Right you are. It has caused me great frustration to see people who consider themselves Conservatives, who say they believe in the Constitution, be critical of a voice in the woods who relentlessly has been trying to expose the truth. I guess being a birther wasn’t/isn’t politically correct. Gag me
“I guess being a birther wasn’t/isn’t politically correct”
You know, that phrase, “politically correct” grew up to describe a situation where words and actions weren’t being judged upon whether they’re right or wrong, but upon what answer gives the most power to particular groups. But it so happens that some PC-cops actually believe what they’re saying. Some think it’s wrong to say the word “retard” regardless of how they can use retards to push their favored political agenda.
It isn’t appropriate to say such people are motivated by political correctness. Likewise, it’s not appropriate to say that most conservatives don’t support birtherism because it’s politically incorrect. They do so because they think it’s impractical, a losing issue, and so on, but also because it’s wrong.
