Political Correctness Is Killing America

By Tony Kalna Jr.

 

    Political correctness is the Achilles heel of the United States of America.  It’s a weakness that we created ourselves and one that is taking our nation on a one-way trip to self-destruction.  It is quickly dissolving America’s moral fiber, taking away our sovereignty, and turning our country into a melting pot of disaster. Political correctness is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, ready to devour the very nation that created this bizarre concept.  It is high time American’s stop tolerating the concept of tolerance and start standing up for what we believe in and what this country was founded on—Christian values.

    Somewhere along the line, it has become wrong to call the national holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas.  Instead of Christmas, it is called “Winter Holiday”.  It is illegal to display a nativity scene depicting the birth of Christ on most public properties and on some privately owned land in America.  In some instances, it has become illegal to display the Ten Commandments in courtrooms and on some government properties.  The words, In God We Trust, have been taken off the front of our one dollar coin and placed inconspicuously on the edge of the coin.

    When I was growing up, we said the Pledge of Allegiance each morning before class began at school.  Many schools today no longer allow this because the Pledge includes the words “one nation, under God.”

    Prayer is often banned from schools and sporting events because groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) say it’s imposing on the rights of those who don’t believe in God. 

   These are just a few of the many examples of the politically correct movement that has somehow overtaken our country.  It is a corrosive concept that is eating away at our nation’s heart and soul.

    How come nobody says, “Happy Holiday,” at Halloween time or on Valentine’s Day?  It’s because these things aren’t related to Jesus.  It’s wrong to bring God into anything in America anymore.  Well, I’m here to say that political correctness is what is wrong with the United States today.

    It’s wrong that we have millions of people invading our country as “workers who do the work that Americans won’t do.”  These folks are illegal aliens.  What part of ‘illegal’ do our government officials not understand?  I don’t care if they come from Mexico, Italy, Pakistan or Ireland—illegal is illegal and they should not be allowed to stay—period.  Let these folks stand in line and go through the process like our forefathers did at Ellis Island.

    I don’t care what anyone says, Americans are hard workers and these illegal invaders are taking jobs away from American citizens.  They are also robbing our social system of money by getting benefits that they don’t deserve as illegal aliens.

    The hard truth is, most of the illegal aliens coming into America today are from Mexico.  The politicians in both parties will not address this issue with any authority as they want to be politically correct so they won’t lose the Hispanic vote.  This is ridiculous.  We’ve got to do what is right for this country today and for the future.

    It’s wrong that we have allowed homosexuality to sweep across our nation.  We don’t have to embrace this lifestyle, it is wrong.  Consider that in a public school in Denver, Colorado, a boy who didn’t know his own sexual identity came back to school the next year as a girl.  The school decided to accommodate the other students with counselors to help them understand and cope with this alternative lifestyle.  Why didn’t they provide counselors to the boy who didn’t know if he was male or female?  He’s the one who is mixed-up.  The school went on to designate two restrooms as “unisex” so that children in the school who might not know whether they were supposed to be a boy or girl could feel comfortable going to the restroom.  We’re talking about eight-year-old children!  Political correctness is brainwashing our kids to accept a lifestyle that is unacceptable in God’s eyes and in the eyes of the majority of Americans - not to mention the horrendous health risks of contracting AIDS.

     We’ve got public schools handing out condoms instead of teaching abstinence.  There are folks in our country wanting to legalize the use of drugs yet we can’t drill for oil in our own land or off of our coasts because it is politically incorrect.  The catchword today is “green.”  We’ve got to be a “green” nation.  I’m all for recycling and such but let’s get real, we need to be independent from the countries who control oil production in the world now.

    In today’s America, we can’t say certain words because it might hurt someone’s feelings. This is ridiculous.  What happened to freedom of speech?  Whatever happened to sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?  Freedom of speech has been replaced with political correctness.  People are losing jobs over this nonsense!

    We’re not supposed to use racial profiling as an aid in helping track down terrorists.  The last time I looked, the folks involved in the 911 terrorists attacks were Middle East Islamic radicals.  Now, the political correct gang wants us to stop water-boarding and other torture tactics on captured terrorists while trying to extract helpful information that could save thousands of American lives.  All of this upside down thinking is due in part to political correctness.  I’m not interested in what Europe or the rest of the world thinks about the United States, we have to do whatever it takes to protect our country and its citizens.  Phooey on political correctness.  

     We have politicians in place in government now who want to rewrite the Constitution to fit their socialistic ideals.  We have judges making decisions not based on law or the Constitution, but on their own warped sense of morality—political correctness.

    The United States of America is fast becoming the ‘Divided States of America’ as there is a constant strain on the moral fiber that has held this great nation together for over 200 years. Look at the news on TV or in the newspapers and you will see countless stories about murders, rapes, child molestations, robberies, abductions, and suicides on a daily basis.  The TV shows that follow the news are full of gay or lesbian relationships, violence, sexual promiscuity and more immorality.  Why?  In my opinion it is because we are keeping God out of our country all in the name of political correctness.  We have a minority of people and special interest groups like the ACLU trying to eliminate God from the United States.

    Ronald Reagan once said in a speech, “Once we are no longer a nation under God, we will surely be a nation gone under.”  It is high time Americans band together and stand proud and tall for the Christian values that this great nation was built upon.  It’s time to do away with political correctness and start doing what’s right for our country.  It’s time to bring God back into the United States and take back America!
