Valin Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Power Line: Scott Johnson December 25, 2015 Ammo Grrrll isn’t taking the day off. She writes to wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS! What we have learned from forty years of “Diversity” and “Multiculturalism” is not tolerance and respect for differences of either opinion or culture, if, indeed, that was ever the point. What “multiculturalism” has wrought is an unseemly, undemocratic, thin-skinned prickliness and hair-trigger eagerness to take offense. Plus a relentless race for Gold in the Oppression Olympics. Outside of doctors who treat high blood-pressure, how has our society benefited from this orgy of overreaction to the slightest most unintentional “microaggression”? That such an idiotic word even exists is evidence of how far we have fallen as a culture. We’ve gone from “Live and let live” and “Don’t sweat the small stuff” to “React instantly to any real or imagined slight – litigate, legislate, regulate, or riot.” What a joyless, lonely mob of prigs, babies, and bullies we have become! Surely among the most trivial of microaggressions is when someone cheerfully wishes a Merry Christmas to someone of a different faith (or none at all). Reasonable people can disagree with me on this; feel free to get your own dang column. But this is my opinion: (Snip) “Ah,” say the complainers, “Don’t you think it’s offensive when everyone just assumes that you are a Christian?” No, I don’t. I know who I am. And I am secure in that knowledge. Inadvertently glimpsing a manger or having a flyer for Easter Ham put in my grocery sack at Byerly’s will not threaten my beliefs. Though it did make me laugh – out loud, even – because the whole bag was filled with matzo and many other Kosher for Passover items. That’s what’s called a “clue.” Today is Christmas. In the last month, many good-hearted strangers have expressed the wish to me that this day be a “Merry” one and I intend to make it so. I advise all my fellow Americans to do the same. I will also light my traditional Sabbath candles 18 minutes before sunset. That will be merry, too. A little more light and a lot less emotional heat in the world is a good thing. God Bless Us Every One. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 The Cultural Canaries Say PC Liberalism is DyingSteven HaywardDecember 5, 2016As I remarked in yesterday’s video compilation, even Hollywood has taken notice of PC absurdity. This 2 minute excerpt from Tim Allen’s new ABC sitcom “Last Man Standing” takes aim at 1a real “guidance” document against “microaggressions” issued last year by UCLA. The examples lampooned in this clip (like “people who work hard can get ahead”) were in fact proscribed by UCLA’s idiot administration. How long will campus liberalism want to go on making a complete fool of itself? How long until “jump the shark” is added to the list for its insensitive “speciesism”? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Vid At Link....you racist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
