Use It Or Lose It

April 11th, 2008

You have Freedom of Speech. So by all means, voice your opinions and be heard. Stand and be counted. If you take it for granted, you will lose it.

One thing that bothers me about folks in Western nations is they take their Freedoms for granted. Freedoms are God-given Rights, things that come from birth. You heard the old saying that says “man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.” It’s because people took those God-given Rights for granted and allowed themselves to be enslaved.

In America, we have Ten (not nine) Rights in the Bill of Rights. All ten of them are Sacred and there should be no compromises. Political correctness is bad. It is a restriction on Free Speech. You can be ostracized for saying something that is “offensive.” Well, by all means, fuck them! Say it. If someone gets butt hurt because of something you said, it’s their problem.

People need to grow a spine. If words hurt you, you’re too soft.

With Freedom of Speech, there are very few limits. We have things that are agreed upon, like for instance, you do not broadcast your friend’s credit card info and Social Security number. You cannot violate Copyright laws, nor scream “fire!” in a crowded theater (unless there really is a fire). You also cannot make direct physical threats. If you do, the person you are threatening has Right to defend himself or herself.

Why do I keep doing different versions of this same post over and over? Because it needs to be said over and over. With political correctness, folks are afraid to say what’s on their minds even though it’s their God-given Right to say it.

So say it. Express yourself. Don’t be afraid to offend. If you offend me, that doesn’t mean I don’t still love you. I can agree with you sometimes and disagree with you other times. It’s all good. I’d rather you be honest to me and especially honest to yourself.

Political correctness is forced politeness. I said this a million times but I’ll say it again, if you force anything, there will be those who fight it. People don’t like things shoved down their throats and frankly, I’m sick of it.

I will be heard, whether it’s popular or not. I’ll tell you what I believe whether it’s in vogue or not. I’ll express my politics whether the polls say it’s what the majority wants or not.

In fact, the reason for us being a Constitutional Republic in the first place is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Everyone has Rights, even criminals. You have the Right to remain silent. You also have the Right to voice yourself. You have the Right to have ideas and voice them even though they are not popular.

Use it or lose it. Do not take your Freedoms for granted.

That reminds me, I need to take a few more liberals shooting. You’d be surprised just how fast yuppies change their views on guns once they’ve handled one and realized just how fun they are.

Is the Daily Kos a site for nutcases?

March 11th, 2008

I’ve never been to the site Daily Kos before and just happened by and now, I’m realizing they’re a bunch of nutcases. This Kos guy is convinced Geraldine Ferraro, former Democratic VP Candidate, is a racist. Why? She said this back in 1988:

…if Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn’t be in the race (running for President).

Heaven forbid! She said something taken completely out of context! She must be in the KKK!

So Kos goes on to call her a “bona fide racist.”

Well, my friends, I too am a bona fide racist. One day, I went to see my friend M who I haven’t seen in years. I thought someone else was M and called out his name. It was some other dude. So I finally saw M and told him the story and how “all white people look the same to me.” He laughed. That makes me a bona fide racist, right?

Or, my friend O and I were talking about Obama. She said “I’m not going to vote for that Negro.” Is she a bona fide racist too? Or probably in Kos’ case, Kos would call her a bona fide Uncle Tom (or bona fide Aunt Tamara?)

One day, I grabbed one of D’s beers from his fridge. As I was grabbing one, he yelled out “grab me one too, Colored Kid!” Now, D is definitely racist, right? A bona fide racist. Of course, I grabbed him one because he’s my friend, but then as a bona fide racist, I said “here’s your beer, Whitey.” Both of us, bona fide racists.

Now Kos is calling for Hillary Clinton to break ties with Ferraro because that bona fide racist Geraldine Ferraro is hurting her campaign for what she said in 1988. That’s funny. Only in 1986, Al Gore’s wife was warning white parents about black rappers making passes at their white daughters, calling for records made by homosexuals to be labeled as such (don’t want to give heterosexual white kids any ideas about turning gay, now would we?), and Al Gore himself called homosexuals “abnormal.” Yet, Al Gore is Kos’ hero. Go figure.

Political Correctness and Illegal Immigration

February 9th, 2008

I’m really getting sick of political correctness. This is straight up Newspeak. Has anyone bothered to read Orwell?

Now there’s a new politically correct word for illegal immigrants. It’s “undocumented workers.” What a load of bullshit!

Illegal immigrants are here illegally. People who hire them should be fined heavily. They do illegal work, they undercut working men and women, and employers don’t have to pay benefits nor follow safety standards when hiring illegal immigrants. This is a deliberate attack on the working class by the rich to undercut American workers. To add insult to injury, the rich media elite will call anyone who questions illegal immigration “racist.”

And for the love of God, can we please stop saying “this is a nation of immigrants?” I’m getting so sick of hearing that. You know why? Because (besides Iceland) EVERY nation is a nation of immigrants. You think in the world’s history, people didn’t move around?

