PC to Excess

I have mentioned that political correctness has the underlying purpose to silence opposition and destroy debate. It is anti-free speech. It is politically correct to protest the War on Terror at a soldiers funeral, but not correct to wear the American flag bandanna or t-shirt.

How ridiculous! Cinco de Mayo is not even celebrated all over Mexico. A co-worker who is Mexican was explaining yesterday that the day is in remembrance of a battle in Puebla over the french. It is not a Mexican national holiday, it is not their Independence Day (Sept 16). It is basically a day for marketing beer and food sales. It is another over-commercialized holiday. Things like the incident at Live Oak High School mentioned in the linked article need to be fought and stopped. This is ridiculous.

Another incident in the news recently was the Comedy Central: South Park episode that mentions Mohammad. A episode was going to have a joke referencing Mohammad. The creators and network received death threats over this and the episode was edited to remove the reference. Then an attempted terrorist car bomber tried to blowup the entrance to their New York building last weekend. Now there is news of Comedy Central doing a Jesus Christ show where he just wants to live a normal live in New York and His Father is playing video games.

So it is wrong to joke about Islam and fake Mexican holidays, but it is okay to disrespect Christianity? No it isn't. They have a right to say it. I will defend their rights. But socially their is a hypocrisy that is unacceptable. Well I am not a racist, I am not violent, and I am not silent any more.
