A PC warrior being dishonest? That's unpossible.............

Frankly, I like threads like this, it helps me sort out who likes free speech and is willing to let people be free and those who want to shut up anyone who says something they don't like. The PC crowd is always good for a laugh as they use bullying tactics to prove the point they are "progressive"......... In other words, Irony is someone who claims to be progressive using regressive tactics to shut down opposing opinions. Call it whatever you want, rational, reality based people see through the bullshit.
