Simon Property Group, which owns Concord Mills mall, has revoked the lease of a kiosk seller called the Free Market Warrior because it sells items that are “not politically neutral.” It started with the usual: one politically correct wuss who went crying to mall management because she found the items being sold to be “offensive.” The kiosk sells posters and bumper stickers that say “Work Harder. Obama needs the money,” and other horrifyingly shocking (gasp!) statements. The author of the letter is, as you may have guessed, a female college graduate from UNC-Charlotte, Jennifer Ibanez. This is from the letter she wrote to the Charlotte Observer (emphasis mine):
“Free Market Warrior, a kiosk located adjacent to Bass Pro Shops, specializes in memorabilia embellished with pro-confederacy statements as well as those opposing both the government and President Obama. In addition, these products support ideas such as racisms, sexism, and even slavery. While freedom of speech is a Constitutional right it’s difficult not to believe that something just isn’t quite right here.
“I find it appalling that Concord Mills, North Carolina’s #1 visitor attraction, would condone such a message to be portrayed by their vendors and can’t imagine how the outside visitors’ perceptions of North Carolinians have been skewed by such an establishment.
“It’s hard to stay open-minded when such uncivilized and outdated ideas are endorsed on a daily basis. It’s 2009; please, let’s at least try to put this type of bigotry to an end.”
Note the letter’s typical left-wing, female tone of “oh my, I’m soooo offended.” Miss Ibanez, and most other women her age, have had the standard politically correct, collectivist-reactionary, group-hug mentality shoved into their tiny brains since they attended Head Start, and onward into their college years. These people emerge from the system and they all sound exactly the same and repeat the same tired, old lines about the confederacy (you think she knows anything about that conflict?), racism, offensive statements, bigotry, hate, yada yada. These kids are Xerox copies of one another. But that’s their diversity. Intellectually, they are empty shells. They are helpless, unenlightened milquetoasts, and they represent the bulk of America’s future. They are the reason why freedom may be on its last legs.
