ORIGINAL: bounty44 ive not been following the thread intimately, so this might have already been said, but even so, its probably worth repeating. two things go on with the perpetually offended. one is a sort of self-infantilizing. since we don't have a right to not be offended, its a self centered way of saying the world has to change in order to adapt to my inability to be a grown-up. secondly, and this flows from the first, its an attempt to control and stifle speech. My first thoughts when reading that were about McCarthy and the HUAC. Hmm. except that we actually did have communists here in the country in positions of power in the government who were either supporting, or working for the soviet union. if the left will finally just acknowledge that, then they could give up the McCarthy bashing, say they were sorry, and move on to something else... So you got McCarthy as an American Hero ? Not Mt.Rushmore level though,right ? A cut rate hero at best,no ? Apologize to McCarthy....no,I don't think so
