Problems with being PC

Well hello folks and welcome to my first ever attempt at being a "blogger". You may hate my politics before it is all over but you will have to admit it is easy to love to hate me. I welcome comments and lively debate as always. Just remember if you can't take the heat don't fling poo in my kitchen!

Now to the topic at hand. How many of you are finding it increasingly hard to be Politically Correct these days? While I must agree old sayings like "Call a spade a spade" are both offensive and overly vague I believe "being PC" is the lie most folks tell themselves in the mirror each morning. Any of you who wish to argue with me about the fact you never judge anyone will find my take on this compelling. We as simple creatures must make judgements about everything we do every day. We judge the food we order, make, or buy at the store every time we are hungry. Will it be yummy? Is it healthy? Is it worth the money? You get my point. If we just mindlessly ate the first thing we came across every time we would not be in very good shape. I for one would be very cranky if I had to eat tofu all the time. Denying that you make judgements is a complete and total lie. The really sad part is you are lying to yourself!

Now to the real kick in the pants. You judge people the same way. You do so every time you meet someone. They make you smile. Make you feel comfortable. Make you squirm. Make you mad. Make you wish you had gone ahead and gotten that conceal and carry deadly weapons permit. The only way you can account for those feelings is the judgement you make of these folks verses your experience with others like them. Deny your nature if you will but that is how you were built.

Absolutely you can step out and go against your gut instinct but how far on that limb will you truly travel? Lying to yourself and promoting your Political Correctness to others does not make you a good person. It makes you a neurotic delusional with limited social skills. How is that for Political Correctness?

Finally bashing others for being honest no matter how harsh they are about it is being Politically Correct? How about that Bill Maher? Here is another crap sandwich eater who throws money at lost causes and then whines about it later. Pony up and speak your mind and stand behind your statements or learn from the mistake it was to open your mouth in the first place but stop using Political Correctness as a shield. We can't afford a nation full of sheeple who cannot make a decision and stand around all day eating the crap sandwiches others feed them and wringing their hands wondering who they have offended!
