I am by NO MEANS a right wing jesus loving nut job nor am i a liberal. However, i have noticed that it seems like liberals have lots of double double standards when it comes to political correctness. A perfect example of this is that a lot of liberals and people on here in general will bash christanity (myself included). However, why is it that it seems so much more taboo to make fun of muslims (or are we all just scared they will blow the **** out of us for doing so(and for anyone who takes this to seriously i am joing). Why is this more taboo or is it christians get insulted more because they are more annoying and in your face? (Which is kind of my obersvation).
Another perfect example of this is plenty of liberals don't mind words like **** which the gop nut jobs would censor if they could. At the same time it seems like liberals always shutter at any sort of racist of femminist jokes). Why is this? In my opinion, and i am not racist, there is nothing wrong with racist jokes

or any other sort of joke that degrades people (unless it is just blantatly mean). Hell i think that racial slurs by themselves are not offenseve and that it depends on the context of how they are used. Anyone who says the word ****** is automatically offensive no matter how it is used, would have a hard time making that case to me when, africans americans ( granted is the younger generations) seems to refer to each other as ****-ers as a term of endermeant

If a bully is running around your school, that one girl is not the only one that is being persecuted!! Tell the teachers, or wait until they come after YOU, to do something!! As for the general population, people are Always running off at the mouth, about things that they don't understand! Whether they know what they are talking about or not! Which happens a lot on THIS site, especially about Mormons! Man judgmental, know it alls, know nothings, are so amusing! And the less they know?, the more they run their mouths! Methodists, Protestants, Baptists, and basically any Fundy church will speak out against the LDS, IN their churches, by their pastors,ministers, and reverends! And they call themselves>>> christians????? They sure are all inspiring!! The LDS don't do that! They simply say that they have the true gospel!! But, they don't go into other churches to preach that!

i think the reason people have no problem making fun of christianity. is because it is the largest religion in our country. or the majority. same as its ok to call a white person a cracker and its not even looked at twice. however if being called a cracker offends you your a racist. its esay to hold the majority to a higher standard. its also easier to pick on christianity because they have a self impossed higher standard of morale values (at least in thier oppinion). and although that high standard is unatainable most do there best to attempt it. and when they fail and the always do its easy to point a finger and call them a hypocrit. its also been my expierence that liberals ralley and march just to ralley and march in the last 10 years i cannot think of one single "rally round the flag pole" liberal campaign that has made a bit of good other then stur up contraversy which is all they are looking to do anyway.

Funny -- most of the "racist" jokes I hear are from members of whichever race the joke is about.
As far as the rest of the question goes . . . the first step to fixing a problem is identifying it. Finally, someone sees that problem!
Not all GOP "nutjobs" like censorship -- some of "us" know Fahrenheit 451 frontwards and backwards and see it coming, and it scares us ****less.

I get a kick out of liberals who want gay marriage, but do not want polygamy. The justification for one applies to the other.
Or the ten dollars for every three poured into breast cancer vs. Prostate cancer.
Or the lack of outcry for male rights in education now that metrics show women are ahead of men in most categories. They sure made noise when the gender gap was the other way around.

Does the word minority mean nothing at all to you people? Do the words past persecution, only recently given equal rights as it should be also evoke anything?

Christians are attacked most because they are more in our face...
...and almost every one uses double standards, Liberals and Cons.

what makes you assume that liberals can't be Christians and vice-versa? from your post, i see nothing but one generalization, stereotype, and put-down after another...you may not THINK you're a bigot, but here's a little news flash...if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, chances are it ain't no armadillo, scooter

I'm an American. It's fundamentalist and Evangelical Christianity that's destroying my country, not Islam.

Well, Republicans sure don't give a hoot about PC. They are well known for being racists, bigots, sexists, Islam-haters.
Sir or Madam, you are probably new to Y/A then. I see loads of Islam-bashing "questions" on here by atheists and radical Evangelical Christians alike. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
