    "Racism" aside, am I the only one who is tired of hearing about Cliven Bundy? I understand the cause at one point, but FFS, these non-MSM sources (IE: The Blaze, Young Cons, etc.) just keep going on and on and on with Bundy this, Bundy that. You'd think he has his own reality show...
    ETA: While on the subject of "racist" terminology, to include the two variants of "the N-word", I will say this... First off, I'm about as against political correctness as they come, but there are some terms that just do absolutely nothing to further a respectful and rational dialog in our common vernacular, and two of those such terms are the two aforementioned "N-words." I understand at one point they were words in common usage and were accepted, but times do change sometimes for the better and today, in our modern language those two words do absolutely nothing except anger, offend, shock, hurt or otherwise disparage, and really serve no positive purpose in modern language (similar to a certain C-word) in any real tangible context. If someone grew up or lived during a time when those words were acceptable to use, well, sorry, but they aren't any more and instead of going on using them (as in Mr. Bundy's case) how about taking a higher road and actually showing some respect for other people on this one?
