Pandering a Democrat would be proud of. I want my party back.

Neo-Polizei Cracking Down on Verboten Use of Presidential Candidate’s Full Name

Just when you might have thought there had lately been a much-welcomed respite from the P.C. Polizei of the nineties… think again. On a Digg forum, some leftist hecklers objected to my spelling out of Barack Obama’s full name: Barack Hussein Obama. And as you can see, one of the said heckler camp made his way over to my blog (in an ever-anonymous fashion, of course), calling me “immature” and tsk-ing his disapproval in the echoes of “Shame[,] shame[,] shame[.]” On a side note, Mr. Anonymous posted these comments on my blog about Ron Paul’s latest domination of YouTube.

Hmm, Mr… er, uh.. “Anonymous”: What is “immature” about stating the man’s full name? What exactly are you implying? That his name, of Muslim origin, is somehow something to be ashamed of? Do you have something against Muslims? Would you call me “immature” to call Hillary Rodham Clinton by her full name, as I just did? Methinks not… On second thought, it’s the ubiquitous “anonymous” posters like Mr. — Anonymous — who come up with stuff like this, and he’d probably be ready to jump on that and call it “sexist.” Some encyclopedia articles refer to possible GOP candidate Fred Thompson as (gasp!): “Fred. Dalton. Thompson.” I have also seen Mitt Romney referred to as Willard Mitt Romney, his full name. To the Neo-Polizei, however, using a minority’s full name or, most likely, a woman’s full name, is something for which one should feel “shame shame shame[sic].”

Another little Digger made, in an effort to demonstrate his indignation at the government’s amnesty plan for illegal immigrants, a comment that some in the Neo-P.C.-Polizei just couldn’t tolerate (imagine). The poster said that George Bush & Co. were “filling up [the country] with Mexicans” via illegal immigration and border crossings:

“The Bush family supports Open Borders and sees nothing wrong with filling America up with Mexicans. Bush Junior ’s occupation of Iraq has cost the Republicans control of Congress. Many Republicans would like to see a complete change of direction.”

What, is Mr. Anonymous suggesting that “invading” would have been preferable to “filling up America with Mexicans”? Admittedly, the post was not the most articulate in the world, but “racist”? Messrs. Anonymous, last I checked, “Mexican” was a nationality, not a race.
