"It's no fun being an Illegal"...oops nevermind

I guess Genesis will need to rewrite their song, because apparently the term "Illegal Alien" is now a racist term.  I always thought that it was simply a statement of status, but apparently not.  I want to make it clear from the start that I am not a racist, and have nothing against immigrants. My grandparents immigrated from Holland.

But I'm not going to get into my views on immigration laws and immigrants right now.  I just want to talk about this bull crap called "Political Correctness".  This is a disease that has been thrust on our nation by liberals for the past 20 or so years, where they dictate to us what we can or cannot call something.  These are the bozos who have tried to convince many pro and college teams to change their names, particularly those with names related to American Indians.  They seem to think that calling a team the Braves is an affront to the American Indians...hello folks, last time I checked "Brave" was a positive character trait, and so that name would be a compliment to the courage fighting spirit of the American Indian. 

Now you may notice I am not caving to the PC left and referring to "Native Americans". The reason I do not use that term is because, living in Southern California I see many ads on TV for various Indian gaming facilities, and they all seem to refer to themselves as Indians, and that's good enough for me.

Now the PC police are telling me I need to call an Illegal Alien an "Undocumented Immigrant".  So here are a few more PC terms for your consideration: "Unlicensed Pharmacist" instead of Drug pusher, "Professional Pleasure Consultant" instead of prostitute, "highly relaxed thinker" instead of Pothead.  And let us not forget the politically correct term for a lying, cheating, booze-swilling womanizer...a "Politician".
