		<description><![CDATA[clunker
This is an  attack on a private businessman, who incidentally is not on the same political side of the aisle as Obama, and his freedom to keep the name of his privately owned team. This is not irrelevant,. sorry ass, or a trite issue. This is totalitarianism. Every last nook and cranny of the nation is controlled by the regime. PC has already cost us fo much in terms of our God-given   liberty to say what we want. The President&#039;s involvement is an all out assault not only on the First Amendment but on the very foundation of capitalism. The Alinskyite Marxist does not pick and freeze a target at whim. In fact, this Redskins controversy is exactly the kind of tactic that can kill more than a few very precious birds with one soundbite. We better wake up to tthe Marxist strategies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering, a team name is chosen to represent, hopefully, a successful and skilled sport team... it is a compliment. No one names a team &quot;tech support guy&quot;... as much as we love the tech support guy (or gal, God help me for the slight, opps, I guess I shouldn&#039;t mention God either, ok, I&#039;m dammed) no one expects him to necessarily have the skill and stamina, the disciple and training, the quick thinking on a field of sport, the fair play and honor (seemingly less important these days, but used to be) to win the day.... team names are chosen to inspire and in a semi magical way to imbue the team with the superior qualities represented by the name chosen. It is an honor not an insult. Teams are named, Vikings, Saxons, Braves... heroic figures, or Pirates... names associated with adventure.... no one names them Vendors, Nannies, Taxidrivers... and perhaps considering how hard these people may work, it might apply, but the lack romance and a nice and easily recognized team logo is also a factor (the Redskin&#039;s have great logos).
 it is sad that a few people, trying to make themselves important (&quot;power&quot; is a good summary) wreck havoc with a positive tradition.
And there are always plenty willing to hop on the wagon, even if it is not going anywhere useful....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the Native American issue has another failing, the natives did not call the continent America.... so once again the European terminology is imposed on the local people. They are not &quot;Native Americans&quot; any more than the are Indians... it all has the same failing of the &quot;blacks&quot; or &quot;African Americans&quot;, titles.... 

I love the examples, great development of the theme ;-)

I&#039;m not Hungarian any more, I&#039;m Magyar... the parts that are not Nederlander, Deutsche, Bohemian....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The self-appointed police of language are at it again.  They tell us that we cannot call American Indians &quot;Indians&quot; because Columbus made a mistake when he discovered America and thought he had discovered the Indies.  Of course, American Indians are not found in India.  (The West Indies are, according to this logic, not the West &quot;Indies.&quot;)
These same self-appointed police tell us that we must call American Indians &quot;Native Americans,&quot; a gross mistake, since a &quot;native American&quot; is anyone born in the United States.  Then they tell us that we must not call the Eskimos &quot;Eskimo&quot; but &quot;Inuit,&quot; because in the Eskimo language they call themselves &quot;Inuit&quot; - but they do not insist that we call Germans &quot;die deutsche&quot; because in the German language the word for German is &quot;deutsch,&quot; or that we call Greeks &quot;Hellenes&quot; because in the Greek language the word for Greek is &quot;Hellenica,&quot; etc.  Nor do they complain that Greenland should not be called &quot;Greenland&quot; since it covered with snow and ice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It impossible to add anything substantive to Daniel
Greenfield&#039;s excellent piece on the Redskins and the never ending Liberal
nonsense about racism and supposed racial slurs. So I&#039;ll just throw in some thoughts of my own. First, most Liberals (aka Lily Whites) don&#039;t have a clue about race and race relations, either past or present. They seem to assume that anyone that disagrees with their view just has to be a racist.


Having grown up in a racially mixed neighborhood gives me a little better insight.  As a child I was often referred to as white-trash by the black children at the school behind our flat.  It bothered me then; it wouldn&#039;t bother me now.  Times have changed and relations were getting much-much better until the current crop of dividers got control. I&#039;m not sure of their motivation or their objectives for all the stupid and often hateful things they do; but, I am sure that their actions are destructive and will lead to a diminished and improvised society, both economically and morally.]]></description>
