Political Correctness

It is my opinion that the world at the present moment is in turmoil. People everywhere are to afraid to express their opinion in case they are found to be 'politically incorrect'. If somebody doesn't like women having the vote, it is their right to express that opinion, regardless of how much society disagrees. It is their right as a human to have, and express that opinion. Now, before you yell at me for being sexist I don't support this view. I'm all for equal rights for everbody, regardless of what bits they do or don't have.
What about British Home Office Minister, John Denham? He could face charges for using the phrase "nitty gritty", which dates from the slave era. Or what about the Cookie Monster? No longer will children wake up to him screaming "Cooookiiieeess!!!!" Nope. Now he eats carrot. Then you have baa baa black Sheep, who got carted away by the thought police and is now a freak of nature. Now we have a rainbow Sheep because it is trying to promote diversity. Well, to me it is just confusing. How many three year olds will go to a farm and wonder just where all the rainbow sheep are hiding? I'll tell you, they're wearing black jumpers to try and fit in.
There's even talk of dumbing down Christmas celebrations in Sydney this year to let other cultures 'fit in'. Well as much as I hate to say it we are a predominantly Christian nation, therefore we should celebrate Christian celebrations. Other cultures need to assimilate to a degree. They can keep their culture, language, religion, and customs but please don't interfere with ours. Because of PC we are now afraid to do or say anything which might be considered discriminatory or just plain rude. We go through life tip-toeing around. But what we need is to wake up and say what we think, and screw what everbody else thinks.
And, in the final few lines of this I want to share this anecdote: whilst doing the solitare fuelled binge I call research I found a website entitled "Political Correctness: The New Communism". And you know what? I think it is.
