If Dog Lives Matter, the Scourge of Political Correctitude Must Be Pretty Much Down for the Count...

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Gotta admit that in my adventures in literacy BLM used to mean “Bureau of Land Management.” That’s the government bureaucrats who prevent redneck white cowboys from running their cattle on public lands for free.

I kinda thought that wasn’t a bad idea, keeping private cattle off public lands, which made me a bit of a socialist at the time. If not a communist.

Then Black Lives Matter comes along and I have to do a double check on any BLM headline. Are they talking about this BLM or that BLM?

There’s not a heck of a lot of common ground between the two BLMs.

The black BLM is kinda floating along on the winds of political correctitude.

The Bureau of Land Management, not so much.

 The other BLM has taken umbrage over appropriations of their slogan. White Lives Matter? That’s disrespectful of black lives. Blue Lives Matter? That’s beyond the pale.

But when pop-culture mega-star Axl Rose tweets that “Dog Lives Matter”we don’t hear a lot of complaining from the Black Lives Matter campaign.

Why not?

Well, because dogs are dogs and cops are cops. Whites are white and blacks are black. Axl Rose is… well Axl Rose I guess, and as a pop culture superstar he has a license to say whatever he wants to say, without censure.

But it does seem to pencil in some limits to political correctitude… as in, you can transgress the boundaries if you are a bona fide star in the pop culture firmament.

Otherwise, you’re a racist shit-bag.

Speaking of shit-bags, Mr. Trump sure hit the wall this weekend, did he not? That wildly misogynistic tape put him dead to rights, eh?

Well, I’m not so sure. Here’s one of the left’s (and I’m talking about the actual left, not the Clintonesque-Dem fake left that today finds itself to the right of the Republican candidate on practically everything) uber-swamis, Counterpunch grandee Jeffrey St. Clair, musing about the long history of senior pols on both sides of the aisle proving themselves at least as misogynistic as Mr. Trump.

I was surprised he forgot to mention that Manhattan liberal stalwart, Michael Bloomberg.

Surely the virus of political correctitude has infected all parties on all sides. Just as the scourge of misogyny did before it.

But what bothers me is that our corporate media found copious acres of space available for Trump’s alleged transgressions this weekend, which are utterly irrelevant, and absolutely no space for the thousands of Podesta emails that were leaked this weekend, which have an immediate bearing on the future of America should Hillary become the next President of the United States.

      how old are you? 16?

      if you think that keeping privately owned cattle off public land makes you a communist… you are easily swayed in your thinking.

      other than that… this reads like a facebook blogpost… lots of random thoughts that barely connects
