I’ve noticed Kirsten slowly drifting to the right on a lot of issues. It looks to me like she’s has been influenced by the good ones over at FNC, and maybe her faith is also responsible. She still comes down on the wrong side of issues (is in fact paid for alternative viewpoint), but there is hope for her IMO. This story really does not surprise me.
Finding God will do it everytime.
"Political Correctness" is not something new with the American Left. It has its origins a hundred years ago with Marxist totalitarian ideologies. It came about as a way to quiet and shut out any opposition to Marxism. It was brought into the US and introduced as Critical Theory in the 1930's by a couple of German university professors. It was passed on to the anti-war, Make Love, Not War hippie generation, who have now grown up and are running the institutions of society, i.e. the media, the universities, the government, etc.
The name Critical Theory was morphed into Political Correctness, so as not to tarnish its name with Marxism. But Political Correctness is nothing more than cultural Marxism. It utilizes the same Marxist technique to quell any opposition by shaming and shutting down dissent to the Leftist ideology in society. It is not about what is right or wrong but solely about what the Marxist Left chooses to believe and then imposing those beliefs on the rest of society. If your square block doesn't fit into their round hole, then your block will be cut and shaped by sheer force to make it fit. You will believe what they believe, or else. It is insidious and dangerous. It stifles free speech and the exchange of ideas.
The Left will use ad hominem attacks to stop you from criticizing their side or candidate. Examples abound. Most obvious is being called a racist for criticizing anything about Obama. Expect the same out of Hillary Clinton's campaign. Your will be called a sexist if you criticize her. Her campaign has already come out with a dozen or so words that journalists can't use in describing Hillary. Really? REALLY? This is pure Marxism. Global warming or climate change, whatever they are calling it this week, is another example. Try and argue the facts on global warming with the Left. Immediately, you're called a denier and if you press the issue, they will tell you that the debate is over and/or it is settled science. There is already a consensus. And when exactly did that debate take place? I don't remember any debate. First I heard about it, the debate was over. How convenient. Then there's the discussions of radical Islam. Immediately, if you are not tolerant of these blood-thirsty savages who maim, murder, mutilate and behead people who don't agree with them (including making a drawing of their pedophile leader), then you are branded an intolerant Islamaphobe. Try talking about homosexuality and LGBT issues. You're definitely a homophobe right off the bat. And it goes on and on and on with whatever issue or speech the Left wants to control.
If we don't push back against the Leftists on this issue, it could well be the death of our country, which was founded on freedoms and liberties. Political correctness is the antithesis of these ideals. I choose not to practice it or acquiesce to it at all.
Yep yep yep. And our beloved BHO was groomed at Columbia U., which those Marxists were given as their indoctrination HQ.
A video about Marxist’s infiltration and subversion of America and a key entity, The Frankfurt School (= Columbia U.). Long but very historically enlightening.

The younger the population gets, the less communism and Marxism are considered a bad thing. They are taught these ideals in school. They don't have the actual real-world experiences to know that capitalism is a better system for people to thrive in than communism. They have been taught that a system like socialism (which is nothing more than communism-lite) is better. But what they probably don't realize is that socialism has failed in every single instance it has been attempted in the history of the entire world. A loser. A dud. Only the socialist elite do well under that system. Everybody else does poorly.
I think that they firmly believe if THEY do it, with all their THEIR modern knowledge and intellectualism. it will work this time.
