LETTERS: RULES FOR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

To the editor:

If you feel you should be politically correct to oblige those who conspire to take away your freedoms, you should observe the following rules:

1. If you are making a public statement, you should be very careful not to tell the truth. This many hurt someone's feelings.

2. You should always say what the liberal politicians want you to say. And to be very sure you are politically correct, mimic them word for word if possible.

3. Always use words like infrastructure which have such vague meaning that no one can pin you down on what you really mean.

4. Never call a fool a fool or a thief a thief. If you make this terrible mistake, you will be branded forever as uncaring or insensitive. You may never survive this.

5. Never demand your constitutional rights or even hit that you would like to have a say as to how your tax dollars are spent. If you do this, you are automatically a Nazi and an extremist.

6. To escape all the consequences of being politically incorrect, just talk like an idiot.
