An Accuracy in Academia Address by Bill Lind
Variations of this speech have been delivered to various AIA conferences including the 2000 Consevative University at American University
Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about this morning – the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic.

The original term for it was “Cultural Marxism”.
But, that’s too “truthy” for the left to implement it effectively.
Patton was almost fired.
Imagine....firing the best tank commander we had in WWII because he slapped a soldier.
A great deal of it originates from communist think-tanks, either state sponsored, groups, or individuals. A century long task to tip over the apple cart of society and rot it out from the inside.
.
I recall an article titled “Visigoths InTweed” by Thomas Sowell I believe, twenty or 25 years ago that was about the emerging PC on campus...
If the soldier was really going to "man up" he would have beaten the sh!t out of that horse's ass right there in the tent. Patton, the soldier, and everyone In the tent knew that the soldier could never get away with that, which is what made Patton's actions such a serious breach of any standards of fairness.
I first heard the term ‘politically correct’ spoken prominently by George H.W. Bush back about 1989.
The original term for it was “Cultural Marxism”
And it referred to the realignment of the Bourgeoisie mind to become more like that of Chairman Mao and would present itself in nonsense like requiring all commune members to use the same toothbrush and banning restroom doors as unnecessary because everyone regardless of sex was entirely “equal”
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
The reason for the advance in government sponsored political correctness is the result of America's government Ineptocracy.
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’ra-cy)
A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
Ineptocracy appears to have overcome and replaced Kakistocracy. kak•is•toc•ra•cy, Kakistocracy is Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
I believe the accurate description for the private sector is the "Peter Principle".
PC came to the forefront in American society with the election of Slick Willie and his witchy wife in ‘92.
Frankfurt School: Marxist Infiltration And Subversion, Culture Wars
Pass it on.
Political correctness always comes into play when one has no just argument for their reasoning note every left winger and other crazy people.
Race baiters have learned how to use that system very well $$$$$$$$$.
Indeed. In fact for years I’ve argued that candidates for office need to run against it. Rush, Hannity et al should push for listeners to vote against PC if for nothing else. Fire school “administrators” and demand resignations of bureaucrats. We can play their game and should.
But you're correct that Political Correctness is nothing more than cultural Marxism, which is just a description of political correctness as a tool to stifle the opinions of the progressive Left. It utilizes the same Marxist technique to quell any opposition by shaming and shutting down dissent to the Leftist ideology in society.
It is definitely no joke, and yeah, it could well ruin us.
But now things are going too far. I was on a sports forum recently and I posted a comment about a coach's actions retarding the progress of a particular player. I got a notice from the moderator that I could not use that word. There's nothing wrong with that word in that context. I've heard the word used in science classes to describe the effect of a chemical agent on something.
But the people who ran the forum were so p.c. they would not allow a word that was not meant to offend anybody but merely to illustrate the effect of a coach's actions on a player. I had to find another word.
However, now society has forbidden laughing about any protected group which is basically much of the liberal constituency. It's all an attempt to control speech and censor conservatives. And it's succeeding.
Social Dogma . . . It never admits to prohibiting freedom of speech; instead, it masquerades
in the Third Reich as “allegiance to the Fuhrer,”
in the Soviet realm as “class struggle,”
in the United States as “politically correct vocabulary.”
It never admits to obstructing the path of the talented; instead, it decrees
purification of the race (Third Reich),
leadership of the proletariat (Soviet Union),
affirmative action (United States).
It never admits to confiscating the property of those who had succeeded; instead, it claims
to recover “what the Jews had plundered” (Third Reich),
to establish national ownership (Soviet Union),
to protect the environment (United States).
