JC would have had the whips out, then taken a flame thrower to the place.
He was not politically correct and I suspect he had a rather expansive, salty vocabulary in castigating those who were dumber than pig excrement.

Speaking of PC, here’s the latest smack to the Military:
And the islamic pedophiles, hang homosexuals or throw them off higher roofs, among other ways of murder. Yet, they are highly known to bugger boys or any convenient animal.
Something more than AC/DC.
HA, I remember the old joke when women started coming to P-3 squadrons (my old stomping ground…Lovin’ Eleven forever!)
“what is the little room at the front of the plane where the pilots sit?”
“the cockpit?”
“Nope, not anymore…now it’s the box office.”
This of course was before the Tailhook witch hunt.

In re MasterDiver’s post above:
What the hell? The message should be “send me your best pilots”, period. The Thunderbirds (and the Blue Angels and the other demonstration teams) are supposed to represent the best, to demonstrate the skills and precision of the respective services. There is no place for PC in that mix. You wonder why there is a shrinking pool of applicants. Easy. You are loading the deck against your best people by emphasizing “diversity,” whatever the heck that is supposed to mean. Why apply when you are not going to be judged on your ability first. When you make the most important indicator of hiring preference gender and/or skin color, you send a very stark message. “If you ain’t in the preference group, your chances are limited to start with.” When I was hiring for a highly skilled and highly visible position, I selected the best qualified officer available. Most were men, but several happened to be women. Their sex meant nothing; their skin color meant nothing; their ability meant everything. Anything less is BS.
And everything else you said so well applies to everything, Bill.
Which is exactly the point of this un-PC pro-JC post.

Obozo has been purging the ranks of the true leaders, in favor of the carreerists who only look for the quickest way to their next star. If Le Reign wants to impose PC in place of ability, send out the directive. If he wants to drop leaflets over a target 30 minutes before the strike, line up the trash sortie, and when the BDA comes in showing nearly no targets hit, blame the drivers. Thank God I retired. My last four years under Obozo saw more racial and gender preference imposed on the rank and file than ever.

A lot of people have pretty much used up their lifetime’s supply of goodwill- and patience- with supposedly morally superior “enlightened, mystical” foreign cultures.

If they don’t respect you, make them fear you.

Our leaders and “social lions” are sort of like the characters on the old “L.A. Law” show.
They spend most of their time admiring themselves for being smarter, more sophisticated, more enlightened, prettier, and just plain “better” than everybody else.
We are ruled by hip, post-modern, metrosexual hustlers who think having a buffed gym-rat body, a plastic surgeon’s masterpiece face, and a six-figure-cost wardrobe equals “leadership”.
Which handily explains Rubio, but in no way explains Hillary! or Leon Trotsky Junior.

But if you can provoke them just that little bit (and it doesn’t take much to provoke a quoranimal into attacking), then you can always claim self defense, and I-feared-for-my-life, when the ambulance carts the body away to the morgue.

I’m going to take this space to ‘memorialize’ the man who I first heard use the term ‘political correctness’. His name was David Thibodeaux and I heard him speak at a church in Sulphur, Louisiana in 1994. He was an English professor at USL (now known as University of Louisiana-Lafayette) and had recently published, ‘Political Correctness: The Cloning of the American Mind’. He was a true conservative and I believe this portion from Wikipedia demonstrates just that:
Bill Decker of the Lafayette Daily Advertiser described Thibodaux thus:
“[He was] a movement conservative who might not appreciate the appropriation of Democrat Al Smith’s nickname. But Thibodaux was a happy warrior. [He] taught English at ULL, took on mamby-pamby language and knee-jerk liberals in a pair of books, the latest of which is called Beyond Political Correctness: Are There Limits to This Lunacy? At the time of his death, he was locked in the battle for which he may be remembered most: his duel with U.S. District Judge Richard Haik over school desegregation. Thibodaux fought Haik every way he knew how.
“His opposition was about the proper role of the judiciary, not about indifference to the kids. His push for reduced class sizes, lovingly detailed in half a dozen conversations over the years, was about improving education in Lafayette schools that serve low-income students. And his biggest allies in the fight against the court-ordered desegregation measures were the two black school board members, [Democrats] Ed Sam and Rickey Hardy, who resented the closure of schools in black neighborhoods.”
Mrs. Thibodaux told the Daily Advertiser that her husband “gave everything that he could. He was the only person I knew that lost sleep over someone else’s children.”

They have been inculcated with Marxist theory for most of their supposed Education.
Our experiment with a Republic style government is nearing its end.
To have our children actually vote into being the same system of governance that our fathers fought and died to end in Europe is an ironic end to the only experiment with a democratic Republic yet known to humankind.
The problem to me is that there is no one person that could be removed and that would end the assault on our Bill of Rights et al.
I would willingly sacrifice my life to remove the problem but alas it isn’t possible.
