  This country is coming to an end as we know it. Political correctness really pisses me off .

  John Robinson Obviously leads an alternative lifestyle, causing him to write this uppity memo....

  It stuns me beyond all reason that in an era of trillion dollar budget deficits, the American taxpayer is paying someone to monitor political correctness.
  
  Chief Diversity Officer? Are you kidding me?
  
  We have morons running this country.

  Don't worry....Once we finish destroying the economy no one will give a shit about political correctness.

  This is the kind of jobs we are creating.
  
  On our present path, the CDO could be a cabinet level position in a few years.

  What I don't understand is...with all the supposed "tolerance" everyone is preaching, why do we need to be politically correct? If everyone is so tolerant, then why are they so easily offended?

  That this guy has a taxpayer funded job is a national embarrassment. I mean come on, the "rule of thumb" thing is easily refuted - at least in the memo he states that the myth is according to women's rights groups, but it doesn't say INCORRECTLY and that it is a myth. It sickens me that my tax dollars pay for this. VOTE THEM OUT!

  I'd express my opinion here, but I'd probably realize it's too strong and delete it. Don't want to be an indian giver.
