Political Correctness Can Have ‘Ugly Consequences,’ says AMAC

Posted 07/25/2013 | AMAC In The Media, Press Releases

$\"dan-weber\"$ PC activists want to dictate ‘what is right and what is wrong.’ They tap our sense of fair play to justify their ends. –

BOHEMIA, NY, July 26 – Police would be unable to provide eyewitness descriptions of perpetrators under a proposed New York City law that seeks to limit profiling of suspects. \”It’s an overreach that would give criminals the edge and put innocent citizens at risk, all in the name of Political Correctness,\” according to Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Tajikistan may be the poorest of the five former Soviet Republics known as the \”Stans\” but that does not stop the landlocked Central Asian country from dreaming big, even on the sporting front.

A country ravaged by poverty and an Islamic insurgency that shares a border with Afghanistan has nonetheless found the time and motivation to tackle a new challenge — the Winter Olympics.

Tajikistan is due to send two skiers — Andrei Drygin and Alicher Kudratov — to Sochi for the 2014 Winter Games that begin in February.

There may be just one skistation in the country, dating from the Soviet era, with just the one ski-lift and an off-road vehicle needed to access the site, but Tajikistan is nonetheless a country made up of 93 percent mountainous terrain.

What a load of …

Of course lawmakers – like anyone else – say and do different things in public than in private (exhibit A – Anthony Weiner), but that does not mean their official ruminations should not be public.
