Can America survive Political Correctness?

I read this piece by actor Robert Davi and one line reached out a grabbed me, “…class and racial warfare and a dangerous political correctness that causes more chaos, creating paranoia and fear.”  I really, really do not understand King SFB obsession over how much money someone makes compared to someone else.  Unless they received an unfair advantage by being a King SFB donor or one of Harry the roach Reid’s useless no talent offspring, who really has time to envy what their neighbors, siblings and friends have managed to achieve?  Within a five minute horse ride of the compound are three very accomplished doctors whose compounds are more expansive than my own.

I don’t get angry at them when I see what they have earned.  I think hmm, if I ever break anything I can have Dr. XXX.  He’ll read my x-ray.  Then  I’ll call Dr. XXXX, and he’ll fix the break.  Then if I need a pain specialist, I can call Dr. XXXX and help manage my pain.

I see those compounds and think, thank goodness that there are people who are bright enough and disciplined enough to endure 12+ years of higher education.  I couldn’t do it.  I am not nearly smart enough.  I do not have the discipline to forego a normal life for 12 years.  I do not know of a single person who would say, “If I was ever sick, I hope I have a guy like you performing the surgery.”  You don’t want a guy like me performing your surgery.  They would have BSed their way through med school taking 20 years to get a 12 year degree.   My motto is, “Not perfect, but better than it was.”  And empathy?  I can’t even fake it.  When someone looks like crap my first reaction is, “Man, you look like crap.”

For King SFB those guys who have dedicated their lives to healing are not good people. They are gold digging bastards driving up the cost of healthcare.  If SFB gets his way guess what?  You’ll have guys like Lex ripping out your kid’s tonsils. At least it’ll be at a cut rate.  That will make everyone – but the patient - feel better, right?

As far as race goes, we have Henry Aaron calling anyone who points out King SFB can’t throw a baseball a raaaaaaaaacist.  Anyone aggravated by an Attorney General who announces publicly that he will not pursue cases against “his people” is a raaaacist.  Anyone who dares not to vote for the black girl who sings really loud on American Idol is a raaaaaaaaaaacist.  Anyone who thinks the “knock game” is a racist hate crime, is themselves a raaaaaaacist.  Anyne who thinks Travon martin was a punk and thug – not that he deserved to be shot – but that his history was that of a punk and a thug is a raaaaacist. 

The truth is that incompetents calling anyone pointing out their incompetence raaaacists as a means to cover up their incompetence are the real racists.  Follow that?

We can probably survive the class and racial BS stirred up by neo-liberals as a means to distract from the mess they’ve made of the country.  We’ve had to put up that BS since the founding.  What we cannot survive is what Mr. Davi refers to as the “dangerous political correctness that causes more chaos, creating paranoia and fear.”

Need proof.  Brendan Eich:  How can a country survive when the best and brightest are fired from a company they founded for donating to a cause the people who fired him supported two years earlier?  Seems you must have a crystal ball to predict which way the Politically Correct rat will turn in our new social maze.  Often the rat will backtrack.  Then what?  Ask Brendan Eich.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali:  Had her Honorary Degree from Brandeis revoked because neo-liberal academics thought her stance on Islamic genital mutilation, slavery, forced marriage of children under 15 years old ect. were a bit extreme.  Not the practices of genital mutilation, slavery and forced marriage of children under 15 years old mind you, the fact that Ms. Ali is shining a light on these practices is extreme.  It is not PC to show radical Islam for what it is.  Better to contrive a lie about Christianity than tell the truth about radical Islam.

Hobby Lobby:  A company offers a range of birth control and healthcare options to women.  That’s not enough for the Sandy Flukes’ of the world.  Hobby Lobby must bow down at the altar of political correctness and also pay for abortifacients and abortion itself.   Religious convictions be damned.  It is not Hobby Lobby’s convictions that matter.  It’s the politically correct convictions of helpless women who can’t come up with or don’t think they should have to come up the cost of birth control.

Any climate change denier:  Better to be a child pornographer than a skeptic of the “settled science” - an oxymoron if ever there was one – of climate change.  The PC warm-mongers are getting worried as nothing is adding up for them. Unable to make their case with phony studies they are now demanding prison sentences for anyone who dare challenge their straw man arguments.

Any conservative speaker on campus:  These bastions of left wing PC tolerance and acceptance cannot stand a speaker who is Christian, practicing Jew, pro life, climate change skeptic, Republican, conservative, second amendment advocate, pro American, capitalist, advocate for traditional marriage etc., etc.  These speakers are shouted down, refused entry on campus for safety reasons or physically assaulted by the tolerant left.

Late night TV:  The PC is in an uproar because the late night slots are all filled with white men.  The dopes cannot see that they are all like-minded white men.  How about giving a slot to Ann Coulter?  Never happen.  If they get a woman or person of color you can bet that the person chosen will march in lock step with the PC crowd.   

It’d be easy to fill a book with examples of the tolerant PC left being intolerant.   The Koch brothers offer several chapters.  Little Sisters of the Poor offer a case study.  American activities such as hunting, fishing, shooting, ranching, farming, oil exploration and on and on offer examples where the nation is being paralyzed by loud obnoxious minority.  So the rest of quietly tip toe around these whiners hoping not set off wild rant where you are called a bigot, raaaaaaaaacists, homophobe, anti-woman, gun toting, flat Earth climate denier.
