As I read the various PC-related threads and posts here, I can't help but wonder why the PC Police continues with all the anger and name-calling and personal insults.
Holy crap folks, you've won. Have fun with it.
Americans from coast to coast are now literally afraid to say what they're actually thinking. You can constantly hear people say stuff like "I don't mean to offend, but...." - literally apologizing BEFORE and JUST IN CASE. You can sense them changing words in mid-sentence so that no one can say they're "offended". You've achieved massive success in controlling what Americans are allowed to say, and you've done it without even messing with the Constitution.
Seriously, that's quite an achievement, and I'd think you'd want to celebrate it.
The problem is that liberals and progressives are never satisfied with their current achievements.
True. They seem to live every day as perpetually miserable people, hence the reason they should be given nothing and constantly treated like the spoiled rotten juveniles they are.
In this country, we don't.Given your attitude, explain why anyone should give a crap about poor people.
We don't take care of the poor? We have the fattest hungry people in the world.

You think mudwhistle, rottewilerr, healthmyths, longknife, The T, Political Hick, etc... sound happy? When was the last time they were happy, when Zimmerman offed Trayvon
If you do, you're not paying attention. I'll give you that some liberals here are delusional but your statement that liberals are the ones who are "perpetually miserable" is silly.
you dont want the attention? Shut the fuck up.
And there it is again.
Lots of confirmation of my point on this thread, and pretty much all of them.
Keep your opinions to yourself, or there will be consequences.
After all, this is America.

Exxon must be struggling under all of Obama's oppressive high taxes, right?How much does Exxon pay? 50% of their earnings? No? Not even close?
You should be upset by that.
Government through taxes make more than the oil companies do off a gallon of gas. That should make us all upset.
None of you pay anything like 50%. Look it up.
30% payroll taxes
6% sales tax
8% tax on prepared food
36% tax on a gallon of gas
About a $7.00 tax on my phone bill
$20.00 tax on my monthly water bill
Property tax
Car tax
Federal tax on my power bill
I was being nice saying 50%, I cannot help your to ignorant to understand.
You left out state income taxes, capital gains taxes, inheritance tax, hotel tax, rental car tax, battery tax, special district taxes, airline ticket tax, tolls on roads that we've already paid for, liquor tax, the hidden Obamacare tax, . . . yada, yada, yada.
The tax on my cell phone bill is about $40.

Of course, freedom of expression means that I can respond to someone's words. But there is a clear and significant distinction here.
When someone says something that is racist or anti-gay or whatever, that provides me with an opportunity to engage them in debate. Perhaps I can change their hearts and minds, perhaps I can soften their stand. If nothing else, they'll know that there is a mature and reasoned counter-argument to their bigoted approach. Perhaps it will cause them to finally re-think things a little.
But that isn't even close to what the American Left does, in two ways.
First, they'll scream "racist" or "homophobe" at every opportunity, whether it's true or not, whether it's even in context or not, for no other reason than to put their target on the defensive and control the conversation. Once the target is on the defensive, the Left has successfully taken the conversation away from the original point.
Second, there is a massive difference between responding in kind something and issuing "consequences". I can't imagine that this isn't abundantly obvious. It's quite clear that the Left has decided to make itself judge, jury and executioner, and the final arbiter of what words Americans are and are not allowed to say without fear of a retribution that goes far beyond debate.
They want to issue "consequences", I do not. I'm not afraid of a messy society in which debate is not muffled.
And precisely how does screaming "racist" or "homophobe" or issuing consequences change hearts & minds? I don't think it does. They're not interested in changing hearts and minds, they're interested in intimidation and threats and forcing conformity.
I can think of several societies in which citizens walked around afraid of saying the wrong things in fear of annoying the wrong people, and no thanks, I'm not interested, nor will I ever be. As democrat Kirsten Powers said: "How ironic that the persecutors this time around are the so-called intellectuals. They claim to be liberal while behaving as anything but. The touchstone of liberalism is tolerance of differing ideas. Yet this mob exists to enforce conformity of thought and to delegitimize any dissent from its sanctioned worldview. Intolerance is its calling card."

And here is the prevailing and driving force in liberal philosophy and action:
Envying the success of others.
30% payroll taxes
6% sales tax
8% tax on prepared food
36% tax on a gallon of gas
About a $7.00 tax on my phone bill
$20.00 tax on my monthly water bill
Property tax
Car tax

And it gets even better for you. You've actually made it - this "civil society" that you're pretending to be after -- so that the only people who don't have to be civil are liberals! That's freakin' genius, I wouldn't have thought of that in a thousand years. I don't know if that was the goal all along, but you're really nailed it.
Anyway, just a friendly suggestion. Enjoy your victory. It's taken a while, but you have been persistent and patient. This is for you:]

They have only won assuming the premise "gays are a race of people" is correct. Otherwise, if it is seen legally that LGBT is an incomplete set of sexually-deviant behaviors, they have lost on all counts and a re-hearing of the various cases is in order.
Leading researchers agree: gayness is learned:
So tell me, Mack, what big important message do you want to say that you are just feeling SOOOOOO oppressed that you can't say it.
Go ahead, man, you go the floor.
Make the best of it.
ah... compassionate conservatives... fighting for the right to be bigots.
i love it.
no one is saying you can't say whatever stupid thing goes through your lbrains. but that doesn't mean others aren't going to note the stupidity.
*shrug*

Hmm. Can't really think of anything.
But since you're kind enough to give me the floor, I'll say this: In the real world, when someone says something against a race or against gays, I often try to open a mature, calm and civil discussion with them. Maybe I can sway them a little, just by a degree or so. Who knows. Every little bit helps. I have these types of conversations whenever I can.
I may be in dream land here, but I'd swear that once in a while I can get a bigot to think about stuff a little.
Strangely, it wouldn't occur to me to issue some kind of "consequence" to them. That's not really my place, and it seems pretty narcissistic to me. And it certainly is not constructive.
Anyway, thanks for yielding the floor.
