The new PC culture

... Everything from insufficiently Christmassy Starbucks coffee cups to Budweiser ads to Kermit the Frog’s lack of trousers seems to cause an outpouring of outrage ... A survey by Public Policy Polling found “very conservative” Americans were more than twice as likely to be personally offended by someone saying “Happy holidays” to them (21%) as “very liberal” respondents to be offended by someone saying “Merry Christmas” (10%) to them ... Last year, the American football player Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem to protest against racism. This caused distress to many “patriots” ... Trump is, of course, king of the snowflakes, flying into a rage at any hint of criticism ...

1. They rail against

so-called political correctness until the target is them, then all of a sudden they get their feelings hurt. Ironically enough, many of them have problems with politically-incorrect things such as rap music and people refusing to stand for the anthem, like this article mentioned. Every time I hear one of them complain about "PC culture", I just roll my eyes and think "not this shit again".

3. The conservatives rail against being PC, so they should be called the racist, sexist, xenophobic,

homphobic bigoted fascists that they are.

It's only respecting their wishes...
