Holder, America, and Cowards

Let's face it America, for the most part, we are a nation of cowards.

How many people can you say would stick to their guns/stand up for what they believe in, even when the norm dictates otherwise? How many people parrot other individual's beliefs - failing to actually formulate their own?

A great deal of people do just that; Look at political correctness - while its intentions are noble I'm sure, what does it serve?

Now don't get me wrong. I'm all for being polite and having manners and all that stuff; However, with freedom of speech comes the obligation (and one could argue requirement ) to deal with others - albeit ignorant and inflammatory - statements.

It's the like the frosting on a cake for some people - you want the cake, but don't like the frosting - still, it comes with the cake.
