maybe if we hadn't let so many immigrants in we wouldn't have to think before we speak so much

I don't have a problem with legal immigration but it should be tightly controlled. As far as political correctness its not a bit overboard, its way, way overboard. Legal immigrants come into the country knowing that they can practise their own traditions but also knowing the country has it's own traditions that are celebrated. Our political leaders and bureaucrats have decided the country should not offend people who do not believe the same so everything should be non-denominational. Its wrong and that is why the great American melting pot is no more.

Yes, I believe we have. The country has allowed too many in without insisting they assimilate rather than drag their culture in with them. This country has become too diversified and the concept of the founding fathers has been polluted by liberal minds who have never lost a loved one in any of our wars to protect the sanctity of "Freedom". Radical spin offs of the failed socialist states have crept into this country unaware by most and have infiltrated the schools, colleges, city councils and higher government offices. Can you say Arnold? This man is a pig married to a hog, but I digress. Words have meaning and just because the great, great, great, great, great, grandson of a slave doesn't like the ‘n’ word (I truly was going to use the ’n’ word but Yahoo is one of those ’touchy feely’ liberal institutions at which point this post would have been deleted) doesn't mean I have to stop using it. If these mindless boobs don't like how others view them, do you think for one moment the thought ever crosses their mind that it's something they are doing or the way they act or what they expect from the government that brings on this response? Hell no, “Why you’re prejudice”. It's not prejudice or bigotry people, it's the idea that these people think they can act out in this manor that generates the response they sometimes get.
As far as political correctness goes, to hell with it. I refuse to acknowledge it. I was educated before the schrools began this social engineering B.S. and I'm not going to yield to a bunch of mind numbed robots who can’t think and feel for themselves. Just because it feels good doesn’t make it the right thing to do. But doing the right thing will always bring about good things.
Show me Nancy Pelousy, Hilarious Clinton, where in the bible it says "Thou shall not be offended". The left needs to get over itself or face extinction.

Political correctness is retarded, I mean, mentally impaired.
As for LEGAL immigration, I'm for it, as long it is controlled and regulated. Immigration has always been controlled, we have never let 100% of immigrants come in. In the '20's a scant 2% of immigrants were let in. If you couldn't get in you went back to your country.

I'd rather for political correctness to go a little 'overbored' then to live in a society where racism and prejudice is rapt and openly allowed and encouraged.
