The Patriot Post® · 'Microaggression'
Jonah Goldberg: “The latest buzz phrase is ‘microaggression.’ These are allegedly racist, homophobic or sexist statements made by people with no bigoted intent. Essentially, if someone can rationalize a reason to take offense that’s all the proof required. Microagressions are the new vectors for the ‘disease of evil thinking.’ … Democratic House leaders Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Steny Hoyer have dubbed critics of Obamacare ‘simply un-American.’ Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid insists the libertarian Koch brothers are ‘un-American.’ President Obama himself has a knack for suggesting that he cares about America while his opponents don’t. He also likes to suggest the time for debate is over on the issues where he’s made up his mind. … Today, it is a kind of evil-thinking not to be part of the war on evil thinking. And so the cause of tolerance demands evermore intolerance.”
