CENSORED

As our nation continues to redefine the American dream or nightmare, depending upon where you are in the plan, we have also come to the realization that redefinition raises new questions and stands. For nearly every attempt at freedom of expression, there is someone that is offended and therefore feels the need for censorship. Is anyone noticing how confining this "being offended" is making our entire society? We have activists from every represented group and both sides of each issue calling for either freedom of expression or censorship. Because, when it gets right down to the brass tacks, censorship is being redefined, right along with freedom. The moral majority; and that is what they are now according to the last election, sees the need to determine right and wrong for everyone. And they have not so graciously taken on that task. We have preachers condemning cartoons for implied sexual content or association and I never heard one address the issue of violence or magic in cartoons. I have said for years, there is a promotion of the occult with Disney, but that's major programming for the family channel. And even though the "red states" are offended at "politically correct," try disagreeing with them about their politics. To disagree with the present administration is not "politically correct" and seems almost illegal in some states. Oh, that's right, you can't even lead another country and disagree with our administration. Is there a clearer definition of Political Correctness?
Now, before the blue state partiers get too smug, the extreme liberals are really doing their own type of censorship. If one person gets offended by something that is displayed or said, it is grounds for legal recourse, call the ACLU, and . . . Who calls that freedom? In the name of free speech, have we considered how many things are no longer politically correct to say? A politically correct society is absolutely living and speaking under constant, continual Censorship.
My husband and I are personally related to "non-moderates of both political parties and I have noticed they all sound the same. It is no safer to disagree with a liberal than it is to disagree with a conservative. And I am not a member of any political party and I will be the first to admit, these blogs are definitely opinionated. Free speech is supposed to be the right to say something, even if everyone else thinks it's stupid. You know, we here in America, need to take notice of that. We are getting dangerously close to declaring it illegal to do something stupid and/or selfish, and that will affect all of us. It used to be we could simply "consider the source." But that was before the days it was politically correct to to redefine the word Censored.
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
