Gleaning Facebook: It's time to raise a ruckus!

It's time for those who support the Bill of Rights to get fired up. Tea Party, ha!  They serve up tainted Kool-aid. It's time to raise a ruckus! It's time to fire back at faux-Patriots whose doublespeak calls standing up for American values "political-correctness". 

Know: If you mess with another American's freedom of expression, you're messing with mine. Don't you do it! That ain't negotiable. See my link below.

Free speech is a great American right we share and which is not available in most other countries. Treasure it and guard it and avoid the doublespeak of the politically correct on the right or left.

BTW, pass the Kool-aide.

The US spent billions of dollars to defeat Communism, but now endorses a social form of the same philosophy, "political correctness". The irony is disturbing.

George I don't understand. What are you talking about?

political correctness is just an attempt at behaving in a way that is respectful of everyone. everyone is a lot of folks, so of course it's tricky and takes some work (but we often note that many things in life worth doing take an honest effort). it is like a verbal "golden rule." call others what they wish to be called. people who cherish their right to call people something nasty certainly can, but it doesn't make the world better (and it doesn't change the behavior of that "other" person... maybe because they don't want to listen to meanies...). of course, people do hide behind a "pc" wall. they're still a step further along the right road than bigots.

Thanks Natalie. I just posted some thoughts on "Political Correctness" in the current debate at my blog:

Note from George Barton 

The term "politically correct" and its suggestion of Stalinist orthodoxy is well documented over the past 25 years, just google the two terms. Now this "political-correctness" may be something I'm not familiar with. I used to know what "natural" and "organic" meant. I'm not sure any more.
