Pff. Already happened. Try saying something negative about homosexuals in any voice above a whisper, to anyone who’s not a close trusted friend.

It’s getting more and more like the Third Reich everyday.

What the heck, I never liked that ole freedom of speech thingy anyway.

I’m not fully knowledgeable on the subject, but as I understand it political correctness was rampant in Germany in the years prior to World War II.

Here we go again...

A Fortune 500 company I worked for made us all sign a 10 page “ethics” statement. In it we promised, on pain of instant dismissal, not to talk about race, religion, or politics. Jokes were specifically forbidden. When I asked why the wide-eyed HR lady said, “Oh, my, you have NO idea who you might offend.”

Conversation in the workplace was to be about work related issues. I asked a guy what he was doing for the weekend. He stood, covered his look around with a stretch and whispered, “I’m taking Sandra and the boys fishing.”

I’ve been careful what I say at work for years. Why bring trouble
onto your self at the office?

“If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.”—Ronald Reagan

[bobo1]

You are correct. It has been said that political correctness is nothing more than fascism masquerading as manners.

[workerbee]

political leaders and pundits are calling for Americans to engage in frank discussions about racial issues.

Riiiggghhhttt.

In case there's anyone still living in Mayberry, let's be clear: when someone says "we need a frank discussion about race", that's Orwellspeak for "all white people must admit they are racist pigs who will shoot black toddlers in the street."

Law and justice are increasingly color-centric, not color blind.

So. We know who’s rewritten law and justice, don’t we.

The problem is that the arbiter went too far in ruling that the employee's action contributed to a hostile work environment...

The arbiter acted stupidly. Probably belongs to a race that would label this comment as racist.

[DoughtyOne]

I’d agree to that analogy

[BudgieRamone]

Shaka..and the walls fell.

[eyedigress]

Very well pointed out..............

“And what is fascism?” Reagan said. “Fascism is private ownership, private enterprise, but total government control and regulation. Well, isn’t this the liberal philosophy?”

“The conservative, so-called, is the one that says less government, get off my back, get out of my pocket, and let me have more control of my own destiny,”

[theBuckwheat]

This amplifies victimhood to have a heckler’s veto over free speech.
