That reminds me of the old Fawlty Towers skit when German tourists arrived at the hotel — “Don’t mention the war!”

BCE — some religious people understand this means “Before the Christian Era”; just like CE means “Christian Era”, a dumbed down version of AD for uneducated people who do not know any Latin.

The Usual Suspects say, no, it really means “Before the Common Era”. But what defines this previously unknown “Common Era”?

If Lefties really want to keep religion out dates, then why pick as Year 0 for their mythical “Common Era” the notional date when the founder of Christianity was born? They should have chosen some other date for Year 0, like the year Mahomed was born or the year English traders brought their first African slaves to those English Caribbean plantations. But that would have required them to create instead of destroy — and the Politically Correct know only how to destroy.

For the rest of us, falling in with herd behavior to abandon generations of BC/AD for some cheap knock-off puts us in the same camp as those who today are intent on pulling down statues of Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln.

Political Correctness is poison for the mind. Reject it! Reject it totally!

Then, even if not intentionally, you are part of the problem. You are staking out a position just sliiiiightly further uphill on the slippery slope. We all know where that ends up.

The only defensible Schelling point is to extirpate every scrap of PC.

A lot of people use a little PC lingo because they don’t know any better. They don’t necessarily mean anything by it. Blame the school system. Others do it because it’s expected by them. These don’t mean anything by it either.

But nobody hits three red flags unless he’s a jackass.

People who don’t understand human nature believe in the perfectibility of man.

Neither group understands history.

Technological progress is much stickier. Nazis invented the assault rifle in 1944; today they are mass-produced in the stateless tribal areas of Pakistan.

This Murray man is a terrible white man racist. Undoubtedly the great accomplishments and achievements of the human species as listed will be devoid of all the wonderful accomplishments and achievements of the sub-Saharan peoples. Those many accomplishments and achievements of which are well know to all.

BURN THIS BOOK. Of course i have not read it or intend to read the book but BURN IT ANYHOW.

Someone once said to me the safety pin was a sublime piece of engineering, but at the time I thought little of it as I didn’t need one. Once I started changing nappies/diapers on my little ones I swiftly appreciated how much genius went into it.
