Most of you have probably heard by now of the controversy involving the ABC TV show "Desperate Housewives."  It isn’t a show I watch, as I’m not enamored of cultural poison.

Based on what I’ve heard, though, there’s much with which one could
find fault.  Yet, what does this controversy involve?  A character on
the show who hoped that her doctor didn’t get his degree in a place
like the Philippines.

Everyone is just too darn sensitive, and because we’re tolerating
this hyper-sensitivity, more and more groups are getting in on the
act.  Heck, when Filipinos start  playing the victim card, you know it
has gotten bad.  After all, I’ve known many people of Filipino descent
and have always found them to be well-mannered, industrious and not
overly imbued with ethnic patriotism.  So I’m sad to see some of them
jumping on this bandwagon.

More ridiculous still, I hear that some Filipino group wants to
parlay this into a payday, requesting that ABC establish scholarships
for people of Filipino descent.  Isn’t multiculturalism great?  I think
this is despicable; it’s gold digging of the first magnitude. 

As a side note, Bill O’Reilly discussed this issue with an obviously
homosexual guest named Kevin Nadal, who has a Ph.D. in counseling
psychology (do I have to tell you what I think about people who hold
doctorates in social science?).  This character was doing his best to
make a mountain out of this molehill.  What most may not know is that
he seems to be a professional victim, as indicated by this article, which speaks of how he once "married himself" to call attention to discrimination against single people.

But that’s not why I mention his appearance.  At one point O’Reilly
asked him rhetorically if he had heard the term "paddy wagon."  Well,
get this: He hadn’t.  O’Reilly had to explain the term to him as if he
were a child.

You may think me picayune, but it warrants mention because it’s
emblematic of how many so-called experts are actually sorely lacking in
education.  And there’s another factor.  I think it may give you some
insight into what kind of mind finds leftist dogma appealing.
