WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE AMOK! Posted: 17 May 2014 10:31 PM PDT While it may not be politically correct or prudent to use racial epithets, one must agree that Americans have a tradition of unrestrained political free speech and comments uttered in private and overheard and reported by a third-party should not constitute a firing offense unless the person is convicted of a criminal act. And, it appears that elected officials cannot be fired, but must resign or be recalled. Wolfeboro inundated with calls for police commissioner to resign over use of N-word The Wolfeboro Police Department’s dispatchers and the town manager’s office have fielded hundreds of phone calls and emails from as far as Alaska and Canada, reacting to reports of a police commissioner’s racist comment overheard in a restaurant. Many of those callers, according to Wolfeboro officials, do not understand that the police commission is a separate, elected board and not made up of sworn police officers. To clarify any murkiness, Wolfeboro Police Chief Stuart Chase held a press conference Friday afternoon, the day after hundreds of people turned out to protest Commissioner Bob Copeland’s racial slur brought to light by local resident Jane O’Toole, who complained to town officials. Copeland was overhead at a restaurant and has acknowledged calling President Obama a “f...... n.....”, but has refused to apologize or resign. “For the record, clarification is needed,” said Chase. “The Wolfeboro Police Commission is a three-person board whose duties and responsibilities are defined by New Hampshire (laws). The commissioners are elected officials who serve three-year terms. They hire, fire, establish compensation and promulgate the rules and regulations of the police department. They are not officers or sworn employees,” he said, adding that many callers assume the commissioners are police officers.

BTW, the episode is explicit and raunchy. Bottom line … Criminalizing boorish behavior in the absence of a criminal act is crazy and a tactic of progressive socialist democrats. The idea that a single race “owns” a word and can use it with impunity in daily speech, entertainment, and to communicate both greetings and derision is almost un-American. I am not sure the context of Copeland’s comments – whether or not they were a offhand and casual remark or brought about by the deep division President Obama and his cadre of progressive socialist democrats have brought about in the nation; especially when the President and his posse of socialists and communists continue to subvert the constitution on a daily basis. While I would not use the n-word to describe Obama, I would consider the “T-word” and suggest that he be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors including perjury, failure to uphold his oath of office, and obstructing justice. Whatever you may think of Bob Copeland, at least he was a man, he admitted what he said and did not try to weasel out of the taking the consequences of his actions. This is what it means to be an American and a man. And, what of the tattletale who ran to the media and town counsel? A not so hidden agenda? I wonder if she is a concerned citizen or a hyper-partisan progressive socialist democrat? Copeland's opinions may not be yours, and you are free to condemn his actions at the top of your lungs, but he is – as you are – an American who is free to express his opinion. That is until the progressive socialist democrats criminalize political speech and impose real sanctions for “incorrect thinking.” Is this the world we want? A world where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a progressive socialist democrat, one man, can essentially hold up all Congressional action? Time to remove progressive socialist democrats from the House and the Senate in 2014, and in the Presidency in 2016. -- steve
