Just appreciate others’ expressions of good will | News, Sports, Jobs – Maui News

I agree with the writer of Not about inclusion, its about respect (Letters to the editor, Dec. 31) that political correctness is a plague. His rant is Exhibit A.

When folks dont conform to ones notion of political correctness, he gets offended and retreats to his tribal dogma.

The writer claims that saying Happy Holidays diminishes what he believes is the true meaning of Christmas. Faith comes from within. If his faith in the true meaning of Christmas relies on others conformity to his notion of political correctness, his faith is exceedingly brittle.

He keeps saying that saying Happy Holidays offends many Christians. But Ive only heard that its politically incorrect to say Happy Holidays since the early 2000s, via the right-wing media.

I dont even know if these right-wing talking heads spewing this nonsense are actually Christians. They sound like money-grubbing demagogues, the type Jesus found intolerable. These right-wing demagogues have unfortunately garnered a following, however.

The writer ought to read Glenn Becks book Addicted to Outrage. As a recovering outrage addict and a former purveyor of outrage, Beck tells the afflicted to chill.

Whats wrong with just appreciating others expressions of good will? Can we all get along?
