Some things just don’t change.
Feeling silenced and being silenced are two different things, Jug Ears. Political correctness has been taken to the level of taking action against un-PC speech. Ask Imus.
This sounds exactly like him and is something in common with my teenager children: “She did it to me first”
Dear Leader is happy with the result that Chavez got re-elected.
Doh ! Wrong thread :(
On this thread, I do remember the P.C. movement of the early 1990’s and remembered reading about int even in the late 1980’s. In the ‘80’s, it was mostly on the East Coast.
