I have become increasingly aware

of the hypocrisy of the politically correct crowd. They yell and scream “tolerance” and then begin name calling anyone who disagrees with them. For example;
· If you didn’t vote for BO, your are a racist (never mind your reasons have nothing to do with skin color, but religious convictions. In fact, I would prefer to vote for Alan Keys over anyone else out there right now and he is a black man. Yet somehow I am automatically racist because I think BO is dangerous.)
· If you disagree with the illogical rhetoric of the gay community, you are homophobic (this is literally Greek for “afraid of same”). It doesn’t matter if you have researched the issue for yourself and are concerned for their souls, if you don’t believe them, you are hateful.
· If you vote against increased school spending, you are “against education,” (even if you homeschool, run an educational co-op, and give curriculum to poor families so they can homeschool.)
· If you are against welfare you are “uncompassionate,” and don’t care about anyone but yourself, (even if you donate 20% of your income to charity and volunteer at an adult literacy center and have seen welfare do more harm than good.)

I have come up with my own terms to apply to the “tolerance” crowd.
· Fetaphobic- The fear of babies (literally “fear of offspring” in Greek.) This is to be applied to anyone who believes babies are punishment and that it is ok to cut them into little pieces and flush them down the sink (abortion).
· Domophobic- The fear of all things domestic. This is to be applied to those who insist Homemaking is boring, brainless work when they have never actually done it themselves. Their rhetoric is nothing but a cover up of their irrational fears of the home.
· Responsiphobic- The fear of taking responsibility for your own life and mistakes.
· Chanakphobic- The fear of trying to actually control your child and teach them something about proper behavior (literally “fear of training up”)
· Benphobic- (“afraid of children”) The fear of having anymore children. Largely responsible for the dangerously low birth rate in the western world today, as well as snide remarks aimed at those who have more children than average.
· Amphobic- the fear of the people. This is to be applied to those that fear an uncontrolled public; a people left to care for themselves and solve their own problems.

Can you think of any others?

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
