No it's not. I'm not playing that game "because" of illiterate barbarians conversing on Twitter of the int-er-net. Screw them!

I engage in this when the mood strikes me. I think it can be clever, if used sparingly. It's a way to poke fun at overused Leftist narratives... "I oppose Obama because, racist."

Whether it is justified to adjust the English language rules of grammar, I don't know. I'd rather not, because Traditionalist.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I do also disagree with changing rules of grammar on the basis of "but all the cool kids are doing it" crap.

You mean there are rules?  Sheez, and to think that at one time I actually wrote for a living!  ::facepalm::
