#1 Pollitical correctness must, at least, be payed it's due. Bow down then cross yourself. Once consecrated, sky's the limit.

#2 There's one at least (actually a bloody lot of people).

Is there a limit as to how much PC shit a people can stand?, in the UK we're someway behind the curve here, can any US RantBurgers reassure me that this Orwellian nightmare is about to end?

#7 Tony, the only answer is for all of us, in our countries, to stand up and say we won't put up with this crap anymore.

And, if it gets bad, we may need to join forces in a single country to have a decent life. Come on over if you like - maybe we can save the States.

#8 Good speech. But I like Admiral S. Woodwards' speech to the fleet before entering the Falklands Exclusion Zone. Essentially boiled down to "We told you at the recruiting office this might happen... you took the money, get ready to fight."

#9 raptor, TOIT,
I read a lot of US-based blogs (too many to mention), and get a general sense that the US people are getting fed up of the worst excesses of PC stupidity. Its not anything I can put my finger on, just an inkling - I'd hoped some RBers could give me some anecdotes on destroying the lies and deceit involved in PC thinking! :)

As to over here, we're lumbered with a Socialist government that is determined to give our country to unelected EU officials whilst at the same time creating 'hate speech' laws passed with no dissent.

But, we muddle on...
