“Ignore the obvious and embrace the absurd.”
If liberals were honest, that would be their rallying cry.
If conservatives weren’t so concerned with being labeled mean-spirited, we’d
point that out - we wouldn’t let them get away with it.
Who could have imagined politeness, once a virtue, would one
day transform itself into a weapon powerful enough to paralyze this country?
But politeness, with its demon spawn Political Correctness, is killing reason and
patriotism in the USA.
“Nobody’s saying you don’t love this country” has become the
“not that there’s anything wrong with it…” of the new millennium. We apologize for
liberals when they spew the most violently anti-American rhetoric, or embrace
the most absurd and harmful positions this country could possibly take. The
effect has been a dangerous blurring of what is reasonable and good for this
country, and what is absolutely suicidal.
We need to call a spade a spade. Invoking one’s First
Amendment rights does not in itself make one a Patriot. It does not indemnify anyone
from the harm their words may cause to this country or to their own reputation.
Don’t let these people off the hook. Don’t pretend they love this country when
it’s obvious they don’t; to do so would be absurd.
