Let’s Get Serious

By Dan Barber

According to the First Amendment to the Constitution, "Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas." Political operatives should send out a blanket "Miranda warning" to every American citizen to be careful of what they say or think because if it doesn't agree with those in power, those words or thoughts will be held against them...especially if they work for the "wrong candidate."

It allows democracy to shine brightly, despite interference from a foreign outsider in a very small speck of a country located in a very violent region of the world. This will force the Obama administration to conduct honest foreign relations in the Middle East to support an American ally. Israel just called Obama's hand.


I'm pretty sure this post will insult someone, for that I'm sorry, but. Changing societal norms and overly sensitive and fragile people need to understand they have forced political correctness into overdrive. In my old age, elderly status, grandfatherly or whatever the politically correct title I am known by I am afraid to sound stupid, uninformed or mentally challenged when trying to address someone in a polite way. I am flattered when a young person addresses me as "Dude" because that indicates that they welcome me into their youthful world, but when a young person addressed me as "Hey" I explain to them that "hay" is the first stage of horse crap! How does a school address the caretaker of children? If they call someone "parent" wouldn't that offends the uncle or aunt, brother, sister or friend in charge of taking care of a child? If my opinion offends someone, with a grunt, I'm sorry.
