Political
Correctness
Has It Gone Way Too
Far?
You can't say "Merry Christmas"...now it's "Holiday
Greetings" or even have a Christmas tree...now
it's a Holiday Tree !
Last Easter a Seattle school renamed
Easter eggs....
..."spring spheres"
!
At one school in California, five
students were sent home for...
...wearing shirts that
displayed the American flag on the Mexican holiday of "Cinco de Mayo"
!
Recently Chris Matthews of MSNBC
suggested that...
... it is "racist" for
conservatives to use the word, "Chicago" !
Hey all you retired military
individuals...Have you seen these yet ?
The draft leaked
to the newspaper offers a list of “taboo conversation topics” that soldiers
should avoid, including “making derogatory comments about the Taliban"
“advocating women’s rights,” “any criticism of pedophilia,” “directing any
criticism towards Afghans,” or “anything related to
Islam.”
Any California lawyers out there? This
one's for you !
An illegal
immigrant applying for a law license in California should be allowed to receive
it, according to the State Bar of California...
The California
State Supreme Court said...
"____
has met the rules for admission, including passing the bar exam and the moral
character review, and his lack of legal status in the United States should not
automatically disqualify him".
And in the City by the Bay....next time you have a
small kid relative wanting to go the local library to do some research for a
school report...
San Fransicso, authorities have installed small
plastic "privacy screens" on library computers so that "PEOPLE" can continue to
exercise their constitutional rights to watch pornography at the library without
children being DIRECTLY exposed to it.
Any of you have grandchildren attending a college in the state of Washington? When you pay the tuition...keep this one in
mind....especially if that grandchild happens to be
female...
A Washington college said their
non-discrimination policy prevents them from stopping a transgender man from
exposing himself to young girls inside a women’s locker room, according to a
group of concerned parents.
Speaking of the state of
Washington....
Government workers in Seattle
have been told that they should no longer use the words "citizen" and "brown
bag" because they are potentially
offensive.
Your federal government's use of tax
dollars....
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against
criminals...because it has a disproportionate impact on
minorities.
You
can't say TAX...
...now it's "revenue
enhancement"
Has it gone to a point where this
nation has gone " mashugana"?
Or is using that Jewish word meaning
CRAZY racist as well ?
We can't forget the
sporting world.
Anyone from Cleveland?
About about that major league baseball
team you've been calling the "Indians" since
1913?
You people from D.C.....that pro
football team you've had the audacity of calling the "Redskins" since 1932 ?
Shame on all of you
!
But now...something else...we here in
Las Vegas have recently been attacked for being "politically incorrect" as
well.
Recognize this
guy?
It's "Beauregard"...the mascot of the Las Vegas "Runnin'
Rebels".
Beau's been around since 1955...
...but..in June of this year...
...Senator Harry Reid, the former US Senate Majority Leader...came the
conclusion...
His name had to go !
He's a Confederate General...and that means
he had taken on the title of TRAITOR
!
How about that?
Referring to those men of the Southern states who died during the Civil
War in that manner !
How short the memories we must have.....for some reason, those men who
fought for our independence in 1776 were considered
patriots...
...but those who fought for their southern independence are now referred
to as traitors ?
I guess it's all in who won and who lost, isn't it
!
What happened as a result?
It took a PAID 60 page
report...to determine, "Old Beau" was not a member of that "traitorous"
element of society.
He was just "good old Beau"...and he's staying
put to entertain all the fans at basketball and football games for years to
come...hopefully eternitiy !
And...this one's for you, Beau...
I'm sure going to miss, Harry's wisdom, aren't
you?
Got any other examples of "political correctness" you'd like to share
with us?

A correction.
The posted notice is a "Demand to Clear a Liability" not an eviction notice.
They have 5 days to clear the liability.
If they don't, then it becomes an eviction.
Truth is we all lose, reality is we could have lost less.
Hand writing on the wall was when Vic took his name off of everything and Café V was left to wither.
If common sense prevailed, approving the reduction in operating hours and cutting the menu in half (literally) was the point of no return.
Thank goodness we have Buckman's Grill, and Lord help us with self management headed by this Board.
