Political correctness (AKA: Political football)

There are many wrong things most believe are right in this world. Global Warming, communism, Kosovo, Family Guy, and numerous others. And to tell ya the truth, folks, I don't mind those ones as much as most because they're not accepted widely-they're just a minor inconvenience that I like to rant about.

But then there are things that are widely believed to be right when they are one of the wrongest things imaginable. What am I prattling on about? In this case, censorship. Political correctness. Nowadays you can get sued for making a joke about women, tossed in jail for calling somebody fat, and get your ass blown up for insulting Islam. The problem with censorship is that not only does it limit our freedoms, taking away our rights, but it also is terrorism that we follow with glee. We can't say that Islam is the ridiculous, evil cult that it is on television because the television corporations are afraid of getting hit with suicide bombers. That is the terrorists prevailing right there: they have already taken away our right of free speech-now they're working on the right to worship and to vote. We let them win by blocking anyone that even attempts to make eve the slightest crack at them, probably all because some Danish man depicted Muhammad.

But its not just the ragheads that we have to worry about anymore. Now everybody wants to censor everything: feminists are calling men chauvinist pigs because they make the slightest little sexist comment. At the same time, others are trying to steal the right to say "nigger" because it's considered very racist. Of course, any black man can say it because then its not a curse, it's just something he says to his friends, or his kids, or his own goddamn grand parents. But if whitey says it, then it's off with his head (metaphorically speaking).

Despite this, television becomes more depraved and insane. On one hand, we can't say nigger or call blond women dumb, on the other hand, we are fine with the average commercial showing soft-core porn and a talking, martini-drinking dog. Now, personally, I like the former half of that statement, and I don't think it should change, but I should be able to say whatever I want on television. If I want to call Islam a cult based on the insane ramblings of some pedophile named Muhammad, then I should be able to do so on any media. It's not just a way of keeping our rights, it's a way of fighting terrorism. Think about it, folks.
