SO there is a sheriff in Georgia whom is an idiot?
The only people that have a serious problem with 'politically correctness' seem to be those that do not understand when and when not to use it. Its like being professional. There is a time to be a keystone cop, and a time to be a paid law enforcement official. That this idiot can not figure that out, should inform those around him to seek a new sheriff!
Everyone with traditional values is an idiot ?
Did I say "Everyone with traditional values is an idiot?
*NO*
I stated:
"SO there is a sheriff in Georgia whom is an idiot?"
That implies I'm talking about someone specific. Perhaps if you took some time to read rather than assume, you might have understood the concept.

I am not a Christian at all, but if someone says merry Christmas to me I say "Same to you". Christmas is a chosen, defined national holiday. It is not the real date even, some Pope chose it to appease the "heathens" they were trying to "save".
Yet this sheriff is trying to push that Christianity is the only acceptable religion for that town. This would be in full violation of the US Constitution. If this idiot is willing to violate state, federal, and Constitutional law; I would NOT wish to live there. Sooner or later, some lawsuit will place this sheriff's moronic actions as the final reason why the town lose several $$$ in court costs. In my town (which is pretty conservative) the head of the police force would not have gotten as far as putting up the sign before he was fired! That should show how little over sight exists on the law enforcement in that town in Georgia!

And figuring it out ? Nobody can figure it out because it makes no sense. If this keeps up it will be politically incorrect to flunk a kid on a test for getting the answers wrong.
What does flunking a kid due to bad answers on some unspecified test have to do with this sheriff?

Bias against those lacking knowledge. That is what gets the politically correct out of trouble because they try to make everything a fucking insult.
No, its called 'making a good argument' that sways people to one's viewpoints. Hitler did it very well in Nazi Germany. Would you call Hitler a 'Politically Correct' individual?
Political correctness is the dirty and ugly phrase for 'Being Professional". Does the police officer tell you that your kid is an idiot to your face? No. That's called being professional. Its also 'Politically Correct' action to take.

If I say for example that YOU are too dumb to know how to tie your shoes you might take offense but you know what ? I CAN PROVE IT.

I've been tying the strong version of the knot. In fact I'm on a BDSM site. I know how to tie many different types of knots. I did not take offense to the guy suggesting or even out-right accusing me of tying an incorrect knot. I simply listen and gave it some thought. That's how rational, intelligent, and reasonable people approach an issue. Its often called 'being professional'. Yes they dirty and ugly phrase is 'Politically Correct'.

DEATH TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ! I will never be politically correct. I will avoid racial slurs but that is about it. That's like calling a guy with a limp a gimp. Actually that last sentence could be politically incorrect but there is no other way to really express it. If I thought about it, maybe. Like calling a bald guy "Curly" ?
Yeah, you go ahead and do that and see how people treat you. I usually approach 'different' and 'unusual' characters in life by maintaining a healthy degree of professionalism. The sort of people that hate being professional or 'politically correct' tend to be mentally/emotionally immature children (in physical adult bodies). You know, what makes up 85% of the conservative base in the nation right now? The ones that could not behave like an adult in the present of the President of the United States?

Yeah, when not to apply political correctness, that would be 100 % of the time. And BTW, you tell them people to go look for a new sheriff I bet they tell you to leave. This is what people do not understand. That guy, and people like Joe Arpiao(sp) in Arizona, they have tremendous popular support. I bet it sticks in your craw that there are so many republican governors in the states. Well that is because the People want it.
If I lived in that town, I would have as much right to my freedom of speech as anyone else. Since I dont live in the state they can ignore things as they like. After that first major lawsuit drains their funding for education, road work, and even essential services; they'll 'wake up and smell the coffee' of what it means to be a professional law enforcement official in 2015 (soon to be 2016). This moron and the sheriff you mention have much support among conservative people. But then, conservative people are more and more within the 'Low Information Voter' group; so they shouldn't be high-five-ing each other just yet! That other sheriff is currently involve in two dozen lawsuits that could unravel everything he has been doing, should things go against him. Are the people of Arizona 'OK' with seeing their taxes rise to pay damages to thousands of people because of this idiot? Only time will tell!

