Title: I have said the same....... Post by raydawg on 10/14/18 at 08:52:54 Prior to the election of Trump, and I still believe this today, the BIGGEST factor in the elections outcome was Political Correctness. When you tie policies, and the practice of PC to implement, or to silence any debating, and opposition, you in effect, have stepped upon one of the most precious rights we have as individuals..... Not to even mention how many people have had their lives destroyed, their very livelihood, character bashed, based upon, at best, poorly chosen words.... They approach and use this "tool" as a moral authority, much like those in organized religions, use their SELF APPOINTED authority, to try and ENFORCE their own beliefs on morality as a absolute. Both are wrong, and for the very same reasons. Maybe this is why they often fight each other, as they both vie for the same spoils of war.... The Danger of Trump’s Political Accomplishments By Andrew Sullivan Political Correctness and the Status Games of Elites I’ve finally found my own tribe! I’m in the “Exhausted Majority.” That’s a formulation devised by a very large study published this week, called “Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscape.” That majority lies between the quarter of Americans who see themselves as “traditional conservatives” and “devoted conservatives,” and the 8 percent who identify as “progressive activists.” And this exhausted cohort, it turns out, hates political correctness. A full 80 percent, no less, see it as a problem in America, and this finding shows no salient age or racial differences. Even the young are fed up, including 74 percent ages 24 to 29, and 79 percent under age 24. What they mean by PC seems, in this study, to be the fear of being “called out” for saying the wrong thing, usually around race and gender. Yascha Mounk writes up the study here and notes one 57-year-old’s worries: “The way you have to term everything just right. And if you don’t term it right you discriminate them [sic]. It’s like everybody is going to be in the know of what people call themselves now and some of us just don’t know. But if you don’t know then there is something seriously wrong with you.” That seems about right to me. The policing of speech under threat of social ostracism is never fun. It constrains speech, it sees evil where there often isn’t any, it conflates mistakes with malice, and it exacerbates racial tension, rather than alleviating it. So who on earth favors it? It’s not loved by racial minorities. Hispanics oppose PC by 87 percent; African-Americans by 75 percent. But it does correlate with class and education and whiteness: “Progressive activists are much more likely to be rich, highly educated — and white. They are nearly twice as likely as the average to make more than $100,000 a year. They are nearly three times as likely to have a postgraduate degree. And while 12 percent of the overall sample in the study is African American, only 3 percent of progressive activists are. With the exception of the small tribe of devoted conservatives, progressive activists are the most racially homogeneous group in the country.” I call your attention to the last line I high lighted/underlined..... Who do you think make up this elite group? I liken them to the plantation owners, who interest lies solely in holding on to their own power, and wealth.

Title: Re: I have said the same....... Post by T And T Garage on 10/15/18 at 11:36:44 No ray, it's that no one really cares about your post. But I'll be your huckleberry and ask you this - do you want to go back to calling African Americans "ni@@ers"? How about Hispanics "sp!cks" or w3tbacks"? Aren't you a Native American? You want to be called "!njun" and passed off as drunk? (Hmm, I wonder if you put Native American on your application to Boeing?) How about trump just calls out Soros for what he thinks he is - "a money loving, stinkin J#w Boy". Political correctness is not to blame for anyone's downfall. The lack of using it, in conjunction with sound reasoning might be. I don't know about you, but there's no way I'm voting for a white guy that call African Americans "ni@@ers" or an African American that calls a white person "Cra@ker". Would you? |

Title: Re: I have said the same....... Post by MnSpring on 10/15/18 at 12:12:49 It is very clear that, a/the, UL Progressive/s, can NOT see the difference between, ‘civility’, and ‘PC’. Calling someone a Derogatory name, is light years away from ‘PC’ correct. Like: Lie = ‘Adjusted the truth’ Thief = ‘re-appropriated ownership’ Murderer = ‘prematurely ended living’ (and many more) |

Really mn? So, this wasn't in the little blurb that ray posted: What they mean by PC seems, in this study, to be the fear of being “called out” for saying the wrong thing, usually around race and gender. So, are you specifically trying to lie about this? Why would you do such a thing? Are you secretly in love with ray? |

Truly unfortunate that you are unable, and cannot understand a belief or a conviction. And when you can’t understand a concept, you simply resort to, ‘derogatory’, remarks. |

Truly unfortunate that you are unable, and cannot understand a belief or a conviction. Hey, I'm just reading from the article that ray posted. No need to get all huffy - it's your mistake, not mine. (btw, it was about PC, not "beliefs") And when you can’t understand a concept, you simply resort to, ‘derogatory’, remarks. [/quote] Not at all. I was wondering if you love ray. How is that derogatory? (hey, good for you for using a big word like "derogatory"!) I had no idea you were so sensitive. be careful, of some people on here might think you're a snowflake... |

Title: Re: I have said the same....... Post by raydawg on 10/15/18 at 15:37:31 Answer the stories charges, plain and simple..... Disagree with what the author writes, then prove it, or just keep lying. Better yet, go on Ebay and buy some of Warrens panties and sniff them until you pass out chief ;D Bless your heart, it must be real hard on you. |

What's hard on me? I'm living a good life - and thanks, I am blessed. But I wonder how you can go from talking about a woman's panties to that? It's not even childish behavior, it's borderline manic. |

My pitiful existence is nothing compared to your 9 thousand + posts... But seriously ray? "Fool" is all you got? Pathetic. Why not some more sexually tinged jokes? What's the matter, did the middle schools boys kick you out of their clique? Move on ray, you are way out matched. |
