Do you think Politically correct attitude is the straw that will break this country's back.?

Question

I mean Liberally Correct --

Answer 1

Yes, yes, and yes! People don't want to hear it like it is anymore, for fear of being/making someone offended. Give me a break. Some things in life are offensive, but necessary for survival. PC is the end of our country's safety!!!! Just say it like it is. Sugar coating turns me off, and it should scare the public.

Answer 2

Absolutely, no doubt about it. Politically/Liberally correct sucks Please read the following.




General Hawley, is a newly retired USAF 4 star general. He commanded
the Air Combat Command [our front-line fighters and bombers] at
Langley AFB, VA. He is now retired and no longer required to be
politically correct. A true patriot!


"Since the attack [9-11], I have seen, heard, and read thoughts of
such surpassing stupidity that they must be addressed. You've heard
them too. Here they are:


1) "We're not good, they're not evil, everything is relative."


Listen carefully: We're good, they're evil, nothing is relative. Say
it with me now and free yourselves. You see, folks, saying "We're
good" doesn't mean, "We're perfect." Okay? The only perfect being is
the bearded guy on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The plain fact
is that our country has, with all our mistakes and blunders, always
been and always will be the greatest beacon of freedom, charity,
opportunity, and affection in history. If you need proof, open all the
borders on Earth and see what happens.


2) "Violence only leads to more violence."

This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy
League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your
heads and hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to
more violence. Limp, panicky, half measures lead to more violence.
However, complete, fully thought through, professional, well executed
violence never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards,
the other guys are all dead. That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not
"reeducated," not "nurtured back into the bosom of love." Dead.


3) "The CIA and the rest of our intelligence community have failed us."

For 25 years we have chained our spies like dogs to a stake in the
ground, and now that the house has been robbed, we yell at them for
not protecting us. Starting in the late seventies, under Carter
appointee Stansfield Turner, the giant brains who get these giant
ideas decided that the best way to gather international intelligence
was to use spy satellites. "After all, (they reasoned,) you can see a
license plate from 200 miles away." This is very helpful if you've
been attacked by a license plate. Unfortunately, we were attacked by
humans. Finding humans is not possible with satellites. You have to
use other humans. When we bought all our satellites, we fired all our
humans, and here's the really stupid part. It takes years, decades to
infiltrate new humans into the worst places of the world. You can't
just have a guy who looks like Gary Busey in a Spring Break '93
sweatshirt plop himself down in a coffee shop in Kabul and say "Hiya,
boys. Gee, I sure would like to meet that bin Laden fella. "Well, you
can, but all you'd be doing is giving the bad guys a story they'll be
telling for years.


4) "These people are poor and helpless, and that's why they're angry
at us."


Uh-huh, and Jeffrey Dahmer's frozen head collection was just a
desperate cry for help. The terrorists and their backers are richer
than Elton John and, ironically, a good deal less annoying. The poor
helpless people, you see, are the villagers they tortured and murdered
to stay in power. Mohammed Atta, one of the evil scumbags who steered
those planes into the killing grounds is the son of a Cairo surgeon.
But you knew this, too. In the sixties and seventies, all the pinheads
marching against the war were upper-middle-class college kids who
grabbed any cause they could think of to get out of their final papers
and spend more time drinking. It's the same today.

5) "Any profiling is racial profiling."
Who's killing us here, the Norwegians? Just days after the attack,
the New York Times had an article saying dozens of extended members of
the gazillionaire bin Laden family living in America were afraid of
reprisals and left in a huff, never to return to studying at Harvard
and using too much Drakkar. I'm crushed. Please come back. Let's all
stop singing "We Are the World" for a minute and think practically. I
don't want to be sitting on the floor in the back of a plane four
seconds away from hitting Mt.Rushmore and turn, grinning, to the guy
next to me to say, "Well, at least we didn't offend them."


SO HERE'S what I resolve for the New Year: Never to forget our
murdered brothers and sisters. Never to let the relativists get away
with their immoral thinking. After all, no matter what your daughter's
political science professor says, we didn't start this. Have you seen
that bumper sticker that says, "No More Hiroshimas"? I wish I had one
that says, "No More Pearl Harbors."

Answer 3

Oh yes, We can't say anything anymore because someone will be offended. We have become such a disfunctional society and it's really sad and has ruined this country the worst part is that the liberals think they are doing everyone such a favor and it is really just the opposite. We are losing all of our freedoms due to them.

Answer 4

First of all, if men feel inadequate, they need to get up off their butts and do something that will make them feel adequate. Invent something, get a better job, take classes---but do NOT blame your crappy self-esteem on women. It isn't my two X chromosomes' fault that you can't succeed in life.

Second, we're only recently learning how to live in a global society. I accept the PC attitude as a growing pain, where we aren't sure quite yet what to do, so we're extra careful. It's societal evolution, and people like Old Guy will probably fade sooner or later because they can't handle change as well.

Answer 5

Yes, because it puts courage and integrity on the back burner, to a point where politicians are afraid to say and do the right thing, and therefore they are afraid of offending certain people or groups who are super-sensitive.

Those politicians are not leaders. We don't have any today.

Answer 6

I'm not from ur country.
But I think being politcally correct is a survival strategy, & every individual lives for self only...

Answer 7

Yes look at men they feel more & more inadequate due to female equal rights at both work and home
