As someone earlier posted on FR, the so-called "political correctness" imposed by the Far Left is more aptly described as "cultural Marxism." As such, it may once have masked itself as what the first President Bush may call a "crusade for civility," but that is just one of the many masks it wears.

The term describes a tool to stifle dissent and to shut out ideas which do not advance the goal of the Far Left in America.

Should anyone doubt this, just observe the Left's perfect willingness to be "politically incorrect" about persons who express Judeo-Christian ideas, about candidates whom they deem to be a threat to their "progressive" march, or any number of others of the ideas of liberty guaranteed by America's Founders' United States Constitution.

Suggested descriptions of "political correctness":

- "cultural Marxism"
- "moral equivalency"
- "leveling" (a term used by Samuel Adams to describe wealth redistribution)
- "relativism"
- a perverted form of "tolerance"
- Add your own
