I think what we have here is a clear conspiracy, and I am sure we will somehow find that the Chief of Police who lost his job in this incident was simply not bowing and bending to the whim of the NWO and "secret government".
But seriously folks. These are EXACTLY the kinds of things that are flat-out WRONG about the "Liberal Left's" approach to things. It is not bad enough that NOWHERE in the US Constitution's Bill Of Rights is there a "right to not be offended by anyone". But now we see that political correctness is actually ERODING one of the most important tenets of the Constitution, namely to "ensure domestic tranquility."
This police chief took on a responsibility to ensure domestic tranqulity through the law enforcement arm of his city. It is obvious to any fool that an overweight police officer is nowhere near as effective as a healthy, trim, and fit officer. Regardless of this police chief's management style, or how he worded his "jelly belly" memo, there is little doubt or even protest against the fact that he was DOING THE RIGHT THING to protect the people of his city more effectively. A boss is SUPPOSED to let his people know when and where they are "slipping" in the prosecution of their duties.
For all of CigMan's "warnings" about how the "radical right" is "ruining" America, I see far worse effects coming from the "political correctness" tirades of the "liberal left". While it may certainly be valid to be hawkish and concerned about the "infringements of our rights and freedoms" by over-the-top conservatives, why is it that we are totally ignoring the WEAKENING of our abilities to PROTECT FREE SPEECH and ENSURE DOMESTIC TRANQULITY all at the hands of being "politically correct"?
A free America is a STRONG America. Using harsh words with someone to make a point is NOT a crime, and it IS protected as free speech. Don't let the fanatical, liberal "secret government" take that away from us!

I have powers that make Joe McMoneagle look like a bad magician. I can read anyones mind on earth. I know all your 'evil plans' I'm from an agency that has no initials. (Taken from "Heroes") That has independent funding sources. We are isolated from Congress and the President, They don't even know we exist. We were set up by Dwight D. Eisenhower. We have super surveillance technology that allows to watch people anywhere on earth and listen. Like the movie "Deja Vu" (coming soon to theatre near you.) He told to us to watch and wait for the time when corporations and the government would unite against the people. And then strike. By telling Americans about the truth. Truth about secret societies and corporate boards all intermingled. People who want to start a oppressive one world government. People who want to depopulate the world and start over instead of leaving and going to the stars with technology being hoarded by our military. We were told to protect America at all costs. Ike was told the plan. And he rejected it.