All the liberal lies do not appear well on y'all. Like red states getting more money back from what the feds extorted from their people.
Yeah, because conservatives....never....lie, right? Go check out mediamatters.org, or The Young Turks, or any of fifty organizations that have come into existence to inform people of the facts from the falsehood spread by conservative media over the past twenty years. Red states take more federal dollars than they pay out in taxes each year. This has been shown in many places. That you wish to refuse reality for your fantasy, shows how far you'll lie to yourself.....

That is bullshit because those figures include social security retirement benefits and alot of retirees like to live in those states because they are a nice place to live.
Red states are notorious for low tax rates. Yet there are many services that have to be rendered. All of this eats up tax money. Social Security is not figured into these factors because they go to individuals. Those maps that you see showing 'whom gives the most money and receiving benefits' is between the states and federal government. Do states get social security? No, they are not living entities in quite the way senior citizens are consider for the law.
Yes, Florida can be a nice place to live. Depending on which area of Florida! Then again, Massachusetts is a nice place to live. Depends on where in Massachusetts. People retire to warmer climates has more to do with biology then their wallet!

What's more, by one of the standard metrics, if they are really getting more for infrastructure that means either their congressmen are doing a good job or there is something located in that state that is in the fed''s best interest to support. It is not fucking welfare.
Welfare is defined as "Any money from one entity to another entity whom is worst off in a financial manner". How many states can afford a $3.2 trillion dollar budget? Because that's what the United States handles. Each states, depending on circumstances are given money from the federal government. The manner in which the federal government dools out dollars is based more on a socialistic standard then one based on capitalism. If we went under a capitalism standard, the midwest and south would receive almost nothing. Not to mention most of the red states! New England, California, Texas, Florida, and even those states within 200 miles of Washinton D.C., would be netting the bulk of federal dollars. The states not recieving funds, would slowly because dust bowls of nothing. People would move out of those states, thus, netting fewer dollars in the future.
Yes, its a reality no Republican or Tea Party political operative likes to admit: red states need socialism to survive. One they try to keep away from their voters, because truth and fact shows their bullshit for what it is....

I am not saying republicans are honest, I would NEVER say that. But neither are democrats and liberals.
Last I checked, 'Liberal' is not a political party. There might be a Progressive Party; but that would be different from a 'Liberal Party'. There would be subtle differences.
quote:
ORIGINAL: Termyn8or
I am not mentioning conservatives because we have none. A half a fucking trillion military budget is not conservative. Real conservative means back even before Bunce and Crockett and "Not Yours To Give", it goes back to the founders warning about complex foreign entanglements and their wish to be fairly separatist.
Yeah, well the South lost the war, tough shit!
The founding fathers had many good ideas, and a few bad ones. They were limited to their thoughts, technology, and culture the same as we are today. If modern media existed in the late 18th century, would the people be as 'joined' as the history books try to make things out? Or show some real divisions? There are people in 2015/2016 whom are good thinkers. Very intelligent, skilled, and studied. But no one can trust anyone with power. An that is why the nation is slowly slipping downward. We pay the penalty for distrust. We can 'thank' conservatives for developing this distrust from merely 'distrust the government which is health' to paranoid schizophrenia!
For the record, President Obama in seven years has not taken our guns away. Nor the bibles. Nor enslaved us all. Gas prices are not $8.35 (for month of November of 2015). Nor are we at war with Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and even the Martians! The guy likes to eat bacon burgers. If he's Muslim, he's doing a shitty job of it!

And now "separatist" is a bad word, and if you happen to be White and are a separatist, now the connotation is bigot. So in the spirit of political correctness I demand that nobody ever call anyone a separatist.
There is being politically incorrect to make a good argument. Then there is being politically incorrect because one is an asshole! Trouble is, most Americans approach things from the second sentence rather then the first! An that is why those people get into so much hot water with their community, state, and even the whole nation! People that make politically incorrect states that form good arguments, typically win Pulitzer Prizes, and Nobel's in English/Media.

