I thought Free speech included the right to be offensive, especially politically offensive.
Am I destined for "sensitivity training?"

If you think it is OK to offend people, probably. Free speech does give a right to be offensive, and your employer also has a right to fire you for offending the people you work with.

Down with Sensitivity Training!
Down with Thin-Skinned Emotionally Immature People!
Up with Politically Offensive Language!
Everyone should go around using racial, ethnic, and political slurs all the time. Overuse with dilute them to the point of being ridiculous; at that point we can begin to have serious dialogue.

Three great things about America:
1. You have the right to be offensive.
2. You have the right to not participate in indoctrination.
3. You have the right to be unemployed and unemployable.

Yes, but *tactfully* politically offensive. Remember, diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" while reaching for a stick.
Speech police squads have been dispatched to bring you in for lingual adjustment.

People might try to lead you into it, but free speech is just that...FREE speech. Speak your mind--especially about politics, and especially if your politics are the same as mine!

If someone feels offended by what you say, too bad. The Leftwing Loonies want us to be politically correct so as to not hurt the feelings of others. If one does not like what I have to say, that's okay, but don't tell me I shouldn't say it. I say screw that, if you don't like it don't listen. Or better yet move to a communist country or a country where religion reigns so that you can be told what to think, what to say, when to crap, etc.

Yes, but not if you don't allow it
Resistance is NOT futile. We will NOT be assimilated!
