What price are we to place upon sensitivity? How much will, we, as a nation that values liberty, sacrifice for the sake of sensitivity? Is giving up a slice, perhaps a large slice of our freedom of speech worth it if we transform America into a more sensitive country? We had all better weigh these questions now, because right now, sensitivity, and those who proclaim to be interested in the cause of sensitivity, are trying to sacrifice our history, and our cherished freedom of speech and of thought, upon the altar of sensitivity! Are we truly prepared to pay that price?

Always late to a party, it wasn’t until yesterday that I heard Ann Coulter’s remarks regarding Presidential candidate John Edwards. The video is available at this link, but, for those of you without the proper plug-in, she informed a Conservative Political Action Committee audience that she could not comment on the former Senator because “you have to go into rehab if you use the word f*ggot.” Predictably, a firestorm ensued. CBS News dubbed her words a “slur against gay people.” Mr. Edwards called her comment, “hateful, selfish, childish behavior.” He further noted, “What I’ve learned is that if you don’t have the courage to speak out against it—no matter who says it, and no matter who it’s leveled at—then it becomes tolerable. And it’s not tolerable, any more than the language I heard leveled at African Americans when I was young.”

The double standard of Leftists who are ignoring the outrage of Bill Maher—who alluded to his wish that Vice President Dick Cheney was assassinated - while at the same time are wildly fanning themselves in mock outrage as if they had the vapors over Ann Coulter—for calling Democrat John Edwards a bad name—was on full display in the MSM over the weekend.

I remember sitting placidly in my living room watching the TV when I first saw the Volkswagen commercial; little did I know it would become another victim on the long list of untimely casualties of political correctness. I should have known it was only a matter of time before the Zeitgeist’s sensitivity meters would detect it and target it for extermination.

A revealing research paper on domestic violence (DV) published
in the Florida State University Law Review provides a promising
new twist to a thorny problem - assuming, of course, it can
overcome stereotypcal attitudes and get the attention it deserves. 

It was one of those stories that not even a Hollywood scriptwriter could dream up: A NASA astronaut stows a steel mallet, 4-inch knife, rubber tubing, gloves, and trash bags in her car. She straps on an astro-diaper and drives 900 miles to Orlando. During the wee hours of February 6, she disguises herself with a wig, glasses, and trench coat. Confronting her romantic rival in the airport parking lot, she douses Colleen Shipman with pepper spray.
