The ad shown below deeply offends ME.
No, NOT because the ad uses some politically incorrect words for various “diverse” groups, words that the left has bullied us into considering taboo.
I don’t give a rat’s patootie about something so trivial as politically incorrect vocabulary that might hurt some poor little crybaby’s feelings. Matter of fact, I hate crybabies.
Not Acceptable R-word PSA
I am very rarely tempted to indulge in a good rant. I’m as good at inflammatory rhetoric as anybody can be, but I normally deliver my invective with ice water in my veins.
Today will be an exception.
So here goes…
In the video above, the politically-correct thought police have just warned us that the word retarded is now taboo.
I don’t care whether the “Spread The Word To End The Word” campaign has a valid point or not – I am NOT having any self-appointed Gestapo telling me what I am allowed to think and to say, and that’s that!
What’s the result of all of this “diversity” guilt-tripping? Do you think it makes people like each other all of a sudden? No, it just creates an overpowering flood of pent-up rage in people who hate to be told what to do and what to think.
But very few people have the courage to tell the thought police where to go.
Who are the socially acceptable targets?
That flood of pent-up rage at being ordered to pay lip service to “diversity” has to go somewhere. There is always a group or two that are left out of the “diversity” mix on purpose, to provide a safety valve in the form of a socially acceptable target for demonization. Since the 1990s, the main targets in the US have been Slavs, with Russians and Serbs targeted in particular, and, of course, white people who live in the South. I end up in both categories, and whether anybody likes it or not, I am fighting back.
For more than two decades, the Serbian nation and people have been subjected to an unending parade of groundless accusations and truly unspeakable blood libels. As a direct result of those deliberate lies, Serbs have been thrown off their land, imprisoned, tortured, maimed, killed, and even butchered for their organs. Do you seriously expect me to care because somebody might call you a NAME?
If you, or your friends, cheered or dropped bombs when your government made war on my people, and if you still do nothing while one president after another persecutes and abuses my people – and yes, they are my people – don’t waste your time telling me why I should care about what anybody calls YOU.
How that video helps our ENEMIES
Every form of political correctness gives ammunition to the Muslim Brotherhood and its front groups, who are doing all they can to censor, and even to criminalize, any criticism of Islam or of Muslims.
Yoo-hoo, CAIR, you will NEVER shut me up! I am far from alone, you are our ENEMIES, and you are going DOWN!
Banning the words that identify stupidity
“Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the universe.” – Albert Einstein
“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.” – Albert Einstein
According to the video, we are to be condemned for using the word “retarded” to describe stupid behavior. Next, they’ll be telling us that we can’t even use the word “stupid” to describe stupid behavior. By stopping us from recognizing and putting a name to stupidity when we encounter it, these thought police would render us helpless to combat it. Shame on them for destroying the English language in their Orwellian attempt to eliminate the words and concepts that describe reality.
Do these bozos seriously think they can banish human stupidity and inadequacy simply by censoring the word retarded? The word came from the phrase mental retardation, which used to be the accepted term for what is now called developmental delay – which means the same thing anyway.
As soon as people start getting angry about the new term developmentally delayed, we’ll see yet another PSA telling us not to use it, and they’ll have to coin some other euphemism. Stupidity is a fact of life, it affects everybody, and the only difference is that some of us aren’t that way all of the time. If you can’t deal with that, then it’s easy to see which category YOU fit into!

Was that video meant to stop us from saying – or even realizing – how stupid Obama is?
We, the people of the United States, have a president, Barack Hussein Obama, who simply does not have, and never will have, the mental candlepower to function normally in the real world without 24×7 care on the part of various “handlers.” He can’t even call his dog without looking at a Teleprompter. We are not supposed to come out and say that he is mentally deficient, but in his case, it applies.
Why does Ubama have such a big scar on his head? Just askin’.
Our badly-educated and media-manipulated voting public has elected a president who, for whatever reason, can’t think on his own. His handlers – all of them prominent leftists – have been with him from the beginning. They made sure that he had all of the funding and the outside help and “influence” that he needed to get through college and law school, but of course we don’t get to see his school transcripts or medical records. He has never served in the military, nor has he needed to support himself by doing any real work.
Those handlers chose Obama, not in spite of his deficiencies, but because of them. He was, and is, amenable to their control. He is too dense to comprehend that anything could be wrong with what they want him to do. He may be dimly aware that there is a difference between right and wrong, but he learned early on to prefer wrong. He makes gaffe after gaffe after gaffe, and he can just barely manage to read his Teleprompter aloud, but at least his handlers can be sure that he won’t go rogue all of a sudden.
It sure seems mighty suspicious to me that this ad is coming out just after there has been a spate of complaints, in the blogosphere and elsewhere, that this president is anything but the genius that his media shills made him out to be.
I would call Obama and his handlers what they are, but no language in the world has words bad enough to describe them.
And that’s that.
Addendum:
After having posted this on 1389 Blog, I sent out an email to inform many people on my own mailing list that I have put up a blog post that not only would be sure to offend many people, but also might cause them to face some anger and blame on account of being associated with me. I did get some “negative feedback” myself, not all of it printable, but then, it isn’t a bad idea to prune my blogroll and mailing list every so often.
Most people on Blogmocracy are aware that I myself know a thing or two about brain damage. In fact, I refer to myself as brain damaged, because it is true. I will not use some other term for it, even though it upsets my stepdaughter when I say it. Some years back, I was in a car accident (hit by a semi), followed by brain surgery (Chiari decompression and repair of cervical stenosis). For several months, I had practically no short-term memory at all. I still struggle with poor memory and coordination issues. It’s a lot better than it was, but it’s still a problem. There are a lot of things that I am never going to be able to do, but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
I am infertile myself, so I don’t have the experience of giving birth to anyone. That said, I am opposed to aborting unborn children, whether on account of Down’s Syndrome or anything else.
I am also opposed to the Obama Administration’s rationing of health care to the elderly, with the stealth implementation of “death panels” that will be sure to follow. Both my grandmothers died after long periods of senile dementia. One of them reportedly committed suicide, but given the fact that I was but three years old at the time, I cannot be sure about what actually took place.
Having suffered from severe and sometimes exceedingly painful neurological impairments myself, I will say that any form of neurological impairment is tragic for everyone involved. That does not mean that we cannot love people who have such impairments, only that it would be far easier for everyone if such were not the case.
Sugar-coating the terminology does not help anything. And if we have a president who is not fit to handle that type of job, the citizenry needs to confront that issue, and the sooner the better.
