We had to reach all the way across the Atlantic to find this one. But first, the context.
Someone has invented an “app” that filters out filthy language and replaces foul words with cleaner substitutes. It’s intended for use by parents who don’t want their kids drowned in f-bombs every time they read an e-book or play a video game ( http://godfatherpolitics.com/21330/liberals-outraged-clean-reader-app-cleans-objectionable-language/ ).

Here is the objection, word for word (as reported by the U.K. Telegraph), from a British novelist I never heard of:
“Well, we’ve been down this road before. We should know where it leads by now. It starts with blanking out a few words. It goes on to drape table legs and stick fig leaves onto statues. It progresses to denouncing gay or Jewish artists as ‘degenerate.’ It ends with burning libraries and erasing whole civilizations from history.”
Wow. I guess we should be grateful to Fifty Shades of Grey and the Porn Channel for keeping our civilization going. Who knew the work of graffiti artists was so important? Do you know, I’ll bet that’s exactly what happened to the Indus Valley civilization–they bleeped out an f-bomb, and the next thing…pfft! Gone!
And this from the people on the Loving Left who want to sue you and destroy your livelihood, and sentence you to sensitivity training, every time you speak a single word that they don’t like! This from the cockroaches who set up campus speech codes and “human rights” commissions to flatten anyone who might diverge from their notion of diversity–which is lib-speak for uniformity. This from the little tinpot fascists of the Clinton campaign who tell you in advance what words you will not be allowed to use when discussing their idol’s presidential aspirations.
I wish we could filter them out.
I’d buy that app in a heartbeat. We watch a lot of movies after they make it to regular TV stations because the profanity is bleeped out.
Great satire, Lee – you must have gotten a good nights sleep.
Well, I wrote that post 3 years ago…
I’d chip in if we could find an available island to send them all to – permanently!
Yeah, they always promise to flee the country if a Republican is elected, and then they never do. Like I say, libs never tell the truth on purpose.

I wonder if these people have any idea how many Americans would stand up and cheer if these hardcore libs left.
Tens of millions of us!
