rendition regarding the conservative rendition of Political Correctness and then stretched it to encompass YOUR prejudices concerning Obama's efforts to escape the consequences of his twenty years worth of endorsement through silence.
Please have enough courtesy to accept that some of us are at least as intelligent and perceptive as you are and recognize bullshit when it is present WITHOUT having to step in it.
I'm not really interested in defending or persecuting Obama in this thread as the mass media is already doing it's usual schizoid job of that themselves. They will presently inform us by majority opinion of just what we should be thinking in regards to Obama and his SPEECH and his innocence or guilt.
Doesn't the anticipation just make you breathless?
Of course conservatives are the greatest experts of forcing the entire world into a rigidly politically correct mold and then decrying that they haven't done anything of the kind and that only liberals do that. Rather sadly, liberals [who damn well should know better] practice PC in rather different but nearly as pervasive ways.
The entire goal of both factions is to shut down real dialog in absolute terms. In such cases neither side is interested in real thought and certainly NOT in independent thought.
Consider my odd nic; really consider it. There's nothing accidental about its selection.
If we want to really advance racial thought and habits in this nation then we must allow for the utterance of non PC thought on the Left and the Right and from the Center without automatically attacking that person and proclaiming that we have found a racist or some other brand of sinner.
People need to back off and let thoughtful people muse and toss out ideas without leaping forward to bite them in the throat, but that's not going to happen as long as PC is the operative term for all ideological sides.
