Don't PC me!

conservative
I have always disliked the term "Politically Correct."  I don't think this term has a true assigned meaning any more.  After all, politicians tend to be liars and rarely correct.  In debate, politically correct takes on multiple meanings; to be correct, would imply a right answer in a discussion regarding opinion.  Debate also requires proper use of language in terms of being politically correct; I certainly would not use the N-word in a political debate! (Or, at all, for that matter!)  Our language has also been distorted by being "PC". English is commonly misused in an attempt to be PC that most no longer know the true meanings of words.  Even our sense of humor has been destroyed by PC terms and uses. How is this really a country for Freedom of Speech, if our speech has become so filtered that discussion becomes lost in a sea of half truths?

Foreign Policy Takes on a Whole New Meaning

I am no foreign policy expert, but I don't need to be in this case.  What, on earth, were President Obama and John Kerry doing?  We now lack the leverage to do ANYTHING with the US prisoners in Iran.  We also just sacrificed two of the few allies we had in the Middle East. After all, allowing Iran all but free reign in the nuclear sphere makes war between Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Iran nearly guaranteed.

We reap what we sow.  Electing a foreign policy rookie, as it is, just guaranteed that the Middle East will collapse back into war.  And, unless we step in, it is highly likely that Israel will be wiped off the map.  A majority of Americans will not stand for this.  And, rightly so, we will need to step in and defend them against Iran.
