Did I say previous reply? I meant, "next reply". ;') [blush]

I came across this quote on Former Dodger's profile. It's apropos.

Theodore Dalrymple, in a recent interview:

"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."

This should be taught in the schools of all free people.

Excellent!

Clearly, it is the weakest of people (ie., American liberals) who are most prone to the propaganda of political correctness. The same weakness of mind and intellect that compels liberals to demand utterly meaningless "apologies" and other admissions of "mistakes" etc., from those who are strong is the same weakness that makes them vulnerable to the propaganda of guilt and self-hatred. They are incapable of understanding that such apologies, if they came, would accomplish absolutely nothing. Yet, they need them for reasons that nobody - - not even they - - could ever rationally explain.

That clown David Gregory is the perfect case in point.
