I never thought that I would see a time when the constitution
was so despised. . my lively imagination just couldn't
get there. . this is amazing. . How About The MacroAggression
of hating the U.S. and its constitution??? -- j

Well, let's see . . .

Objectivists and libertarians are minorities.

Socialists, environmentalists and social conservatives, among others, say things that Objectivists and libertarians deem offensive.

Therefore . . .

This is precisely the problem with this country with people giving up their right to disagree with one another or even to exercise their hard earned, 1st Amendment rights! The young have become brainwashed within an inch of their lives by idiots spouting this brainless, moronic, Feelgood" political correctness drivel! Perhaps it is time that folks (not only the young and impressionable but also the old and foolish) wake up and start protecting those freedoms that really matter. Hurt feelings (especially when "unvarnished" Truths are being shared) do not count for anything of substance!

The Founding Fathers wished to form a new nation that would avoid the tyranny of a royal class so they made it a republic to avoid the tyranny of the majority as in a pure democracy. What they failed to take into account would be a politically correct age that embraces the tyranny of the minority. Here it is.

Perhaps we should ban minorities that offend our right to Free Speech...

I recently re read "Anthem". It is truly disturbing how politically correct speech and thought lead civilization in that direction.

From the Constitution Amendment #1. " or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press." There is nothing else that needs to be said. I grew up being called a "Square Head", so what. Now if I call a black person by the N word I'm bad but they can call me "Honky".

OK, I'm a white male, which is a minority now days. Does that mean the gov should ban speech that offends me? For example yesterday afternoon I channel hopped onto a scene that was a humorous video of two young white guys from England doing a skit on a long greeting "ritual". It turned out to be a funny video show where a panel gets to vote on the funniest video. There were three people on this particular panel, black male, what seemed to be a white female, and a white male. The black male was asked to comment on the video and vote accordingly. His comment was "what's to say about two stupid white guys that don't know what they are doing". The laugh track was turned up and everybody seemed to think it was a funny and insightful assessment. I wondered what the reaction would have been if the video was produced by two young black guys and the white male panelist quipped "what would you expect from a couple of stupid black guys that don't know what they are doing". In these PC times, I guess slapping white guys around is just plain hilarious.

AND...who determines what's offensive?
My grandkids are so-called Millennials. They are not that stupid. I concede that people under 25 have some learning to do since their brains are still not fully formed, but this is utterly over the line, now that I think about it, from stupid to psychotic.

The Constitution was written for those times when >50% (>>40%) want to go after unpopular speech, guns, religious/ethnic groups, etc.

I've invented a new term to describe what people who are at least 1,000 times MORE sensitive than those who object to Microaggressions don't like...

NANOaggressions.

I've had it with this shit. This microaggression crap is like the ultimate anti-bullying campaign... anyone who claims to be microaggressed will file a lawsuit or try to enact a fucking law to prevent Anyone, Anywhere, Any Time from saying or doing Anything which they Might Find Offensive.

Thus legalizing paralysis of any and all individual actions or speech.

If THAT isn't a signal of The End Is Near, what the fuck is?

No offense, but screw the Washington Times and its incessant pop up, pop over, pop under and annoying ADS!

Well, that's what happens with the kind of educa-
tional system we have. About time public educa-
tion was abolished nationwide (or, if that is not
feasible, state by state). Leonard Peikoff once said
something about statists' trying to take over in a
"coup d'ecole".

I think white, freedom loving males are a minority, aren't they? Can we shut up all the others?

This is what is being taught in our schools! The basic tenets of freedom must now become subserviant to the dictates of power; the free expression of ideas and debate are lost on these people who do not wish to be challenged and made to think out a rational position. There will be a country of sheep without a shepherd when these people come to power.

keep in mind they are products of government schools.
never have been given the opportunity to learn to think.

Too bad. They are dead wrong. This will not fly.

But when certain minorities put out statements offensive to minorities not on the approved list, it is ok!
