Stick and Stones

The old saying states, “Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” Once again, liberals have proved tradition wrong. To liberals, adultery, drug abuse, alcoholism, being inconsiderate, loud, and obnoxious when you are a liberal public figure, showing disrespect to women, and showing complete disrespect to police are excusable actions, but you had better not say anything that is even remotely disrespectful about a minority group or homosexuals. If you listen to hip hop music, you will hear continuous derogatory and hateful comments, which to liberals is okay; they say it is the artists’ right to free speech, does not hurt those to which it is directed, and that music does not affect the behavior of those who hear it. However, they also say you do not have the right to say anything derogatory about minorities or homosexuals since the words could hurt the feelings of those in those groups and that the words could affect the behavior of those who hear them and cause them to do harm to people in those groups. Therefore, if you say anything derogatory about one of those groups, you must be severely punished. Case in point is the recent comment by Hawaii football coach Greg McMackin who, while talking about last year's bowl blowout loss to Notre Dame, called the Irish team dance a "fagot dance." There was media uproar and he was suspended for 30 days. Calling a person who eats meat a murderer, calling Christians hate mongers, calling President Bush an idiot, etc. is okay, just don’t’ call them a fagot.
