Political Correctness is Destroying America

[Snaggletiger]

Here we go again.  So, Good Friday is a day that exists solely because Christians recognize it as significant in the history of Christianity.  Tell me Bloomington, who are you excluding in your inclusiveness? And now you think Americans shouldn't celebrate the "discovery of America" because of what happened after the discovery of America?  Tell ya' what Bloomington, why don't you give up your little slice of this country, deed it back over to the Indians...I'm sorry, "Native Americans"...and sail your PC asses back to Europe.  Fox


The city of Bloomington, Indiana, has renamed Good Friday and Columbus Day because the names imply a cultural insensitivity, according to the Bloomington Herald-Times.

The new, more politically-correct names will help make the holidays more inclusive, the mayor said.
"We are terrifically proud of our diverse workforce at the city," Hamilton wrote. "That diversity makes us stronger and more representative of the public we proudly serve. These updated names for two days of well-merited time off is another way we can demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity."

The Herald-Times reports that "all city employees receive paid time off for Columbus Day, a federal holiday ... and Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday. In the future, the city will be calling these paid days off 'Fall Holiday' and 'Spring Holiday.'"

Good Friday is not a federal holiday but is observed by many Christians as the day Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans.

Columbus Day is a federal holiday noting the arrival of the Italian explorer in the Americas, on Oct. 12, 1492. Columbus Day has come under fire from liberals who claim the discovery of the Americas by Europeans led to centuries of oppression of Native Americans.

Dissing and dismantling the holiday became more a left-wing cause when the late Howard Zinn, a political science professor at Boston University, spent the first chapter of his 1980 book, "A People's History of the United States," flaying Columbus.

"To emphasize the heroism of Columbus and his successors as navigators and discoverers, and to de-emphasize their genocide, is not a technical necessity but an ideological choice. It serves -- unwittingly -- to justify what was done," Zinn wrote in his celebrated left-wing tome.

The news likely does not come as a surprise to residents of the city of Bloomington. The city and surrounding Monroe County -- thanks mostly to the presence of Indiana University -- are overwhelmingly liberal. The county gave Clinton 58.6 percent of the vote -- almost a 14,000-vote margin over Trump.

The news of Bloomington's Columbus Day erasure came the same day that Columbus Eastern High School defeated Bloomington High School South.

Columbus, Indiana -- the home to Gov. Mike Pence, now the vice president-elect -- is Bloomington's eastern neighbor. It was so named in 1821

This may or may not belong here, but I'm dropping it here anyway.  This is a bit from an article written on a "viral rant" from Louisville women's basketball coach, Jeff Walz.  What is a viral rant anyway?  Sounds like someone is pissed about being sick.  Anyway, we need more peeps and/or attitudes like this.  Fox...

Jeff Walz called out his team's lack of effort during a postgame news conference after No. 7 Louisville lost its second straight game to No. 5 Maryland on Thursday. He also suggested some players came into college hoops expecting to get cheered and celebrated when they didn't earn it.

"What's that teaching kids? It's OK to lose. And unfortunately, it's our society. It's what we're building for, and it's not just in basketball, it's in life," Walz said. "You know, everybody thinks they should get a job. Everybody thinks they should get a good job. No, that's not the way it works, but unfortunately, that's what we are preparing for, because -- you finish fifth, you walk home with this nice trophy, parents are all excited. No. Not to be too blunt, but you're a loser."

Haven't bumped this thread in a while.

Never mentioned this Evergreen State situation the first time I saw the video. This is next-level SJW insanity. This dean 100% lets people fuck his wife in front of him.

There's so many videos, hard to pick a highlight reel.







If you only watch one video, make it this one.

Are you trying to incite me to murder? 

Anybody who snaps instead of clapping?  Shotgun shovel to the forehead. 

Why do we allow this?  What happened to "sit your ass down and shut the fuck up??"  Do these princesses not have parents? 

This country is so, so, so fucked.

Highlighted are the ones I agree with. The rest are garbage.

Mandatory military service

So, I guess the plate in my head which keeps me from qualifying for military service I got when I was 8 because the asshole down the street couldn't be bothered to watch where he was going in a subdivision would line me up for execution.

Actually, it just disqualifies you from being a radioman.
You can cook, right?
