Exiles from Political Correctness

You don't have to look very far to find that everyone is a victim of something. Most of us are a victim of the heresy of the bottom line. All industry, all commerce is built on the bottom line. In the church, in the college even at your favorite fast food cafe, everyone is counting numbers instead of making numbers count.

There was a time when the university learning experience was one of life's greatest challenges, becoming a well-read, well-rounded, well-informed, well-traveled individual has been replaced by just passing the course, getting a piece of paper. There was a time when, next to the home, the relationship with others of your faith, in your place of worship was, a God-preparing, eternal vista for life after death. There was a time when the restaurant visit was an enjoyable leisurely gourmet experience. This is not in today's callous intemperance, impersonal, bare table, economizing, presentation which lends no credence to a memorable event. Poorly trained servers are only exceeded by the impoverishment of chef experience.

Today, it is necessary to make a transatlantic trip in order to hear “bon appetit”. Please, please bring back the days of airline food, when airlines were interested in serving a decent meal with good corn on your tray instead of inspecting the corns on your feet.

After President Nixon returned from his opening of Communist China in 1972, I was one of the first Americans to visit China along with a plane load of doctors and lawyers. I had stood on the Island of Macau and just wondered what life was like behind the red, translucent curtain of Communist China. I thought I had witnessed poverty in eastern NC. But, the poverty of the coolies was beyond description, living in crowded communes all wearing the same uniform, all with the same haircuts (men and women) a totally controlled, collectivist, authoritarian, Godless society. Having totally eradicated every visage of spiritual faith and tradition, even to the beating up of all monuments and tombstones to build roads, the Communist system is simply utilitarian. Those who SEEK communism in this country have never SEEN raw communism, the enslavement of human beings, the tyranny of free will as found in a totalitarian system. “The end justifies the means” applies to every area of life from the cradle to the grave, with total control. You eat the communist food. You dress the communist dress. You live in the communist's house. You are cremated in the communist's crematorium. Like the hogs and chickens on the collectivist's farm, you are a slave to the system.

Incomprehensible, a democratic republic buying cheap, slave industry merchandise paid for by our almost worthless fiat dollars, and then borrowing back these dollars so our coupon clipping, entitlement supported populous, can buy these consumer items is a vicious circle that should be an insult to all freedom loving, human-rights-supporting citizens and an embarrassment to the financial wizards of God fearing democracies.

In two years, mark my word, with things going as they are now, under the Obama administration, there will be so much inflation and so much authoritarian control, political correctness will mean very little to anyone, even the talking heads on television. The liberal talking and thinking academics, the minorities who actually believe their black messiah would make a change in their life, are taking over the church and making it powerless. So the liberal fringe element, communists are taking over every area of government believing “the end justifies the means”. We are enslaved by a national debt which can never be repaid, looking down the barrel of a gun, pointed at us, by the lenders who just may come over to collect their indebtedness.

Desperately twittering and clinging to the proposition that even though all men are created equal, our rights have been subtracted. Remember, God did not believe in vote taking anymore than those who in military authority depended on taking a vote before making this a land of the free and a home of the brave. The promiscuous society believing in political correctness; that anything goes; if it feels good, do it; bad is good, has come back to bite and even eat us.

A WWII veteran told me recently, “I am so tired of government lying, so tired of political correctness, so tired of the talking heads just telling us what they think we need to know. Where is God, where is the devil? I am getting so I don't believe in either.” I said, “do you believe in the wind? You have never seen either but you have certainly seen what they can do. You have seen what the devil can do to the lives of people, you have seen what wind can do to a coastline in hurricane.” I became a published writer in the fourth grade, the following is a poem sent by my teacher Ida Champion sent to a youth magazine, Wee Wisdom

Who has seen the wind? Neither you, nor I

But when the breeze blows through the trees

The wind is passing by.
