Thurston asked in Politics & GovernmentPolitics · 1 decade ago

Now that liberals are censoring the "N-word" from Huck Finn, what words will they change or ban next?

Update:

MartinK: WRONG. It was moved to be censored by a liberal college professor. Even CNN (the communist news network) admitted that.

    Left-wing liberals hate words like "God" "Patriotic" "Lord" "Christmas" etc. They'll keep nagging and nagging about it and unless Conservatives push back with sanity, the left will eventually get their way and make this great country into one big nameless, sterile blob of zombie-like humanity.

    For in a republic, who is "the Country"? Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. Who, then, is "the Country"? Is it the newspaper? is it the pulpit? Is it the school superintendent? Why, these are mere parts of the country, not the whole of it; they have not command, they have only their little share in the command. They are but one in a thousand; it is in the thousand that command is lodged; they must determine what is right and what is wrong; they must decide who is a patriot and who isn't.

    Who are the thousand--that is to say, who are "the Country"? In a monarchy, the king and his family are the country; in a republic it is the common voice of the people. Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catch-phrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide it against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide on way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country--hold up your head. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

    I'm not interested in censoring it. It's very offensive, but it's part of the story.

    Now I wonder what the Parent's Television Council wants to censor? Everything?

    truly maximum liberals i comprehend may well be for removing censorship era. i think of you're forgetting countless key figures interior the epic "Parental Advisory" conflict Paula Hawkins- Republican Susan Baker- spouse of renowned Republican lacky Strom Thurmond- Republican Dont ignore, Walmart shops, between the main conservative public firms on the earth desperate to "edit" their song and periodical determination, to maintain "family contributors values". Dont toddler your self. The modifying of our lives is fueled ordinarily by ability of the non secular ideal, not the nanny state left.

    Watch out "50 cent" and most rappers. Your lyrics are next, and then your great works are over with since that word occurs in every verse.

    They don't want you to call them Liberals.

    Remove the L word. It reveals what they are and they hate it.

    Also eliminate Communist, Democrat, Marxist, and Socialist.
