    own paragraph)
    President elect Donald trump blames the PC for the attack at the

    Pulse nightclub in Orlando, as well as the rise of the military group of the

    Islamic State. Not only does he agree to this The Political correctness has

    become a major bugaboo for the right in the past decade. Though the The
    Daily caller has as far as to have claimed that the political correctness kills

    the americans, but conservatives have their own different versions, their

    own sets of rulers regulating speech, behavior and acceptable opinions,

    calling it the patriotic correctness. examples would be like the aftermath

    of the catastrophic event of 9/11 that ran up to the Iraq-War. Later on

    causing so much controversy 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat and

    then knelt for the national anthem to protest police brutality and had many

    fans burning his jersey and complaining it he hates america so much to get

    out. Till this day things just end up getting worse, and worse by the minute

    especially after Donald's Trump win for the Presidency.

    Your Opinion of the Event (at least 3 sentences).


    My opinion on the event is that everybody should have the right to

    think what they want, but treat each other equally and not call out someone

    for the skin color or their heritage because that is who they are we are all

    the same and shouldn't be treated like horrible for what people are. It is

    also not fine to be calling a foreigner a illegal alien because one way or

    another we are all the same we are all one species and are not different

    from one another.
