In another venue, there has been some discussion on political correctness. \u00a0In the course of \"political-correctness-voltaire\"<\/a>discussion, the inevitable question about the “why” the PC Nazi’s get away with it.<\/p>\n

It’s simple. \u00a0People are willing to bow to political correctness pressure. \u00a0Now more. \u00a0No less. \u00a0As long as that willingness continues, so will the crap. \u00a0When people stand up to the PC bullies, we see them for the cowardly cockroaches that they are. \u00a0Generally, PC Nazis don’t want to have a protracted fight because when that happens we see them for the wingnuts that they are. \u00a0But to stand up to it means that people may not like you. \u00a0They might even be mean to you. \u00a0If you’re a Christian, in particular, they may try to get you fired from your job.<\/p>\n

Phil Robertson?<\/em> \u00a0Yeah. \u00a0Like he’s going to bow to PC? \u00a0They were dumb to even try, with him and it didn’t take them long to run back to their caves.<\/p>\n

Kroger’s support of gun rights?<\/em> \u00a0Mom’s Demand Action goofed there. \u00a0Kroger basically told them to fluff off. \u00a0(Un)Fortunately, Panera was ready to save MDA’s image with their sudden and unsolicited anti-gun announcement.<\/p>\n

Chik-Fil-A?<\/em> \u00a0Another fail by the PC Police. \u00a0Likewise with Hobby Lobby<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dan Snyder and the Redskins<\/em>? \u00a0Probably the fight the PC crowd regrets the most. \u00a0The public, the hometown, even many native American groups support Snyder. \u00a0He’s dug in his heels and told the PC Nazis where to stick it. \u00a0He’s thumbed his nose to pretty much everyone including the President, the NFL and the UN. \u00a0Unfortunately for them, they made this case such a high profile, high visibility issue that if the PC crowd caves, their whole movement is jeopardized. \u00a0They simply have too much skin in the game to let is simply go away. \u00a0In this case, I believe even if they win, they lose, because now if they force<\/em> a name change, it will be just that: brute force<\/strong><\/em> and will almost certainly require the force of law.<\/p>\n

\"political-correctness2\"<\/a>America is a very Conservative nation by global standards. \u00a0What we call “liberals” are considered on the right by Europe’s standards. \u00a0We are also, by nature, the most tolerant nation on Earth. \u00a0That a necessary condition of our strong individualism. \u00a0That’s why, for years, I’ve made the distinction between Liberal and Progressive. \u00a0I think Progressives have mistaken American’s conservative tolerance for complacency or acquiescence. \u00a0Historically, it takes years to get us riled, but that’s what is happening now. \u00a0That’s a mistake that will be fatal to their movement – at least in this country.<\/p>\n

One good thing about having a Progressive administration has been the wake-up that is occurring in America. \u00a0Personally, I think that the People of Good Conscience are winning. \u00a0It wasn’t very long ago that nobody would have stood up to the evil of PC. \u00a0Now, not only is it happening, but we are winning more often than losing. \u00a0The best evidence of this is watching how extreme the PC Nazis have become. \u00a0It screams desperation.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, you need to ask yourself if you are really that weak<\/em> as a person. \u00a0If you’re a Christian are you really that quick<\/em> to abandon God? \u00a0If so, you really need to look to the authenticity of your faith. \u00a0If the answer to either of those is “Yes,” then the truth is that you are already the willing slave of evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
