More Political Correctness

With regard to Political Correctness, I would like to make a suggestion or two. If we're going to live under the threat of a law suit when or if we use the politically incorrect words to describe or identify a particular group, why don't we just go ahead and invent new words that have the same meaning?

Let's take the word "Femme-Nazi".

I don't know if Rush Limbaugh invented it but I assume that somebody did so out of need. There was a time in this Country when accusing someone of being a Nazi, would produce a group of G men doing recon work around some one's house, following their every move and hoping to arrest another Nazi while they were working hard to rid the Country of crap like that. I like the word Femme-Nazi. I think most of us see it as a proper description of some bitch that acts like a Socialist but plays like they're a real American.

As I think about these things, I think about the other politically correct demands upon our language. I recently saw a film clip of a speech given by the Muslim Brotherhood at some college in California. The speaker, Soontobededd Ababba, stated in no uncertain terms that he wanted the press to "Stop Calling Them Suicide Bombers".

Well now, isn't that interesting. What would you call someone who straps a bomb to his or her chest and then kills themselves in the middle of a crowd of people while managing to kill as many of those people as possible? Sounds like suicide bombers to me but I will admit that we probably need to make a change to suicide murderers or something like that..

I could go on an on about the words. Whether it's the N word or other words like Muslim terrorists, Islamaphobia or anything else related to that group, most likely, you would get in trouble if you use it at the wrong time and the wrong place. As I continue to think about how screwed up that is, I always go back to the studies of Maximilian Weber.

Max was a pretty smart guy and he did a lot of study about "Cults". One of the things I remember about his conclusions surrounded the fact that people don't like to be called Cult members. Can you imagine that? Charles Manson's group was called the Manson Family and his members damn sure didn't want to be referred to as a cult.

Remember Jim Jones and the cool aide drinkers? How about Heaven's Gate or something close to that? Nazi, Commie, White Supremacists, Black Panthers and a few other Cult members should be changed to the STBD Cult or "Soon to be deported". You see, STBD is pretty close to STD which is a politically correct initial for Sexually Transmitted Disease. Wait a minute. Do you think that STD might have a connection with STBD? Why not? Somebody produced the STBD group and they had to do that sexually. Aren't STBD types a disease of some sort?

That idea has produced a thought about another blog post or maybe even a film clip. I'll just stop here and see about spending a little time in history to share what happened when a bad guy has sex with a bad woman and produces another bad guy. Ain't nothin' better than submittin' some of that scientific proof stuff when you gotta make a point. See ya in a bit.
