Defend Free Speech, Drop Political Correctness

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

The day that we fear our own neighbors is the day that we die.

With PC you know you just never really know how or what someone is thinking. Personally I like to know straight up who I am dealing with straight shooter, if I am making mistakes tell me to get right or get on, or if you don't like me tell me straight up.

Maybe he's pointing out that freedom of speech and political correctness have little to do with one another.

Maybe a different title would get your point across better?

BTW: How many Pat Condell videos have you seen? Here's one of my favorites:

That quotation is soooo 19th Century!

I prefer this one from the 20th Century:

"All we are saying
Is give peace a chance."
