I respectfully disagree…I think the sports/cultural wars are perhaps the best way to illustrate the liberal mindset about the serious stuff…..
Political Correctness is applied as liberals see fit. It is forbidden to offend ANYONE, unless of course they’re Christian, or conservative, or whatever suits their need.
As an alumnus of Illinois I am totally ticked off that the Seminole mascot is okay with the NCAA but Chief Illiniwek is not. The Chief has been portrayed very respectfully in the same way it appears that the Seminole portrayal has been. It’s interesting that you pointed out that the Seminole tribe that gave them a vote of confidence isn’t even totally legit.
I either wish that we could find enough Illini tribe members to hold a vote or that we could get Notre Dame to drop their totally derogatory “Fighting Irish” moniker.
