Have a Politically Incorrect Happy Halloween!

Friends, it's that time of year again. The day of masks and costumes,
candy galore, parties aplenty, spooky stories told by the campfire
or the fireplace, and ... being haunted by political correctness.
Oh, yes; the frighteningly far left-wingers have trained their PC
guns on this most surreal and supernatural of holidays, seeking to
play their malicious tricks on those of us who love this seasonal treat.
What is their stratagem? Halloween costumes. Specifically, costumes
of certain characters being of races and ethnicities, i.e. Native
American (Pocahontas), Arab (Aladdin), and Asian (Mulan) to name
but a few. Appropriation of another culture, don't you know. And
these PC rules are imposed in some communities, especially on college
campuses. Notre Dame University strongly discourages dressing up
as any of the aforementioned Disney characters, including
Snow White (?!). You may be wondering, my great and wonderful
readers, why Snow White, who is as white as her name suggests,
has been added to this list of forbidden characters to dress up for
Halloween as. Notre Dame's diversity enforcers say that the young
lady is offensive because she is by definition (you can't make this up!)
a white supremacist (!!). Robert Ripley, call your office.

Also out, according to the PC cops on the campus scene: afros,
dreadlocks, ponchos, tattered rags and patches (offensive to the poor,
even though it's the style with many students in high schools and
colleges), or prison garb (no orange jumpsuits, very hurtful to anyone
who is serving or has served time). Cowboys and Indians? Horrors!
Can't have anyone running around dressed like them either.
Smacks of racism on the frontier. Gee, it's a good thing that
John Wayne isn't around to witness this astounding stupidity.

Your favorite Peasant's own alma mater, the University of Saint
Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota issued an edict which was printed
on handbills and distributed to all their students prohibiting wearing
headdresses, Mexican sombreros, and geisha outfits. One UST coed
stated "I can't dress up as Pocahontas, so I think I'll go to the (campus)
party dressed as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a white lady pretending to be
an Indian." Sounds like a sharply witty response to the ridiculousness
of the school's officials and their PC rules; let's hope that the young
lady doesn't get in Dutch for her humorous display (Oops, your
very politically incorrect Peasant just appropriated a nationality!
Mea culpa!).

So, what to do? How then to celebrate Halloween in style?
DRESS UP IN ONE OF THE FORBIDDEN COSTUMES ANYWAY!!
This is, to the consternation of the ever-so-PC Left, still a free country!
Especially with You-know-who in the White House and the GOP in
charge of Congress! You'll be a hit with those of us who love and
cherish our freedom as Americans! And don't forget to vote on
November 6, when we can add to the majorities in both chambers
of Congress as well as to elect like-minded candidates to the state
governorships and legislatures. The more such fine folks we elect,
the more we will thwart the lefties and their plans to transform our
free and wonderful country into a woeful place where one would be
afraid to express himself for fear of being persecuted and prosecuted!

And have a wonderful, fun-filled, delightfully spooky, politically
incorrect, Happy Halloween!
