America-on the Spiraling Downward Path, Part 10

Political Correctness is Killing America, by Tony Kalna Jr.

Political correctness is the Achilles heel of the USA. It is a weakness that we created ourselves, and one that is taking our nation on a one-way trip to self-destruction. It is quickly dissolving America’s moral fiber, taking away our sovereignty, and turning our country into a melting pot of disaster. Political correctness is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, ready to devour the very nation that created this bizarre concept. It is high time Americans stop tolerating the concept of tolerance and start standing up for what we believe in and what this country was founded on – Christian values.
Somewhere along the line, it has become wrong to call the national holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas. Instead of Christmas, it is called "Winter Holiday". It is illegal to display a nativity scene depicting the birth of Christ on most public properties and on some privately owned land in America. In some instances, it has become illegal to display the Ten Commandments in courtrooms and on some government properties. The words, 'In God We Trust', have been taken off the front of our one dollar coin and placed inconspicuously on the edge of the coin.
When I was growing up, we said the Pledge of Allegiance each morning before class began at school. Many schools today no longer allow this because the Pledge includes the words "one nation, under God."
Prayer is often banned from schools and sporting events because groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) say it’s imposing on the rights of those who don’t believe in God.
These are just a few of the many examples of the politically correct movement that has somehow overtaken our country. It is a corrosive concept that is eating away at our nation’s heart and soul….Why is it wrong to bring God into anything in America any more? …It is wrong that we have allowed homosexuality to sweep across our nation. We don’t have to embrace this lifestyle, it is wrong. Consider that in a public school in Denver, Colorado, a boy who didn’t know his own sexual identity came back to school the next year as a girl. The school decided to accommodate the other students with counselors to help them understand and cope with this alternative lifestyle! …Political correctness is brainwashing our kids… . We’ve got public schools handing out condoms instead of teaching abstinence. There are folks in our country wanting to legalize the use of drugs, yet we can’t drill our oil on our own land or off of our coasts because it is politically incorrect. The catchword today is "green". …
In today’s America, we can’t say certain words because it might hurt someone’s feelings. This is ridiculous. What happened to freedom of speech? …Freedom of speech has been replaced with political correctness. People are losing jobs over this nonsense!
We’re not supposed to use racial profiling as an aid in helping track down terrorists. …We have politicians in place in government now who want to rewrite the Constitution to fit their socialistic ideals. We have judges making decisions not based on law or the Constitution, but on their own warped sense of morality—political correctness. The United States of America is fast becoming the ‘Divided States of America’ as there is a constant strain on the moral fiber that has held this great nation together for over 200 years. Look at the news on TV or in the newspapers and you will see countless stories about murders, rapes, child molestation, robberies, abductions, and suicides on a daily basis. The TV shows that follow the news are full of gay or lesbian relationships, violence, sexual promiscuity and more immorality. Why? In my opinion it is because we are keeping God out of our country all in the name of political correctness. We have a minority of people and special interest groups like the ACLU trying to eliminate God from the United States.
Ronald Reagan once said in a speech, "Once we are no longer a nation under God, we will surely be a nation gone under." It is high time Americans band together and stand proud and tall for the Christian values that this great nation was built upon. It’s time to do away with political correctness and start doing what’s right for our country. It’s time to bring God back into the United States and take back America!
