These ultra liberal pansies need to grow a backbone and get thicker skin....."Can't drill for oil there because it will mess up the mating habits of the dung beetle"....."Can't spank your child because you need to talk to them to death first"...."Can't have this because you could get hurt if you stick it in your eye".... :jerkit: . The ultra liberals are all about control. Control over things, control over the gov't, and Control over US. Period. I'm so sick of the gov't or worse yet the wussified Liberals spending all their time trying to keep me from myself. People need to tie on their own shoes and if you fall down, get up and deal with it. Don't look for the gov't to put you on a pad everytime your pussy hurts because you are too stupid to do it yourself.

If I don't wanna say a WORD, I don't say a word. If it offends me, then I deal with it. If I don't agree with it, then I don't and move on. Political correctness is nothing more than an excuse for people to be a big fat sissy. Freaking grow up, suck it up, and deal with it. If you gotta kick someone's ass because they called you something you don't like, then kick their ass...that's dealing with it. Just don't turn into this spineless dweeb that only knows one way to deal with things.....whine until you get your way. I'm so sick of it myself.

Political correctness is nothing more than a crutch to life.

Once again, I agree with your examples 100%.

However, the Pledge is sort of the exception to the rule, in my opinion. A historical item was specifically and deliberately rewritten to cram some religion down people's throats during the time when we were at the height of dealing with the 'Godless Communists'. It's not about result so much as it is intent. And the 1st amendment specifically states that you cannot make a law respecting the establishment of any religion. Inserting 'Under God' into the Pledge and stating with no room for doubt that you're doing it to put a little religion into people's lives is a direct and obvious circumvention of the law in both letter and intent.

Do I think it's harmful? Not really. Even as a Jewish-reared Athiest it's obvious it does very little. There's much bigger issues with what government needs to stop doing and get it's hands out of than two words in the Pledge. What we should both agree on, though, is that it's unconstitutional. Period.
