Wussification of America

"Wussification of America; From “Everybody Gets a Trophy” to Bruce Jenner Transforming into Caitlyn. Talk about the “fundamental transformation of America”. Cartoon by A.F.Branco ©2015."


Then, of course, there is "chickification  " . . .Guys have to give up some hours at work and spend the time at home so the wife can leave home and go out and climb the corporate ladder. It's always women, minorities, victims, hardest hit. No wonder men are happy. And, of course, the underlying theme of all this is, nobody's really happy. The country is so unfair; it's so rotten; it's so prejudiced; it's so bigoted; nobody is happy, and we're going to do a story on the CBS Evening News to tell you, even if you're happy, you shouldn't be happy, because there are so many people unhappy, and it's not right for you to be happy, if so many people, especially women, aren't happy. This is what passes for hard news on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. It's just very sad. It's just very sad to see a once-great institution like this be devoted to the chickification of the news."  Rush Limbaugh.

What does Rush Limbaugh mean by the phrase "chickification of America"?
 "Best Answer:  It means that America is acting more and more feminine. The perception that America must be liked by other countries resulting in the castration of our military. Let the military do what they do...fight bad guys and protect us. Rush also sometimes uses it to describe how Americans have more and more dealt with our domestic policy. Instead of dealing with facts and statistics to set policy, we use what makes people FEEL good. If we would just look at the facts both here and in Iraq our political solutions would be totally different. If you compare our generation to the generation from World War II we do act like little girls." . . .
