see it as time for payback. In a nutshell, they rescinded the award.
Neal Boortz blogged about it in his “Nealz Nuze” segment of his website and, as usual, he let Radio And Records have it. You can link to it here.
Also…In Alaska, a thirteen year old girl has been arrested for ” Touching boys over their clothes”.
Uh Huh…
Now see, this is the kind of do-good bullshit that is turning the United States into one of the worst places to live anymore. What’s next, the “Thought Police”? It’s already happening in Britain and Canada, and it’s on its way here.
And the sad part? Some people think it’s okay, and most just don’t either care or pay attention. The last time I checked, the Constitution gave us freedom OF speech, not freedom FROM speech. Just wait until Hillary gets elected. It will get worse.
Oh, and on a funny note…I just got a Hillary bumber sticker. It says “Run Hillary Run”. I put it on the front of my car.

I think it’s funny having a banner that says “Run Hillary Run” in front of your car
Do you think Hillary will win?
Btw, thanks for adding me in your Blog Roll. I added yours too
Nice meeting you.

With political correctness taking over our entire culture, it’s amazing how far reaching and all-encompassing it is. The large numbers of people who nod their heads and walk in a straight line is frightening.

Hi there, fellow Ohion. I’m from outside Toledo. I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s frightening to my husband and me to see the direction this country is headed. And it seems the only people with rights anymore are the criminals. Hillary is definitely not the answer with her government controlled health care plan and more. And don’t even get me started on how we’re not supposed to say “Merry Christmas” anymore for fear of making someone feel uncomfortable. I love your blog. Keep up the great work.

One very good question: I hope this does not happen, but if we do end up losing our freedom in the U.S. because of extreme political correctness, then decent people will need to have a place they can flee to. Which countries may be best? Certainly not Europe or Canada, they are worse than the U.S. But are there any better, still decent countries-and if so, which countries?

Hmmm…Good question. I’m not sure that I know of a country where PC isn’t threatening the rights of regular people. I’m sure there may be a few where it isn’t as intrusive, but I couldn’t tell you where.
