arlene peck... you may not know this name, and that is probably to your benefit. I had the unhappiness of finding her site today on the web and read more hatred in a few sentences than I manage to eck out in a week. I envy her undeniable rage and all that... problem is, I am kidding and she is not.
Her back story goes something like this... she married and arab man or something and was made into a sexual slave/silent housemaid and now thinks the entire arab culture has to be done away with.
All this aside, she sets me off the most by declaring that she is not politically correct. Ever since Bill Moyers used this term incorrectly on his show, people have been using it incorrectly everywhere... To be politically correct requires to speak the truth, in ways that do not involve prejudice, but reason. The political correctness that most people criticize are simply judeo christian values, ways to get along with our neighbors, etc... showing respect where respect is due....
The philosophy of political correctness comes out of the research showing how powerful certain words are. In fact, we all have a few words in our heads that are evil... nigger is a word that comes to mind here in Chicago, where the rascists who use this word outnumber anyplace I've had the pleasure to dwell in this vast land of sauntering sinners and sick, sick sickos and people just trying to make it through the day with a little interest.

This is why the conspiracy theorists have so much fodder in this world
