If hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue, political correctness is the tribute intelligence must pay to ignorance. That's the moral in the controversy between Benedict XVI and radical Muslims, which cooler heads are working to prevent becoming a war between the Vatican and the "religion of peace."

Great article, - and "Good on yer!" to the Aussies

The Australian minister for multiculturalism called his country's Muslim leaders in for tea on Sunday and -- speaking of rioting -- read them the act: "We live in a world of terrorism where evil acts are being regularly perpetrated in the name of your faith," said Andrew Robb, the minister. "And because it is your faith being invoked as justification for these evil acts, it is your problem. You can't wish it away, or ignore it, just because it has been caused by others."

I hadn't heard that one -- chalk up another win for Australia!

I said in another article posted here, bring this guy to the United States and make up a cabinet post for him. We NEED more people like this, many more.

This is a GREAT all purpose line to use whenever someone hits you with some politically correct verbal assault.

....On the other hand ..it might not work .... because if they are politically correct, they are probably so dumb that they won't recognize that you have just called them an ignorant dufus.

Great read. Thanx for posting it.

You can't talk about some things because ignorant people might misunderstand, so it's safer to keep the conversation low and dumb.

That would describe Wes Pruden's entire career in the face of political correctness, more particularly in the face of the left's white hating, West hating, genocidal racism. That is the real issue, one this bought-off phony has never had a thing to say about. Does this "conservative" advocate a moratorium on Muslim immigration to the U.S. and the West, yes or no?
