Political Correctness (PC) Run Amock You Say?





Here is an email sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning changing the name of the Washington Redskins.

Dear Mr. Page...

I always love your articles. and I generally agree with them. I would suggest, as in an email I received, they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to liberals.
Here’s some other political correctness to consider: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward. Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.

The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk.

The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives.

I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.

Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!

Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.

The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children.

The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates . Wrong message to our children.

The Milwaukee Brewers---well that goes without saying . . . Wrong message to our children.

So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing liberal Democrats love . . .

As a die hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers."

HOLY E-MAIL






One day God was looking down at earth and
saw all of the rascally retirees' behavior that was going on...


So He called His angels and sent one to earth for a time.



When the angel returned, he told God,'Yes, it is bad on earth;
95% of retirees are misbehaving and only 5% are not.

God thought for a moment and said, 'Maybe I had better send
down a second angel to get another opinion.'



So God called another angel and sent her to earth for a time.


When the angel returned, she went to God and said, 'Yes, it's true.
The earth is in decline; 95% of retirees are misbehaving, but 5% are
being good...'

God was not pleased.




So He decided to e-mail the 5% who were good, because he wanted
to encourage them, and give them a little something to help them
keep going. Do you know what the e-mail said?

Okay, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one either.

This is an incredible video. All peace loving human beings should have to listen to this. I am forwarding this to all in my address book.


Not only is this woman quick on
her feet, she is also accurate and factual.
