Cap, it wouldn't be so bad if all it was just "attempts" to erode freedom. The problem is that they are succeeding in eroding your freedoms on a daily basis, beyond their wildest dreams.

Just look at two recent events of "racism" involving Clive Bundy and the owner of the Clippers. I am not getting into whether or not these men made "racist" statements or hold "racist" views. I don't really care if they do or not.

Let's assume they do hold these views, and they express them. So what? Have the thoughtcrime statutes been passed? Is free speech illegal? And, what should the punishment be for such a crime? Loss of all rights and property, of course.

Truly, the United States has descended into a perfect hell of political correctness run amok. Say the wrong thing and lose everything.

The question is, why haven't Louis Farakhan, Jesse Jackson, Snoop? Dog?, Obama, Holder, Al Sharpton and on and on lost everything?

What we are reaching in this country is a banning of prejudicial views. To me not all prejudices are bad.

For example if I go out in my driveway and there is a dog there and he looks friendly I would go and pat him.

Because of my prejudice against coyotes, if I saw a coyote in my driveway I would not try to befriend it.
Now some would say that is not a good analogy because people are different than animals.
But my life experiences and documentation show to me some groups of people and neighborhoods are more dangerous to me than others. -Tom
