    Actually, what you are describing is the attitude of Muslims toward other "tribes" and factions. And the attitude of liberal left wingers toward other factions. If you don't agree with Muslims, you're an infidel. If you don't agree with liberals, you're a bigot and a radical. So don't project your own foolishness and prejudices on me and others. That's what progressives/liberals always do, accuse others of what they are doing.

    I wasn't talking about militarism, I was talking about a cultural conflict. I don't see what the "culture of war" has to do with what I said. I talked about opposing spiritual beliefs and worldviews.

    If you're an anarchist communist, you shouldn't even live in this country. You should go to China or North Korea. Anybody that hates America, supports its destruction and follows a criminal ideology like Communism, doesn't deserve to live in this free country and enjoy all the rights and liberties guaranteed by a Constitution written by "colonialist and racist white men".

    In their attempt to make Muslims their allies, politically correct liberals avoid linking Islam to Islamic terrorism in the news media and everywhere else.

    After the 9/11 Memorial Museum opened in New York City at the World Trade Center, in the area where the Twin Towers once stood, a short documentary that plays at the museum, for visitors, came under attack from the politically correct thought police. Muslim imams and political leaders, along with a left wing group known as the Interfaith Alliance, made a statement in which they condemned the documentary film because it referred to the terrorists who flew the planes into the Twin Towers, as “Islamist terrorists”. The term “Islamist” links the terrorist attacks with Islam, and that is not politically correct. The Interfaith Alliance is led by a bunch of atheists and radical left wing liberals from various denominations. They have nothing to do with faith or spirituality, they are only interested in making religion more politically correct, with the exception of Islam. They wouldn’t dare tell Muslims to change or reform their religion.

    These quotes are very relevant to the thread and to the current situation. But I guess you're too ignorant to see that.

    The irony here. It's delicious.

    I don't think you understand the word Anarchism. Or the word ideology. Or most of the words you use.

    Okay.

    Okay.

    That's an oxymoron. Are they radical left, or are they liberals?

    Okay.

    I saw the memo that said I am supposed to care about offending people, but I threw it in the bin and forgot about it.

    And that's the secret to forgetting about political correctness. If anybody takes offense because of what I say or do, that's their problem.

    I don't think you understand the words "bigot" and "racist", and most words you and other leftists use.

    It's not an oxymoron anymore. Most liberals have morphed into left wing radicals. That's the reason for their blind support of Obama, a president with a Marxist background and ties to Communists like Bill Ayers. Obama and Ayers are still friends. Ayers was involved in bombing government buildings in the 1970s. What would you call somebody who blows up buildings? A terrorist perhaps? And yet, Democrats don't have a problem with that. But they'll tell you how "dangerous" the Tea Party is. LOL

    You’re ignorant of the history of your own political movement. No, political correctness is not a term thrown around by right wingers. It was invented by one of your leaders. Adorno, of the so-called Frankfurt School.

    Instead of addressing anything I said, you just went into ideological mode and gave me a reply typical of politically correct zombies. "How dare you say some belief systems are better than others! You can't be impartial and relativist like me! You don't like outsiders, you conservative bigot!"

    Don’t tell me you don’t think your ideology is better than other belief systems. You wouldn’t be a Commie if you didn’t. You left wingers always try to appear something you are not. You are not neutral, relativist and open minded, as you want to appear. You are partisan, ideological, fanatical, absolutist, and closed minded. You hate people who don’t agree with your ideology. You immediately call them “bigots” and “racists” just because they don’t agree with your political views. You are as bigoted as they come! So stop preaching your sick religion of communism on this forum.

    Yes, some worldviews are better and more noble than others. Like the American Republic is better than statist, totalitarian China. Jesus was a better man than Mohammed or Marx. Freedom is better than politically correct tyranny. Free market capitalism has produced more prosperity than socialist, centralized economies. These are historical facts or truths, they are not up for debate. Got that?

    Great observation. Everything that contradicts their political views offends them. It’s like in Muslim countries, where an infidel or heretic is anyone who doesn't agree with the establishment on matters of religion. :) It's also like the Soviet constitution, where it was stated: "Freedom of speech is guaranteed to all Soviet citizens as long as it is not defamatory to the Party and the working class".

    It’s the same thing with politically correct liberals. Our free speech is guaranteed as long as it doesn't offend certain groups, pampered by the Left or it's not "defamatory" or "hateful" toward left wing ideology. And the Nazis had a similar thing in their constitution. The German constitution said: "The Fuehrer is not accountable to any body of government or any official or person, except to the German people". Of course, if the German people voiced their objections and criticized the Fuehrer, they would end up in jail or in a concentration camp.

    Progressives or liberals are doing the same thing. They don’t use the word “heretic”, they use the word “bigot” for all people who disagree with them on almost everything, from the welfare state, the issue of illegal immigration, global warming, to the definition of marriage and life. Since everything we say offends them, they want to ban everything we say.

    It really doesn't matter where the word originated if it's been gutted and turned into something that's only used unironically in the hysterical babblings of tea partiers.

    I really appreciate when people let you know right off the bat that you can't have a real discussion with them.
