It's tempting to declare double standards a Korrectnik plot, but, that misses the central point. Granted, Korrectniks Emerilized this egregious flaw in the Amerikan character, but they don't own a monopoly on it. To demonstrate how pervasive this character blight has become, we'll expose this double standard epidemic by citing assorted familiar items from your local fishwrap's front pages:

Perpetrating the ultimate double standard, diversity bonkers Ivory Tower eggheads castigate 'whites' as inflexible racists who must be forced to coexist with the properly-hyphenated, but, these eggheads see nothing racist when they impose Educational Apartheid via racially-segregated orientations, racially-segregated housing, racially-segregated student centers, racially-exclusive courses, and racially-segregated graduation ceremonies.

Ethnocrats seek to achieve 'a level playing field' by relaxing the standard for the properly-hyphenated and tightening the standard for Asians and white males.

Conveniently forgetting all their well documented tirades against big government - not to mention their familiar mantra about big spending liberals - when mugged by a deficit their clan created, elephant clan true believers excuse their clan's record setting deficit as 'a good thing, because it's really 'small', as a percentage of the Amerikan GNP. Additionally, they opine that, in reality, the $500 billion deficit is 'good for the economy', besides record-setting deficits are a Bush family tradition.

NO-NAD's give lip service to 'equality' then demand a lower standard for women who apply for traditional male jobs in the police force, fire department, or military.

NO-NAD's abolish or render coed exclusively male clubs, organizations and colleges but defend to the death exclusively female clubs, organizations and colleges.

Ivory Towers shout 'academic freedom' from their rooftops, proclaiming their dedication to an educational forum where all ideas, noble or profane, can be discussed, debated or analyzed, objectively, dispassionately. The same ardent First Amendment fans implement this 'free exchange of ideas' by imposing Draconian speech codes on those who 'can't be trusted with a free exchange of ideas': white males, conservatives, libertarians...anyone who isn't a militant Marxist moron.

Ethnocrats shriek 'hate crime' whenever the perp is a white male and the victim one of the properly hyphenated, but keep silent when the perp is a 'protected minority'.

The vast Right-Wingnut conspiracy embraces democracy - majority rule - as their Amerikan birthright when they impose their own majority's whims by: criminalizing sexual practices between consenting adults; dictating which adults can, legally, become lifemates; outlawing the recreational use of certain plant byproducts - pot, for example; evicting evolution from science classrooms. But, let a different majority - another howling mob - criminalize their cheeseburger with fries cravings, outlaw their nicotine addiction, or banish their SUV from the Amerikan highway, and these vast right-wingnuts are outraged by this howling mob's assault on their individual liberty.

The Amerikan double standard's Siren song lures the unwary to abandon ideological consistency for the heady rush you get by talking from both sides of your mouth. If you play double standard bingo, don't expect PIG to pull its punches. PIG will expose double standards wherever we find them, no matter whose ox gets gored.
