I've been thinking about the firings after the McKinney incident. We've become so infested with politically correct liberal BS that people can't give any opinion, no matter how well thought out or polite, that goes against the liberal orthodoxy, without fear of not only criticism, but violence or firing.
This has been building for awhile, but I see a cognitive tyranny now that I've never seen before. It makes me concerned the country is already lost to progressivism and is on the road to self-destruction.
The Boomers won't suffer like their kids and grandkids will. It begins with the voters who put a known unknown (barry soetero) into office. Sadly, while many of them have wised up to the terrible mistake they made, it's too late. I do believe the country is lost (what America was envisioned to be by our Founding Fathers) and is drifting into 3rd world status with rich and poor (mostly poor) with almost no middle class save for government workers. Meanwhile, the homosexuals, illegals, and useless are cheering it on. Sadly, they won't like what happens next. Neither will the other 200 million or so Americans who let it come to this.

Are you taking about the racist teacher , or the principal ?
either way, its flawed logic especially when arguing political correctness.
That's what people thought before WWII. If we vote for politicians who actually take seriously their oath to defend the Constitution, we'll be just fine. Look at how far Libertarians have quickly come in the last few years. More than 1/2 of voters now call themselves Independents. These things scare the snot out of the progressive left, and certainly both of the parties as well.
I disagree; looking at the scene today I see much reason for optimism. Liberals are losing ground everywhere we look. They find themselves in a corner where they have to back an aging candidate who is known for raking in money from Wall Street. Hillary Clinton's Big Paydays From Goldman Sachs | RealClearPolitics
GOP by contrast has a plethora of young talent. Mia Love, Elise Stefanik, Joni Ernst, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and many others are representative of the coming conservative tide. We have only just begun to fight.

so what, you have a problem with lower unemployment, low crime rates,etc?
What is lost by any definition?
the per capita homicide rate is lower than anytime during the Regan years so please. . .spare me.
Or are you just upset you can't make fun of homosexuals and blacks anymore at work?
Seriously - i'll take a more socially equal and safer country thank you very much
If the "we" you are referring to are disaffected white reactionaries, you haven't lost yet but you're getting there.
