GUEST POST by Darr Moon (Challis, Idaho) —
Heaven forbid you've ever used the racial pejorative "N" word. Just ask Paula Deen for pointers on that one. She's now a social outcast for comments made years ago. The roster of holy media commentators, business partners and political progressives are running from the stink the "N" word has wrought. How offended everyone is as they make their way up the highway of political correctness to greater progressive position of wealth and social conscience. By the way, not a problem if you're one of the sacred cows of race or a late night Hollywood entertainer.
Not that I'm particularly fond of pejoratives of any sort it just seems that this continuing nuance is more of political expedience used as a weapon to target rogue detractors or as a means to deflect larger issues that need not be made public at this time. Although offensive, the use of such school yard tactics by renaming offensive words to just single letters makes the reader or the listener reopen their secret rolodex of nasty words and refresh them in their mind. So the "N" word is right up there with the "F" word and the "B" word and the "C" word and if you know all these single letter nasty words you're pretty rotten aren't you.
I dredge this up to remind those of you so pure of heart to pick up a stone as Walmart, Target and the Food Network have to fling it at the poor and wicked Paula Deen. Paula, a former Obama supporter, may wish to rethink that commitment and her comment as she toils with the low life scum that is anyone who would or has used bad language without the single letter disqualifier. The word police are working hard ferreting out those rogue elements of society so that the unwashed can be sorted from the socially conscience. I hope you're not among them. Please know that as hard as the word police labor they are only a subsidiary of the more powerful and as yet unveiled thought police who won't go kindly away if you even think of saying something off color.
Not to be an alarmist but all the workings and hidden mechanisms of the National Security Agency, the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Homeland Security are there watching to make sure you color within the lines and keep a progressive tone. These predetermined lines must not be crossed. And if you think the statute of limitations may compensate for your misspoken words, your ill willed type or your whispered words of gossip at the water fountain years past; again, I ask you to have a word with the beguiled Ms. Deen. Now you may realize why the acres of ground are so desperately needed at the Utah records storage facility. All that chatter, those emails the phone calls and the raving editorials all kept safe there for when, at such time, they may ripen and give cause to sniff a little closer. Don't worry though, if you haven't done anything wrong there's really nothing to worry about.
