Politically incorrect? What does this mean? Definitions can include something that is potentially offensive to a particular group of people or disregarding political correctness. Should elected officals be held to at least an equal if not higher standard?
This is my story.
It began in a crowded room at a political event this past week. It started as a civil conversation. I asked an elected offical, "What items can be voted on by paper ballot? It sure seems like that would not be a form of transparent, representative government."
That discussion struck a nerve with the elected official. It seemed like hell unleashed its fury on me that night. "F" bombs spewed from the elected official's mouth like ash and flames spew from a volcano. Feeling offended, I asked the volcano to quit spewing its fury. Only after a second elected official enouraged the volcano to stop, did the "F" bombs cease.
If my objective question illicits that type of response, it begs the larger question of this elected official's integrity and respect for common sense and decency.
