Wow, that’s a toughie! It couldn’t have anything to do with the leadership of those wonderful bastions of freedom you cite being deceptive, corrupt hypocrites, could it?

No, they don’t want to celebrate individual achievement – so they play that aspect of competition down, their rationale for participating in the Games being national prestige, demonstrating to the opressed masses of the world the kind of superior human that the great socialist lifestyle and culture produces. Which is why they pumped their athletes full of steroids and cheated every fucking chance they got…

Anyway, I wasn’t referring to the leaders of commie countries, I meant the West’s radical left, the ivory-tower academics who blame everything on men, whites, heterosexuals, Americans, American allies, and a host of other evildoers. The clowns who give us the totalitarian idiocies of campus ‘speech codes,’ the institutionalized racist discrimination against whites they dress up with the Orwellian misnomer “Affirmative Action,” agitation for laws that trun all minorities into “victims” and absolve them of all responsibility for their actions, individually and collectively, the attempts to repress science that doesn’t support their corrupt, bogus ideology – like Steven Jay Gould and his deluded followers’ attempted hatchet jobs on the heritability of IQ – the list goes on and on…

Gnome sane, cuz?

If they were true, they would have boicoted the thing by shouting crap like “we believe all men are equal and, as such, we despise an event that glorifies those who excel in sports”, wouldn’t they?

Honestly, when will you ideologue sheep cease with the endless mindless bleating of “racism!” “bigotry!” and all the rest of your Marxist doublespeak?

What I speak is carefully considered rational analysis – not childish never-neverland fantasies where “everyone is equal” and “suicide bombers are freedom fighters” and “war is peace”… hypocrisy and denial, in the service of the idiotic delusion of remaking reality so it matches up with your naïve preconceptions.

Show me you have anything to back up your words. Let’s see some sound reasoning and objective fact.

What – exactly – is “bigoted” that I said, and in exactly what way is it “bigoted”? I say I am objective and that PC – and it’s adherents – are truly what’s bigoted.

Prejudice means ‘judging before it’s possible’ meaning ‘before knowing all the relevant information.

I used to think like you, when I was young, naïve and inexperienced. I was prejudiced. Now, I have many years of real-world exposure and experience, I have gained considerable knowledge and wisdom. I now realize that many things I thought were obvious truths are insidious lies, that many things in life are not what they seem. And I long ago quit pretending that the evidence of my senses and experiences was wrong and that some foolish, illogical bullshit was right.

F’rinstance:

People are not equal. No two people who ever existed were ever equal. No two groups of people can possibly, ever, be equal. In every measure, people differ, and groups made up of differing people cannot possibly be identical in any respect. Yet PC preaches not that everyone should be treated equally, but rather the moronic lie that everyone is the same and that recognizing that is somehow wrong.

A world without war is an impossible fantasy, as long as humankind exists.

Deception and untruth is wrong, no matter how noble you think your cause. Reality, no matter how good your intentions, can never be ignored because it’s unpleasant.

Any asshole can shoot their mouth off and point a self-righteous finger and say “that’s racist’ or ‘you’re a bigot’.

So let’s see what you got – chapter and verse. Specifics. PC cannot survive rational, objective examination. PC poisons minds and continually attempts to destroy reason and truth.

So let’s see what you got.

While you may refer to it as “morally bankrupt”, it is still better then mindless ramblings of the bigoted and ignorant that fail to see past their own self interests.

Imbibe yourself, enjoy it while you can. But in the morning, those ramblings in #9 will still be bigoted and wrong.

“Lauren the FISH ? (Ghoti – ‘gh’ as in enough; ‘o’ as in women, and ‘ti’ as in nation?)”

Precisely so, and right sharp of you to pick it up. Many of my Spanish-speaking friends mispronounce my (unusual, Alsatian) surname as the name of a familiar-to-them So. American fish, so it’s become their nickname for me. And being, yes again, a Pisces, adds appropriateness to the moniker, albeit along a different referential vector…

“Excellent post, by the way..”

Additional evidence that you, in marked and welcome contrast to some of my right honourable rhetorical opponents here, use your brain for something more than keeping your ears from rubbing together…

“Now I’m confused. I had the impression (which seemed to be confirmed by #16, that Lauren was feminine. Oh well.”

It’s fun having a gender-ambiguous Xian name, as it allows me to see what gender assumptions people make absent all cues but my words…

Since I’m bigendered (not to be confused with bisexual ( not that there’s anything wrong with that! )), it makes no nevermind to me which gender people assume me to be – but I was born male.

“Its Kazakhi for “Goat”. Apparently, he likes goats or something.”

Almost, but not exactly. I dislike sheep (the human variety) but admit I like to get people’s goats at times.

“7. “Remember you stole the mexican’s land.” So, Canadian, what part of Canada will you be giving back to the Indians.”

HAH! Touché!

#14 – pedro

“#9 I didn’t read you before because I thought it was too long but boy, I couldn’t agree more with you.”

Neither could I…

…and now we come, as Joyce so charmingly put it, by a commodius vicus of recirculation, back to my old friend…

#13 – Mr. Fusion

Blah, blah, blah, & cetera. Also, blah.

Oh my. Where to begin? Methinks I just may, after timely recreational ingestion of a quantity of ethanol in one or another flavored solution, deign to return to some of the near-innumerable inaccuracies and misconceptions in your post.

In the meantime, why not try laying off the Multiculti-flavor Kool-Aid and thinking for yourself for a change? You have nothing to lose but your slavish adherence to morally-bankrupt PC ideology…

So, egged on by clueless white liberals, the disfunctional criminal underclass flourishes, rotting American culture from the inside.

Where are the “clueless liberals egging on” these “criminal underclass”. Better yet, who are they? Got some names?

I see you never got to take Sociology in High School. Otherwise you would have learned that immigrating cultures will tend to keep within their own or a close society. The second generation will branch out and feel at home in both cultures and are usually fluently bilingual. The third generation will usually feel at home in the new culture and slightly uncomfortable in the immigrant culture.

The British Muslim immigrants you mentioned will fall into the first, immigrant category. Their children are much more comfortable speaking English and dressing in western garb then they are. It is difficult to learn a new language and English is harder then most. The language barrier, skin color, and to a much less extent, the foods and religion are what keeps this first generation apart. If you look at British blacks of Jamaican decent you would see. How the second and third generations are much more accepted then were the first.

If you bothered to study any history, you would know that almost all immigrants since the early 1800s have been discriminated against. Mexicans are no different.

The Iron Curtain may have come down, but the Marxists never went away, and with the well-intentioned but uninformed, self-righteous and naîve help of Western liberalism, they’re coming back stronger than ever.

The more I read this, the more confused I get. Did you forget your medication this morning or are you serious? I would expect something like this from Comedian Rush Limbaugh or O’Reilly, but your past contributions here at DU show someone of intelligence far above this drivel.

I mean c’mon, Not every “marxist” value is wrong. Marxists don’t like violent crime and neither do we. Marxists don’t like dieing needlessly and neither do we. Marxists don’t like criticism of their leader and neither do Republicans. (ooopps, that is a similarity and could be wrong)