And those red states, know why there are so many retirees there ? Because they are old and are no longer liberal. Like the kid sees a bum. Wants to give him money. Dad says OK, you can go and work on this and that and when you get done I will give the bum the money you earned. Then the kid says "Why doesn't he just do the work then and you can pay him ?". The Dad smiles knowing that his kid just went from being liberal to normal. (like I said, we have no conservatives)
Hate to break it to you: Just because your old does not mean you stop being liberal. There are plenty of old people that are very liberal. They have seen the ages. They have watched as people suffered and the government did not step in to help out. They watched as selfish assholes (like those making up the majority of the GOP/TP right now) further undermine government's ability to help those most vulnerable and helpless. They past that experience and knowledge to the younger generations very frequently. In fact, being liberal means to be more studied and learned of many subjects; not just politics.
Its a 'knee jerk' reaction to tell some homeless person "get a job!". It shows that person has never stopped and considered that person's challenges. Maybe the guy has problems holding a job? Maybe he is mentally and/or emotional unable to hold a job. Maybe circumstances are so unusual, that person can not have a job. There are intelligent and educated people that are homeless right now. Some of them really do have problems holding a steady job.
A REAL christian would be advocating more federal dollars be spent helping the homeless, the sick, the poor, the vulnerable. Yet, so many in the GOP/TP take steps to attack these very individuals. All the why decreasing the funding meant to help these people in critical moments of their lives. How 'christian' is that? Its like they never heard of the Book of Matthew. Specifically Chapter 25, verses 31-46. Next time you watch those 'christian' people running for the nomination, ask yourself, how many would increase taxes, SOLELY, to combat homelessness in the nation?
Not a single one of them! The "Low Information Voters' do not stop to understand this.

Anyway, people who are cogs in the liberal machine that is going to turn this country into what it was formed to get away from should move to places like Australia, where they are glad to have given up their guns. (they must be putting something in the water)
The single thing that is destroying this nation is IGNORANCE! What made this nation powerful, great, and noble, was because the 'powers that be' wanted this nation's people to be educated. Educated people can accomplish more things, with better efficiency, and less cost; then those whom are ignorant. It helped us overcome the evil doers of the second world war. Enabled us to advance mankind in technology in every field. People would send their children from other nations to ours, just to learn in our schools, colleges, and universities. When people were educated, they made sure to follow government like hawks. They understood how Congress operates. And the Money Market Apparatus. Many could rattle off 'their rights' with specifics.
In 2015 and for the 20-25 years before that, this nation has been gaining more ignorance rather then less. In the one moment in which mankind has the most technology at their finger tips, Americans are dumber than in the 19th century! At one time, we Americans demanded our politicians define how they would over come problems. Now we want to know which one says pretty words that are music to our political ears. Through ignorance, other nations have started pulling ahead of our own. They make technical advances that should have happened in the nation.
For example: Stem Cell Technology. The ignorant masses believed that stem cells could be used to grow humans in a lab. Something that stem cells just could not accomplish (biologically speaking). Yet, the technology held remarkable potential. This nation effectively ban anyone from doing intensive research. So other nations performed the research, and gained the fame for the discoveries.
Clean/Green Energy is at its start. Yet due to ignorance of Americans, other nations are pulling ahead with technology and equipment (reducing the problems of wasteful energy). Because a chunk of ignorant Americans didn't like President Obama, they did all in their power to stop solar, wind, and hydro power from being researched and used. So now other nations are making advances that we should have been making.
The founding fathers were a bunch of liberal thinking people. Conservatives would have sided with the King! That's because many of the actions the founding fathers would take, dealt with the concept of freedom rather than 'lets not rock the boat'. The Boston Tea Party was about a bunch of people that wanted the King of England to take the 13 colonies MORE in taxes rather than less. Because if they were taxed more, they could rightfully demand more troops to protect them. Funny how every Tea Partier of 2015 gets this historical fact incorrect. The original Republican Party was pretty damn liberal. The Republican Party of today looks and feels more like Nazis than a liberal band of free thinkers!