I guess nobody has ever changed their country, EVER, except those who came to the United States of America. There are no people of Chinese descent in France. There are no people of Dutch decent in South Africa. There are no white people at all in Australia. There are no Germans in Brazil. There are no Italians in Argentina. There are no Jews in Russia. There are no Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia. There are no Nigerians in England. And there are no Burmese in Thailand. No. None. Nobody ever changed their nationality except in America.

Lastly, don’t lump illegal immigrants with legal immigrants. I’m so sick of hearing them lumped together. I have utmost respect for legal immigrants. They go through loops and hurdles to become American, and are often more patriotic and vote more than even native born Americans. Most importantly, they do their best to assimilate. That’s something illegals refuse to do.

A few prejudices

November 11th, 2007

I hear politically correct people all the time brag about how they’re devoid of prejudice. Yeah, whatever. People like that think their doo doo doesn’t stink. In reality, if you removed the b.s., you’d have nothing but skin.

Has anyone ever bothered to look up the word prejudice in the dictionary? Any preconceived opinion or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable.

Well, I’ll be d*mned. You mean, there are favorable prejudices? Why yes, there are. Here are a few of mine.

I love riding in a car with rednecks. No, they’re not necessarily better drivers, it’s just that if the car breaks down, it won’t be me under the hood trying to figure out what the heck happened.

If a black man invites you over for swine, catfish, or crawdads, cancel ANY previous plans you had.

Gay men are pretty freaking good at cutting hair.

Gay women know exactly what’s wrong with your dog.

If I were holding a job interview for a Unix Systems Administrator, and some guy (or gal) walked in with green hair, a Ramones t-shirt, and facial piercings, I’d immediately abandon the interview and give them the job.

If I was looking for an Accountant and saw one with a $2000 suit and driving a Benz, he’d lose the job to the guy with an $150 suit and a Honda Accord.

If I were single and found out a cute girl had a great relationship with her dad, I’d be sold.

My s*** is safe around Christians or Buddhists.

But I love hanging out with Pagan women, for they’re the most likely to show me their hoo hoos.

I’ve always been good friends with bass players, because they don’t have huge egos and are pretty controlled when practicing martial arts.

My Mexican friends always have beer in the fridge.

Filipinos always have tons of food.

So do Hawaiians.

You can always get some sports game going with the Irish.

Democrats get your pop culture references.

Republicans pay the rent on time and don’t trash your house.

When I’m playing football, I’d rather throw it to a black guy because he can catch a pass the way God intended me to throw.

If I’m playing doubles ping pong, I got dibs on that little shy Asian dude with the glasses who always smiles.

Another Political Correctness double standard

September 17th, 2007

I want to make one thing clear. I am not agreeing nor disagreeing with what was said. I’m mentioning it for the context. Read on and you’ll know what I mean.

So, I talking to some co-workers the other day and somehow terrorism came up. One of my co-workers from India, we’ll call her “Betty,” mentioned that Muslim terrorists killed a bunch of people in her hometown. Betty then started going off on Muslims, how they’re always causing trouble and how Hindus and Buddhists never kill innocent people like that. It’s always the Muslims.

Then she went off on how Muslims breed and breed and breed. Hindus practice birth control and generally have two or less children per family. But Muslims will have too many kids, more kids than they can afford to raise, then a lot of those kids turn to terrorism because they can’t afford to feed them and send them to school.

Now, here’s MY issue. If an American said that at work, they’d be fired before you can say Human Resources. But instead, people were consoling Betty and telling her they felt bad that the terrorists did that to her town.

The one Muslim girl who was sitting with us was quiet. I felt bad for her so I quickly mentioned that all the Muslims I knew were cool, practiced birth control, and were fun to party with (which actually is true), and how America does a great job in weeding out the bad ones. I think it was there that the others realized that we had a Muslim girl sitting with us, but still, nothing.

Now, this story is probably even worse. At one of my old jobs, we had an English guy who worked with us who used to say off hand stuff all the time that would have gotten an American fired. But he’s English, and his accent is “cute,” so he got away with it.

One day, I have no idea how it came up, but he started talking about co-workers breasts, with some of the co-workers present. I should have walked away right there (to save my own a**), but curiosity took over and I stayed. Well, he started rating and comparing them, then taking guesses who had real ones and who had fake ones.

I don’t even have to say this, but if an American said that, he’d be gone and the women who were present would get nice checks from the company to save the company from lawsuits. But since he was English, it was all good. I even called one of the girls up on it and you know what she said? She said that it’s different in other countries so she wasn’t offended. Then I straight up asked if she would be offended if an American said the same thing and she said “of course!”

I rest my case.

Moral of the story - with political correctness, you’re better off being a foreigner, because Americans don’t get Free Speech at work.
