First post and an explaination.

Did you ever hear the phrase, "Telling it like it is?"

The explanation of that phrase is simple.  Call it as you see it and say (or write) how you feel about the subject even if it ruffles some feathers.  Did you ever hear or read something and tell the person, "Damn tell us how you really feel?!"  Yeah, that's exactly what I am referring to....

Thanks to the first amendment in this great place known as the USA, you are able to "tell it like it is" freely, without fear of government interference or getting arrested.

But there is a group out there that is hell bent on squashing people who tell it like it is.  I call them the Political Correctness Brigade, aka the PC Brigade or PCB (unfortunate abbreviation) for short.

The PC Brigade is NOT an actual organization or membership.  It consists of people of all walks of life who feel that a person should silence him or herself because their opinions or views might offend someone else.

That is fine on the surface, except the PC Brigade does the following, including but not limited to:

1. Accuse people of lacking tact or class.

2. Accuse people of generalizing.

3. Accuse people of being various types of "*ist" (Racist, Sexist, etc).

4. Demand that people be fired or suspended from their jobs, even if what the person said or wrote was in no way related to their job, they didn't mention their job, and they said or wrote the view / opinion on a personal, non-work device on his/her free time at home.

Last but not least....

5. Demand you "apologize" for your own views or opinions.

Well that's not going to be me.  This blog is going to be a spot to air my personal views and opinions out to the word.  If the PC Brigade doesn't like what I have to say, they are not going to get an apology.  They can simply go to another website.
