• Political correctness is a concept invented by hard-rightwing forces to defend their right to be racist, to treat women in a degrading way and to be truly vile about gay people.

That's all part of being a decent human being.

• During our long period of slumber the United States government has lost its moral authority. It is owned, operated, and controlled by Wall Street, Corporate America, and the Israeli Lobby with the full complicity of the national media.

It has evolved into the wealthiest, most powerful, most materialistic, most racist, most militaristic, most violent empire of all times.
