Wednesday, January 12 2011: Political Correctness
I shared a link from the ACLU website the other day on Facebook. The link talked about some Republican nitwit in Iowa (I think) who wants to repeal portions of the 14th Amendment because Mexicanz are in ur backyardz stealing ur jobz.
I didn't expect anything to come of it because wingnuts wasting time trying to steal rights from American citizens is so obviously "bad" that it should have been uncontroversial.
Well, it wasn't and one of my "friends" foamed at the mouth that she was sick of this PC stuff and doesn't want to support "them" anymore. Wading through her inability to form a coherent argument and her imprecations against the wrong group of brown people (she hates illegal aliens but the article was talking about the children of illegal aliens who are born in the United States - in other words Americans), I have a hard time seeing what political correctness has to do with this issue. Political correctness is parochial censorship from self-righteous mouth-breathers who want us all to avoid offending thin-skinned cocksuckers (like when some trisomic cunt leaves her Fortress of Dumbitude in Alaska to visit the normal parts of the United States (i.e., where the cities are) to insist that people stop using the word 'retarded').
The only thing I can figure is that my friend suspects being racist isn't PC (which I guess it isn't) and she's sick and tired of having to hold in her hatred for browner people. Still, lost in all her mouthfoam is the fact that no one who claims to hold to the ideal of liberty and justice for all should think it's a good idea to take away the rights of certain Americans based on who their parents are, but, sadly, there are people (like these Teabagger shitheads) who do.
