Winners Ought Not Be Whiners

although this may appear to be a response to gideon's declaration of independence from euphemism Link, it's actually something i've been meaning to do for a while, and owes its inspiration more to a recent flurry of rants, screeds and harangues by some strident self-proclaimed voices of the sorely oppressed majority.

as strange as this may seem, i feel a strong connection to--if not an actual bond with--of all people, moses. i'm almost positive i know now how he felt upon seeing his traveling companions fanatically worshipping a gleaming golden calf, mindless of the fact they'd created the object they were then venerating as god.

i grieve for moses.  if only he'd been given a dictionary along with the tablets,  he might not have felt the need to make such a big scene, opting instead to wait for a break in the action at which time he coulda imposed upon one of the idolators to see for himself why that particular statue could not--by definition--be a god.

i may not have been to the mountaintop, but i am able to access a whole buncha dictionaries and i invite yall to take a moment to do the same in hopes you'll be able to assure yourselves that, by definition, representatives, advocates and supporters of the prevailing political philosophy are themselves collectively the politically correct.

conversely, those who do not represent the majority view and/or are unable to persuade 1 more than 50% of voting citizens to agree with their take on things are...politically uncorrect. 

thus, karl rove is the reigning prince of political correctness which has worked to the benefit of his politically correct clientele who now govern the nation by virtue of their own publicly approved political correctness.

suffice to say your impassioned demands to conduct yourselves without regard to the feelings of others--or to proudly be overtly insulting and boorish--are sorta disingenuous at best. 

i could go on and on here, but instead i'll simply offer one final example of the sort of confusion in which yall are indulging yourselves. 

when something is less than good, it's commonly purported to 'suck'.  in fact, not sucking is the less preferred state is it not?  same sorta reverse logic in action.

wake up white people.

pcism almost sounds like the backhandedly correct way of describing pc don't it?


Actually it was a forehanded way to make fun of Political Correctness. ;~D

i find the whole thing both amusing and disturbing. my point is that what was once considered politically correct (and may have been at the time) is--in the minds of a good many people it would appear--frozen in time.

those who seem to have the most difficulty with the concept are alligned with the prevailing political mindset and are therefore themselves the forces of political correctness.


It's the nature of euphemistic-speaking. Euphemisms/politically correct speech change the names of the conditions, not the conditions themselves. Words like dummy, retard, or mentally challenged can all be used to describe the same condition--a less than desireable condition for your typical human being. When one term becomes part of the vernacular, it's not unlikely that the term will "pejorize" over time, and thus require a new euphemism.

It usually does boil down to the "Victim=Respect" syndrome. In the modern world, especially the Western world, acquiring victimhood status is a very potent way to achieve desired political goals. Why do so many groups seek to brand their experience of oppression as the worst? What was worse, black slavery, or the Holocaust? Can the Armenians jump in here? Israel is an apartheid state, Bush=Hitler. Who can garner the most sympathy points?

Too bad I must go now. Have a nice day, folks.

It all comes down to my old saying "Victim = Respect". Those who can most successfully paint themselves as "victim" get to decide what is PC and what isn't. Those who aren't victims, must be victimizers, so shouldn't get to decide anything.

Go ahead, put "victim=respect" to any test where one person or group is vying for the upper hand (or is that the lower hand) in the PC planet.

That put it a lot better and clearer than I did.

Here's a thought: how about the term "American"? Seems to fit.


Or "people"
