"COWARDICE asks the question - is it Safe?"
"EXPEDIENCY asks the question - is it Politically Correct?"
"VANITY asks the question - is it Popular?"
"But the CONSCIENCE asks the question - is it Right?"
"And there comes a time when one must take a position that is
neither, Safe, nor Politically Correct, nor Popular, but one must
take it, because it is RIGHT!!"

Sorry, but I see that as full of half-truths, straw men and downright false propaganda.
It is not funny at all.
