The only 2 choices: Incompetence or dishonesty

To write an entire column on the rampant obnoxiousness the politically correct culture has grown into would be a useless effort in the redundant. We all (at least the sane among us) understand the analogy that political correctness has evolved into a giant snowball barreling downhill while American society is a hapless town waiting at the bottom. Sooner or later we will have to pay for the willful neglect of some and the naïve perspectives of others. No matter what side of the politically correct fence you reside, however, at some point that snowball will reach an American culture that has become scared of its own shadow, and there will be consequences.

Whether it's a minority faction that's been brainwashed into believing that all which ails it is a direct result of a cruel, cold majority, or whether it's the denial that creates the inability to label radical Islam for fear of offending those who already hate us, or whether it's the unwillingness to secure our southern border, at some point the PC mine field all of us are forced to navigate will continue to collect casualties. I could go on ad nauseam preaching to the choir regarding the many damaging elements and ridiculous environment that political correctness has unwittingly created over the past few decades, but that would be about as original as a Fog Hat concert.

As I watch on a daily basis the current events that unfold around me, however, I've discovered a new faction of political correctness. Although this form isn't made up of the fundamental structure of sympathy based on race, sexual orientation or nationality, it definitely has the ability to greatly damage the fabric of American society.

This type of political correctness actually resides in the political arena and to some degree or another has been around probably as long as politics. It has seemingly escalated to a whole new stratosphere in the past half-decade as more and more inexplicable blunders occur that are just too disgusting to ignore. Some would simply refer to this behavior as "professionalism"; but here, I'm calling it "political" correctness.

I'm tired of hearing "I don't know" from our elected leaders and those who, based on the status of their leadership position, damn well should know. I'm tired of hearing yarns of the absurd trying to explain away the latest policy gaff. At some point those who "lead" this country and create policy that in many cases can have a direct effect on our daily lives need to know that although we may form a game face in the presence of their BS, we're not buying it – and they shouldn't be selling it.

There are few instances in life where things are staunchly black and white. On many occasions within the political arena at large and with this administration more specifically, however, there have been an ample number of events where a "cut and dried" approach would have served the American people very well, as opposed to the usual behavior of "political" correctness.

Just once when I see a response by Valerie Jarrett emphatically denying knowledge of Hillary Clinton's private email address, while also knowing how closely they worked on the Benghazi cover-up, I would like the general politically correct acceptance of such idiocy to be replaced with a more straightforward approach: Ms. Jarrett should be told directly that in her position if she was supposedly devoid of such knowledge, she's either incompetent or a liar. It's either one or the other.

When Barack Obama is asked about mass conspiracy and wrongdoing at the VA and he responds by saying that he just found out about it from watching the evening news, there's only two concise ways to view that explanation. Mr. Obama, you're either incompetent or a liar. There's really no other way to spin that, and I'm not sure which one's worse. And when I watch the painful, slithering testimony of Eric Holder at a House Judiciary Committee hearing related to Fast and Furious, the only two adjectives that come to mind to describe him are simply: incompetent or dishonest. It's just that simple – and it would have warmed my heart to no end had Rep. Darrel Issa referred to him as one or the other directly to his face.

Naturally, I could go on and on with similar accounts of less than forthright behavior stemming from this administration, but I don't think the need exists. As long as people have the supposition that their lies are believed and their incompetence is not comprehended, there is no motivation for better behavior. At this point it's simply time for the eloquence, professionalism and posturing to cease and a little good ol' fashion irreverence to show up. It seems that once again political correctness is running amok. In this case, however, the platform is just a little different.
