Political Correctness: RANT

Maybe it's because I am in my 50's and grew up in the "good ole days".  Life was simple then. My household was like the Cleavers (Leave it to Beaver). Mom stayed home, Dad worked, 5 kids in my family..all close in age like stair steps. Kids played outside (we were forced to "..go out and play" after breakfast in the summer (in hind sight, it was to protect my mother's sanity)...now people get their kids taken away for letting them play in the park..sheesh! Neighbors looked out for one another, peoples sex lives were a private matter. Racially, relations were ...well, what they were. Blacks lived in "their" neighborhoods, whites in "theirs" and it was by choice. Civil rights were fought for and won. Of course it was wrong to make "white only" restrooms and water fountains. Forced segregation started the feuding, as I recall. I believe people CHOOSE to be around like minded individuals. That's why for eons there have always been different cultures. Push as TPTB may, they will never change that. All they are doing is causing more separatism. It's all about Agenda 21...forcing everyone to be one big melting pot of love and joy. Never gonna happen.

Gays? Sure, there were and have always been, but back in "the day", people kept there sexual preferences, indiscretions and such to themselves. None of anyone's business. I had many gay friends growing up...still do. No problem with it whatsoever..BUT, does the Nation's President REALLY have to light up the Whitehouse with rainbow colors to "celebrate" gay marriage? I mean, why put it out there and cram it down people's throats? Hell, why not do away with the term "marriage" all together (...says the woman whose been married 4 times lol)?  How about just calling it a "civil union"..that way there is no bickering about the definition of the word marriage?

What about private businesses? Why can't they choose to server whomever they want? It's their hard work and money that created the business to begin with. If I owned a business, I wouldn't allow people to enter it with their pants hanging below their asses. Who wants to see that? But noooo, that would be descrimiation wouldn't it? SMFH

And let's talk about the Confederate flag. Anyone who remembers history class (when they actually TAUGHT you REAL history in school) knows it has nothing to do with racism. So just because SOME people, for whatever misguided reason, find it "offensive", it should be banned? What if I find the rainbow flag offensive? (..and no, I don't care anymore about flags than the color of someones underwear).  EVERYONE seems to have something they find distasteful. Who gives a rats ass? You can't ban everything.

The old saying comes to mind...You can't please all of the people all of the time. That's my point. It seems now days the people in the minority have more rights than the majority. Rights should be EQUAL. Do what you want as long as you aren't harming anyone. People's feelings get hurt. That's just part of life. Suck it up folks. Not everyone can be a "winner"...get a trophy...Someone always gets the short end of the stick. BFD!

Personally, I find political correctness nauseating. I miss the old days. Before these kind of things were made to be an issue, they weren't. God forbid everyone just get along and accept one another's choices! Oh wait, that's exactly what TPTB don't want! Then it would be us against them!
