Have you ever listened to a academic socialist accuse you of bullying online? It's amazing this tactic, it's the same as playing the race card when you disagree with someone, they call you a racist.

Worse, the academic works very hard to call you names and insult your intelligence, putting themselves above you due to their degree in this, that or the other thing. Usually some social studies type degree that's really of little value in the real world.

Just the fact that an academic socialist elitist would do this tells you quite a bit about their MO and what they are trying to do. The socialists want to force you to play by their rules, think what they think and if you point out their hypocrisy or challenge their assertions they threaten you and call you a bully? Is that not a hoot or what?

It is rather funny to consider this, but we are really going to pay for this in the future as a nation if we do not hold the socialists accountable for their actions and if we do not stop this insanity of political correctness here and now we will find our country changed in a way that will prevent us from achieving or holding on to all we have and all we have built.

Indeed, it's that serious and if you do not take notice, you will find the mob silencing truth, and your right to free speech and we'll all be living a lie, a perfect politically correct lie, and your individuality will be lost and you will be one with the Borg. Think on this.

Many folks do not realize that that there is a bit of censorship happening online and it is rather stealthy and hard to detect. Here is how it works. If you write something that;


Criticizes Global Warming as junk-science,
Shows President Obama in an unfavorable light
States that homosexuality is wrong,
Happens to defend "capitalism"

then you will find yourself shamed online, and have to deal with personality attacks; and if by chance you decide to defend yourself, or your arguments on an intellectual bases, then you will be banned from a social networking site. Further, during the petty attacks you will be called; Homophobic, Racist, Ignorant, or illiterate.

Personally, I just laugh at the whole thing, but I'd like to point out that social networks online are much about socialism and currently they are being used to control people into a mode of political correctness. What's unfortunate about this is most of the social networks are for a younger generation, and that means they have stolen the minds of your kids.

Oh, but it gets worse, in the last couple of years, adult social networks are up by 200% and now if you participate you will soon see these scenarios play out. Many folks voted in this last election for the "socialist" political rhetoric and they bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Little do they know that those very buzz phrases come with them a wall of censorship and curtailing of freedom, the future will unfold, you'll see. I am going to tell you in advance; I told you so!

Censorship is one of the pillars of socialism and you know it's amazing that folks do not realize this. Throughout history socialist and communist nations alike, as well as dictatorships could not allow free speech, if they did then people would get talking and overthrow the government or if there was some sort of quasi-voting system, remove the leadership from power.

If you are wondering if "free speech" is on its last legs in the United States of America as we move towards socialism, you would be correct in worrying about it. Now, you must understand with socialism comes social control and the mindless masses can be completely reckless with such freedoms. Oh, sure you are free to speak your mind, as long as you are chanting the same tune.

Censorship and Socialism go together like birds of a feather; and you are free to say whatever you like, as long as it's what we are all saying. And individual thought, well that will just go out the window. We certainly saw that on the Internet with the Obama Bloggers shouting down those of other political mindsets. We also watched how the media failed to run certain stories or modified content to put Obama in a favorable light.

We will continue to see it, thus, I am now wondering if the media, will do their typical "build you up, burn you down" routine on Obama, now that he has stopped funding 600 million into the coffers of the mainstream media. This is only one of the many drawbacks to socialism, and it's a dangerous course we have charted. Please think on this.

It seems you can hardly go a single day without having to listen to some poor shmuck offer a public apology for having said something that offended somebody somewhere and it's usually so ridiculous that I can't believe what I'm hearing. Honestly, I'm tired of it. Is fussing about something someone said all we have to worry about in this country? I mean, there are people in this world that want to KILL US and, yet, there are people getting their rear ends up on their shoulders because they are offended by somebody's comments. C'mon people. Sticks and stones may break your bones but a car bomb will kill you deader n' a doornail. Folks, our priorities are whacked out. Sorry to the crackheads for the reference.

I heard a story last night that was absolutely, without question the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Santa Claus got fired. Yep, Santa got canned. Do you want to know why? The store owner where Santa was taking requests from the little ones insisted that Santa's laugh be Ha Ha Ha instead of Ho Ho Ho because she thought the latter was too offensive. How can you ask Santa not to laugh like Santa? Ho Ho Ho is how Santa laughs and if that offends you then you're definitely getting coal and switches in your stocking. As for the one that fired Santa- I have no doubt that she's going straight to Grinchville. Obviously, the reason Santa got fired is that he refused to comply. You go Santa. If this person is so worried about offending people then she probably should ban Christmas altogether because celebrating Christmas stands to offend way more people than all the Ho Ho Ho's out there. Of course, it is possible that this "Santa" was just a former radio talk jock looking for some sideline work.

Unless you've been on the dark side of the moon looking for water, I can't imagine that you don't know the origin of the whole Ho, Ho, Ho fiasco. Looking back on that incident, though, I don't know why more people weren't upset about the "nappy headed" part of the comment. Every woman I've ever known has gone to great lengths to make sure her hair was looking right. Do any of them have hairdressers and, if so, why didn't we hear from them? I'm a man and I still like for my hair to look nice. Say what you will about me, but leave my hair out of it. And if I don't feel like messing with my hair maybe I'll just wear a nappy cowboy hat to cover it up.

This attitude of being too easily offended is so pervasive in today's world that it makes me want to vomit. Oh, wait, I may have just offended a bulimic. How about "toss my cookies"? Nope, offends bakers. "Hurl"? Sorry, offensive to baseball players. "Yak"? Tibetan livestock. "Driving the porcelain bus"? Double whammy- bus drivers and porcelain manufacturers. "Calling for Ralph and Earl"? Do I even have to go there? I can't win.

I have to wonder where this will all end up. I recall a sentiment expressed by the late comedian Mitch Hedberg where he said it was dangerous to wave at people because a guy without arms might think he was showing off. It seems like a funny joke, but sadly, that's the path down which we walk. In fact, it may well be that the only way to keep from offending anyone is not to say anything at all, go anywhere at all, do anything at all and just hole up in our own little personal space and merely exist. Of course, it seems to me the better option is for people to just buck up (sorry cowboys) and quit worrying about what other people have to say.

If we are truly headed for a speechless society then I have just one final request to make. If, while walking down the street, someone is kind enough to extend a friendly hand in your direction, do us all a favor and don't pull his finger. That'd just be offensive.
