If that's a stereotype then its a complimentary one in my view. I say what I think and I think well of others who do likewise. And few people could have been more "incorrect" than former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (known for saying Obama had a "nice suntan", among other things. That one still cracks me up). And he was the longest serving Italian Prime Minister for many years.
Even in America think of the "incorrect" Tom Tancredo, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the late Joey Vento, and now maybe Rick Santorum -- all of Italian descent
A RIGHT-wing Italian deputy mayor has found himself at the centre of a political storm after his anti-gay slurs against a left-wing governor provoked widespread outrage - and a rebuke from his own party.
And much of the drama has been played out on the Facebook pages of the politicians involved.
Giuseppe Ripa, deputy mayor of the southern town of Lecce, launched his attack on Nichi Vendola, the governor of Apulia, in a posting on Facebook.
"In nature, there exist only two types human beings: the man and the woman," he wrote. The rest were psychiatric cases apt for psychoanalytic treatment, said Ripa, a member of Silvio Berlsuconi's People of Freedom party.
Lecce's mayor, Paolo Perrone, was quick to distance himself from the remarks. "I like to practice politics by debating with my adversaries on the issues, not on the sexual preferences of this or that person, which are a matter of one's private life," he wrote in his own Facebook posting.

"Political correctness is a greater threat to our freedom and liberty than is terrorism..."
The mayor's remarks were correct in pointing out the irrelevance and obvious bigotry of his deputy mayor. The grossly over-paid Italian politicians should be more concerned about the corruption and their collapsing economy, and the effect it's also having on the world's economy, but politicians generally like to argue over diversionary issues - equivalent to how the deckchairs should be arranged on the Titanic.
Political Correctness just another code word for SOCIALISM
2:59's and 4:06's endlessly repeated phrases are becoming like spam and losing any intended effect.
Agreed 4:12,
is RIGHT-wing capitalized while left-wing is not for some reason?

If they do lose their effect, we will go on being a nation of weak sheep.
" being a nation of weak sheep."
Only the conservatives. Only the conservatives. Hear that dittoheads?
Ive always wondered about the appeasement for a lot of sexual issues.. If someone was convinced they were a spy and the Chinese government was out to get them and they were extremely paranoid and a danger to themselves and others, the expected treatment would not include having the public treat this person like the spy they are and to make accommodations as to not make this person deal with reality.. They would be locked up and treated so that some day they may come to know reality... So why would a man who is convinced he is a woman be treated any differently? They wouldnt need to be locked up since they are not a danger to themselves and others, but why would the treatment not involve making this person live with reality and instead involve surgery and making the public complicit in their delusions?
They want the population to treat the abnormal and deviant as normal, and healthy. It’s contrary to logic, contrary to reality, and contrary to common sense.
