Why do some Conservatives insist that political correctness is killing our country?

Question

Yet, some of the same people are quick to call you an anti-semite if you question the Isreali government or it's policies?

That's it, Wraith... in all political incorrectness here.. you're a f'n moron. I don't belong to a party.

Oh God...another "you liberals" a**hole. Look buddy, quit sucking the kool-aid from Rush's teet for a second and come back to reality.

Answer 1

I don't remember a time where I was ever offended. I just ignore ridiculous statements until now.

You liberals want everyone to be as miserable as you are that is why you want to take away God, Jesus, X-mas....

Answer 2

Point one: Israel

The Iranian government and multiple radical Islamic factions have called for the destruction of Israel and it's people. While I can't say that I'd ever turn a blind-eye to Israel when they're wrong, they're more deserved of our support than ever before, especially with the whole of the Middle East bearing down on them through Palestine. People love to play the whole "Palestine is in strife" card, yet no one realizes that, if they are so bad off, and the rest of the world cares so much, then why won't the richest region in the world (The Middle East) even supply them with the basic necessities for life? (more so than just bombs to blindly lob over a wall and into a city). Palestine is bordering a 3rd world status in many parts, but somehow, with all of this oil money, there isn't a spare dime to turn Palestine into 3 times the country Israel is? It just makes more of a case for an attempted genocide in the future, and that all Palestine is to the radical people of the Middle East is a staging ground for terrorists to hatch their plans against Israel.

Point two: Political Correctness
Political correctness is turning our country into shades of gray. That little rhyme, sticks and stones? What ever happened to that? Now, every thing's an insult, and the whole country just takes solace in being vulnerable all the time until their government swoops in to tell the big meanies, "you owe this person this much money because you're mean to them".

When the rest of the world is willing to offer us that concession, then maybe, I'll consider political correctness to be a necessary evil. Until then though, we're a nation that is producing 300,000,000 tattle-tales and mama's boys. If you can't handle someone calling you a name or something equally as asinine, how in the world will you be able to handle the real world when no one is holding your hand?

It's ashame that there are mean people out there...jerks who get their jollies off of picking on the younger, the older, the less fortunate, the minorities...I understand that. But by trying to force a Utopian view where everyone will comply or be fined/imprisoned isn't going to make mean people nicer, it's going to keep EVERYONE from ever opening their mouths when it comes to controversial topics. P.C. doesn't fix anything. It makes strong people weaker now that they don't have to fight their own battles and even less prone to just ignoring ignorant people, like we all should. If someone's that ignorant, then who cares? It's not my life. If they want to be an ignorant ****** and spout slurs and epithets, then let them show how shallow their true intellect goes, and see how far they get in life...ignore them.

Answer 3

I wouldn't go as far to say its killing the country. But it is a stain on the national fabric much like racism has been for 200+ years. It attacks freedom of thought, expression and religion, essential elements of a functioning and open democracy. It goes against the laws of nature and can hinder solving underlying social problems by putting a band-aid fix.

And yes I will call anyone an anti-semite if they believe that Israel doesn't have a right to exist as a Jewish sovereign nation in peace and security or if they believe that Israel has been given a fair shake by the United Nations General Assembly.

Answer 4

It takes away free speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought. It says that we all have to think the same way about the same things or we'll be in trouble. PCism is selective and it is also cowardice dressed up as "good manners", as in, "I'm afraid I'll offend someone so I'll just make nice at all costs". Our great constitution says absolutely nothing about the right not to be offended. A truly free person would never run to a lawyer or a teacher or anyone else yelling, "They offended me!" That is what cowards do, and this Nation was not made up of cowards. However, we have allowed cowards to slip in and overtake us. What are we going to do about it now?

Answer 5

Poplitical correctness and appeasement is killing the world, not just our country. The military ends a 100-year-old tradition because ONE person complains that what is read at a military funeral about the Jewish faith is offensive. Wonder what kind of person found it offensive....

UK schools stop teaching the history of the Holocaust because the Muslim students find it offensive.

Muslim students in Sweden harass their Jewish teacher. Instead of blaming the students for their backwardness and teaching them tolerance, the Swedish school system moves the students to another class with a nonJewish teacher.

Answer 6

There is a difference being a bigot and burning crosses vice someone who makes a joke.

When you can't say a word against a Muslim as not to offend them yet according to PC you can have people come into a church make a mockery of the serivces and consider OK.

PC says you can't show cartoons as not to offend lets say Muslims again.

Yet it is OK to show our troops being snipe by Muslim terrorists.

If you can see how PC is out of control let me ask you why the major effort in schools to have no Christmas celebrations yet have schools have lesson on Islam and give kids Islamic names in a public school.

I can give more evidence to why PC is out of control.

You won't see it because it would offend you and that would violate PC rules that their are problems with PC.

Answer 7

Because before any problem or issue can be addressed it must first be identified.

Too many people have had their lives ruined by attempting to
identify and address a legitimate issue and then got labeled a raciest, a homophobe, an anti ( fill in the group of your choice ).

Answer 8

Go ahead and question them all you want. Just don't act like the PALs are some sort of innocent victims in the deal. They've had their chances to make peace and turned away. The Israelis are doing what it takes to survive when surrounded by enemies sworn to their eradication.

Answer 9

right here is the link in view that lazy Tracy can't be bothered putting interior the full transcript. Beck's opinion is just one yet study the full transcript. She only cherry picked the section she wanted to tout. BECK: So, the shooting in Alabama. O’REILLY: Yeah. BECK: Did you hear how they defined this guy? I mean, it exchange right into a common, you recognize, “he exchange right into a loner. He exchange into quiet. I didn’t understand.” I mean, it exchange into quite…yet what they actually defined, whilst they even have been given down into it, what they reported exchange into: “right here’s a guy who felt that he have been wronged. He didn’t sense delicate conversing to completely all of us. He exchange into disgruntled and each little thing else.” and then he went out and shot a gaggle of persons. As they have been describing him — and that they reported, you’ve have been given to bypass, now better than ever, you’ve have been given to start conversing to human beings. you ought to start connecting with human beings because of the fact we’re going into perplexing situations yada yada yada. As I’m listening to the define. initially, this guy’s a psycho. needless to say, he’s a psycho. O’REILLY: ideal. BECK: yet as I’m listening to him. I’m thinking related to the yankee human beings that sense disenfranchised ideal now. That sense like no one’s listening to their voice. the government isn’t listening to their voice. whether you call, they don’t pay attention to you on the two factors. in case you’re a conservative, you’re pronounced as a racist. you opt to starve little ones.

Answer 10

Ask me and I'll tell you that people are too quick to be offended. I have the right to speak and they have the right/choice NOT to listen. Don't listen and then whine because you didn't like what you heard.
