Innovations In Wingnut Constitutional Doctrine

A third-stringer at Andrew Breitbart’s new site Stalinist Aesthetics For Dummies starts us off with some boilerplate that reminds us that “politically correct” has become the most useless phrase in the English language:

If you call 411 or customer service for almost any service-related company today, you’re greeted with, “Thank you for calling. Press #1 to continue in English.” Excuse me, but when did English cease being the default language in this country?

See, there’s this economic system called “capitalism.” Businesses, as a rule, tend to want to attract customers. Offering to conduct business in languages many of their customers are more comfortable speaking will tend to attract customers. Oh, and if the introduction is in English and English is the first option, then English is in fact the default language. I realize this is very complicated.

Wait, it gets better:

And this is just one of the politically correct or (PC) aspects invading our culture and stifling free speech.

Um, so businesses being willing to conduct business in multiple languages…is a violation of free speech. (Now if we passed a law forcing business to conduct business solely in English, that would be upholding free speech.) I dunno, I think that’s even funnier than Sarah Palin claiming that being criticized violates her First Amendment rights.

Elsewhere at SAFD, the Stalinist-in-chief provides us with another classic of anti-“PC” rhetoric. Now, it’s hardly surprising to see that conservatives seem unwilling to consider the possibility that Clint Eastwood is playing a character, some of whose views he may not even endorse, in Gran Torino; this is a pretty common failing among winguts. The fact that they think that the character’s overt racism makes him a conservative hero, though…well, they said it, I didn’t.
