I've heard many argue that it is political correctness that prevents them from using the N -word.<BR/>But political correctness runs both ways. Christians are loathe to let others acknowledge certain truths about their faith. They invariably play the victim card.( My favorite is when Christians feel slighted and then say something like " well what if we had said something derogatory about Martin Luther King". Quite telling since MLK isn't anybody's spiritual savior and isn't representative of anybody's faith. Always wondered why some reverted to this argument?)<BR/>Anyway,is it politically incorrect to point out the fact that Kathy Shaidle is a delusional douchebag?Young 4-Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159195318322896154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-19529042063790258152008-12-21T06:05:00.000-05:002008-12-21T06:05:00.000-05:00There are important truths here, but the most impo...There are important truths here, but the most important truth of all is merely implied: <A HREF="http://www.eternityroad.info/index.php/weblog/single/the_shamans/" REL="nofollow"><B>When what we know runs counter to the dictates of "political correctness," we are compelled, by measures little short of imprisonment, to remain silent.</B></A><BR/><BR/>It's been perfectly clear for a long time that <A HREF="http://www.eternityroad.info/index.php/weblog/single/polarizations/" REL="nofollow"><B>there are differences among the races, genders, and ethnicities as statistical aggregates,</B></A> and that those differences can become important in certain contexts.

K. Chesterton was anti-Semitic, based on a handful of throwaway lines, his friendship with Hilaire Belloc, or any number of other dubious considerations.<BR/><BR/>In that issue, Nancy Carpentier Brown observes:<BR/><BR/>"Our current culture holds the twin paradoxical views that racial diversity is gloriously wonderful, but racial descriptions of individuals are taboo. Celebrating diversity is good; describing diversity is bad. We should acknowledge that people are of different races and be glad, but not glad enough to wonder what those races are."<BR/><BR/>We will yet hang ourselves with the rope of "tolerance."CGHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789097361138861462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-84787148033062046162008-12-20T18:23:00.000-05:002008-12-20T18:23:00.000-05:00"In general, isn’t it weird how it has become fash..."In general, isn’t it weird how it has become fashionable to be naive and less worldly . . .?"<BR/><BR/>Enter Sarah Palin and her supporters!<BR/>I mean, if anything exemplifies the topic of this post, it is Palin. <BR/>Politically incorrect to state the fact that she is a glorified housewife ?
