Thank you SO much for that! I needed your comment so much at this particular moment in time.
I just received a “Christmas card’ in the form of an email from a liberal cousin of mine. The “Card” was in the form of a YouTube link on which I eagerly clicked to be uplifted with a lovely Christmas message.
OK..the video started out nicely enough, with pretty pictures of babies in Santa hats and snowy cityscapes.
Then, suddenly, it quoted Jesus as he chased the money changers out of the temple, with the “Den of thieves” statement, and then proceeded with a slide show of every phony TV preacher and cult leader imaginable. Jim Jones, Jimmy Swaggert, Paul and Sandra Crouch, Benny Hinn, Al sharpton, NeoNazis, Westboro baptist, on and on and on, all the while playing a syrupy contemporary protest song that is supposedly about Christmas. It was definitely a “Hit Piece” on Evangelicals, as there were no pictures of abuses by other religions. I have never followed any of these guys, and I don’t consider them authentic Christians, so why would this guilt trip be directed at me? This was in response to a real Christmas card that i sent my cousin, complete with envelope and stamp, and this is what i got in return?
As you noted, my first impulse was to feel guilt, as i identify myself as an Evangelical.
Thank you for your excellent analysis of the situation!
Have a Blessed Christmas, FRiend!
You are so right. I never feel guilty about the world around me and my place in it.
> PC is anti nature. It is the denial of truth.
I think its original intent was to be used as a form of white lying to keep from hurting other people’s feelings but the left really distorted that and used it as a tool to manipulate others. That’s the problem I see with it.
” Dr. Goncalo and his co-authors assigned 264 undergraduates to either single-gender or mixed-gender groups”
How did they determine whether the 264 undergraduates understood exactly what it means to be P.C. themselves and/or to have been negatively affected by the political correctness of others? They need to do this or something like it with people who have lived as adults through the past 35-40 years and not just a group of kids born after Operation Desert Storm (1991).
Stalinist? Statist? Believing in Insipidity?
All of the above, I think.
Post #7 misses the prevaling views of Americans not living in the Hives Of The Collective, AKA the “Big Sh*ty”.
Students, or other classes of “persons being destructive” may be seen in the future as animated “Sporting Clays” for the rifleman.
After all, why should the shotgunners have all the fun?
AS the Sheriff of Milwaukee County said, there is no right to be destructive or disruptive.

It’s a religion, even up to and including Original Sin (being born white.)
Many say that capitalism is the enemy of Marxism. I believe that a religion is the enemy of Marxism. It drove out a religion and took over its turf.
PC is a psychological prison, placing one under a constant threat, those who attempt to escape even temporally can find themselves in deep costly trouble if not in physical prison, mind control disguised as diversity.
It is only going to get worse, words like revolution in the context of freedom, or overthrow in the context of gov’t, can place one under intense scrutiny if not carefully crafted in such a manner as to provide a defense and establish reasonable doubt in an already corrupt legal system.
PC is the ruination of a free republic and must be defeated if restoration is to ever take place...IMO!
