The Rational Americans ... as opposed to the Platitudinous Progressives

SEE HERE One has to wonder what is going on in Washington these days. The progressives have created a myriad of phony baloney concepts and issues that might reasonably be called "politically correct" but they are not correct and if they are political, then politics has descended to new and deeper depths than ever before, perhaps so deep that it will not soon recover.

I don't know if Sarah Palin would be a good candidate for president, but I'm confident that she is a good person and sees straight through the crud which is passing for thought these days. When a good man like the Rev. Graham can't speak at a Pentagon Prayer Breakfast because he correctly characterizes Islam as evil (read the Koran folks ... it's readily available, self-contradictory, violent and ... yup, lots of evil in there). Now the politically correct folks will go out and find a few things in the bible that can be construed that way. There is a fundamental difference and all you have to do is look at the way the two groups act. By their fruits shall you know them. The tragic collapse of the Twin Towers in New York is forever etched in my mind as are the people who had no way to survive choosing to jump.

Diversity seems a very nice general goal, but in practice what it means is giving up judgment and we were given our minds to make judgments, not harsh ones, but realistic ones. The man or woman who refuses to use their minds are destined to be slaves. The things that pass for thought in Washington these days and in the news media are evidence of a tragic lack of judgment and a rush to dissolution.
