The realities of the PC pecking order

Political Correctness defies logic for the most part, but the ranking of "causes" can be observed among adherents of PCism from time to time. While Blacks and Women are both minorities and (according to the religion of PCism) deserving of special allotment of rights, Blacks are obviously considered more PC than women (thus Hilary's fall). "The Poor" is also a PC victim group, but being black and poor makes one more of a victim than being white and poor. But even being black and poor, apparently, comes as a distant second to issues of the environment, as one California legislator rudely illustrates in the following clip (warning contains profanity)

Pastor Robert Jones of Oak Park United Methodist Church was appearing before an informational hearing on California's efforts to cut automobile emissions. Pastor Jones was arguing that government imposed mandates and taxes hurt the poor and vulnerable. Before he could finish, Democrat Senator Pat Wiggins, interrupted and said, "Excuse me, but I think your arguments are bull----."

What Pastor Jones obviously didn't understand is that the poor, even the black poor are considered dirt compared to environmental issues. Democrats don't care how much people suffer while the government protects a minnow in a Colorado stream or an Owl seen nearby the proposed location for new housing. Animals are more important than "The Poor".

C'mon Pastor Jones, read the back of the victim card they handed you. It clearly states "...all rights, privileges and benefits presumed to accompany The Victim Card are hereby null and void when conflicting with environmental issues, whether real, imagined or invented."
