The Conservative Movement has considerably less seriousness and maturity than my four year-old son. I am not kidding.

Hahaha. I must say I once speculated that General Boykin must have gender-specific bathrooms in his own house, and it looks like that may be true for the Fox ladies too.
He may have been talking about the field. I was never comfortable crapping over a slit trench in full view. Don’t know if female presence would have made it any worse.
Oy. Probably wouldn’t handle that too well myself.
But, I said this, already.
I’ve never understood what’s wrong with being “politically correct”. To me, it just means being respectful of the rights of others. It only becomes politically motivated when one group gets it and the other group doesn…okay, now I understand.
Bingo. A lot of people who get venomous about “political correctness” believe that politeness is all about being deferential towards people with power and authority, even (maybe especially) when that power and authority derive from being rich, or being male, or being white, or being straight.
Politically correct means that you don’t intend to offend people who are different than you are.
This is anathema to conservatism in general and Republicans specifically.
“Politically Correct” means you are not allowed to say what you really think because it is socially unacceptable.
That is the conservative, “Donald Sterling lost his Freedom of Speech” because he said something stupid and got in trouble for it” defintion.
No one forces you to be politically correct. Either you are, or you aren’t.
Being politically correct means not giving a group of others shit because they don’t look like you.
Surprised the RWNJ and Fox aren’t picketing my local Starbucks for its “gender neutral” restroom.
Or, y’know, their own homes.
Well, presumably.
Home bathrooms were always exempted the rightwing freak-out about unisex (that was the word used forty years ago) public bathrooms.
God, it’s like living in groundhog day nation.
When your side is intellectually and morally bankrupt, and when your platform and your policies are increasingly dominated by people who would otherwise be yelling at clouds, that’s when “Ha! Ha! Funny potty!” becomes hilarious.
P.C. Police please. The only P.C. Police are climate change deniers and AIPAC. They protect and serve the Boehner house of representatives. Don’t say anything bad about Oil or anything about climate change or the Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians. Remember P.C. police allow you to be in congress with their donations.
Don’t get pulled pulled over Fox News because Officer Murdoch wants to laugh.
