People Fear PC More Than They Fear God.

Fear in this context means an awesome respect of a powerful being.  I have been reading some of the online “discussions” on the recent Supreme Court ruling on Gay marriage.  I have read many reasoned loving articles warning what the Bible says on the subject.  And all of the responses that disagreed with that position were harsh, strident, self righteous, and many used profane language.  The responders all thought they were absolutely right, while not accepting the fact that there was absolute Truth.  The responders universally were more fearful of not being politically correct than engaging in a discussion about the Bible.  PC was the god they feared not the true and living God of the Bible.

The responders argued with a profane religious fervor, and claimed the absolute moral high ground because of course they were absolutely tolerant.  None of the responders used logic and none would engage in a reasoned and logic based discussion.  In their thinking there was no way there could be another point of view.  They were all absolutely devoted to their deity, PC Tolerance, and anyone who disagreed with them was called their words for their new devil, homophobe, islamophobe, racist, misogynist, and the worst of all intolerant.   Their new god, political correctness, is tolerant for everything the Bible says is detrimental to man’s relationship to God, and intolerant of everything that God says is right and good. In this new religion, to violate PC is sin.  And those that commit PC “sins” deserve swift and crushing punishment here on this earth.  The PC god’s punishment, is usually profane, vindictive character assassination, being ridiculed out of relevance, marginalized, cast out of employment, and destroying your business.  You see it was not “love wins” but violent relentless hate for righteous that won.  It was this violent hate that scared its opposers from speaking out.  A perfect storm.

Texas, California, and the Tail of the Coyote

Being a fiscal policy person, I always point to California’s punitive state income tax as an example of bad policy and highlight the absence of any income tax in Texas to explain the success of that state.

But sometimes it’s just culture and attitude. Here’s a joke comparing the two states, but it’s based on something that actually happened in Texas.

CALIFORNIA: The Governor of  California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps  out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects  upon the movie “Bambi” and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is  only doing what is natural.

2. He takes out his cell phone and calls animal control. Animal Control  captures the coyote and bills the State $1,500 testing it for diseases and $2,500  for relocating it.

3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects  the dead dog and bills the State $2,000 for testing it for diseases.

4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends  $2,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his  bite wound bandaged.

5. The running trail gets shut down for  6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to  make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.

6. The Governor spends $500,000 in state funds to  implement a “coyote awareness” program for residents of the state.

7. The State Legislature spends $2 million  to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently  eradicate the  disease throughout the world.

8. The Governor’s security agent is  fired for not stopping the attack somehow and for letting the  Governor attempt to intervene.

9. Additional cost to State of California:  $175,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special  training re: the nature of coyotes.

10. PETA protests the coyote’s  relocation and files $5 Million suit against the State.

TEXAS: The Governor of Texas is  jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A Coyote jumps out, bites  the Governor’s leather boot, and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued  pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP  hollow point cartridge.

2. The buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that, boys and girls, is why California is  broke………..And, more importantly, why too much government  doesn’t work.
