It's really getting pathetic how we are offended by everything around us. (It offends me that we're so sensitive) Making matters worse are the people who are being denied the right to share their opinions because of it.
Apparrently, we're no longer allowed to fly American flags in our own country anymore. We can't show anyone who isn't white as working-class. And now there's this: http://www.buycostumes.com/Illegal-Alien-Adult-Costume/60504/ProductDetail.aspx
This is supposedly offensive to undocumented workers. (We have to call them undocumented workers because it's offensive to point out that they're breaking the law of the land by calling them 'Illegal Immigrants')
Ok, I admit that I can be an insensitive prick and a right-wing nut, but really? Are
Sad, really, how political correctness means you're not allowed to have an opinion, preference, or sense of humor anymore.

Patriotism is a superstition artificially created and maintained
through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man
of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and
conceit. -- Emma Goldman

oh - and this
"The pleasure of hating, like a poisonous mineral, eats into the heart of religion, and turns it to rankling
spleen and bigotry; it makes patriotism an excuse for carrying fire, pestilence, and famine into other lands: it
leaves to virtue nothing but the spirit of censoriousness, and a narrow, jealous, inquisitorial watchfulness
over the actions and motives of others." --"The Pleasure of Hating" by William Hazlitt (available at quotidiana.org)
Oh - and one more thing....now that the alien costume has been all over the media and several stores have quit selling it...here are your options now on amazon....

Wow - I just spent a few minutes looking at cosutmes on amazon.com that are in no way politically motivated and now I'm really offended. yuck.
just scroll across the options on the bottom. One is even LABLED "offensive" priest costume.
OK, the patriotism quote is over my head. Not sure what you're trying to say. AMEN on the link to the other costume, though. Why aren't they complaining about THAT one?
Why do you hate Obama Jer? You are obviously a racist hillbilly who hates education.
