I am a typical 22 year old educated female who is just trying to make my mark in this world. I have strong opinions and sometimes (or most of the time) those opinions rub people the wrong way. Nonetheless, I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I don’t care, as I’ve taken a stand against political correctness and sensitivity. It’s just gone way too far and has spiraled out of control. I’ve discovered that people find it very suprising that I have the views that I do, and look the way I look. As if..I’m not allowed to look like ‘this’ and have actual opinions and views at the same time. Then again…That’s expected from arrogant modern day ‘society’. I’m tired of watching what I say and worrying if it may offend….Ooh, there’s that word I’ve grown to depise. I am an ex “die-hard” Democrat and now registered Republican. I do lean to the right in my beliefs and stands and have grown increasingly weary of democratic and liberal parties and their tactics. I find that they’ve become terribly juvenile and seem to have an enormous amount of difficulty accepting defeat. You know, very much like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. I’ve grown extremely tired of the concept of ‘political correctness.’ PC is out of control and we are raising a society of pussies because of it. This does not mean that I don’t respect the opinions and oppositions of others. In fact, I am very open to hearing what others have to say. Nothing is one-sided, as many people subconciously make a number of things/issues out to be. There are two sides to every story. I am rightfully entitled to mine just as you are to yours. Everyone does have their own opinions….right?
One of the reasons I left the Left, or became disenchanted with the Left, is that too many of them were like sheep, all herded up — scarcely thinking for themselves at all. They were wedded to dogma and political correctness. They did not dare to deviate — not in my environment. – Jay Nordlinger
