Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about this morning – the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic.
We call it “Political Correctness.” The name originated as something of a joke, literally in a comic strip, and we tend still to think of it as only half-serious. In fact, it’s deadly serious. It is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.
If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. It is an effort that goes back not to the 1960s and the hippies and the peace movement, but back to World War I.

In a nutshell, political correctness is the establishment of a moral code which excludes God.
An abomination.
The moral code of the New Age.
There are a lot more names for the list of culprits than just Horkheimer, Gramsci, Marcuse and those guys.
You also have to assign blame to Hegel, Kant, Rousseau, Hume, and Sartre, Camut, Derrida, Foucoult and others. I’ve read some of the above, and I’ve read about some of the above. Many others from throughout the centuries that I know even less about are certainly to share in the blame.
In short, they were all about trying to take God out of the equation and to do away with truth and accountability. And to attempt to impose chaos, such as the idea of synthetizing thesis and antithesis. This was Hegel’s version of yin and yang—the merging of opposites into one which is also very unGodly.
We are fighting the enemy within the only problem? we are not fighting becuase we havent realized yet that we are at war
So, “Cultural Marxism” morphed into “Political Correctness”. Yeah, I’ll bet it was hard to sell as “Cultural Marxism”.
