Hi
Today is Thanksgiving Day and I would like to remind all that we set this day aside to thank the Almighty for our blessings. We eat, visit with family and friends and watch football. That is the American way.
One thing which is not the American way is our "Politically correct" behavior. We have become a nation of hyphenated people. A nation where one cannot express an opinion without hearing some one say that your opinion is based on a bias, or that it is harmful to some group of people.
My feelings are that we should correct this, and correct it both speedily and forcibly. For beginners, stop using such terms as African-American, Latino, Chicano or native American. We are all Americans, not hyphenated Americans. The use of these definitions only serves to make us feel alienated from each other. Politicians jump at the chance to exploit this. Just ask yourself, How many times have I heard some politician say something to drive a wedge between classes of people. Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear politicians discuss real issues, not some drummed up rhetoric aimed at dividing the population? What would they say if they could not use such phony issues or phrases as, "tax cuts for the poor, more insurance coverage for the elderly, better benefits for the military? Most of the politicians would have to address real problems. Think of all the "windbags" we would get rid of. We can only keep hoping and trying our best to stop the PC attitude. If each of us does try we can get rid of this. Please try.
White I ask you to try I add please pray for our brave service people.
GOD Bless
