Political correctness is one of the biggest arguments in favor of–and against–the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump. How do Americans feel about it? A new Rasmussen poll shows a clear majority opposed.

From Rasmussen Reports:

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump during the first pre-primary debate reiterated a point he’s made throughout his campaign that “the big problem this country has is being politically correct.” Most Americans strongly agree with that sentiment.

It’s easier for democrats to shame people into silence than defend their liberal extreme positions...

I agree with this. PC kills. If you try to be “a nice person” 24/7/365, you’ll lose your mind and become a wimp. Political correctness is why the illegal aliens are trampling all over our country, our history, our culture and our flag. The whole world is laughing at us right now. America, the home of the wimps.

PC has become ridiculous in this country. Just about everyone is afraid to say what is on their mind because of PC, especially at work, in fear of getting fired or at the least into trouble.

There was a time that common sense dictated PC, but anymore, it just seems there is no longer common sense in our country.

I posted this a while back when Trump entered the race, but I said I could support The Donald for the same reason I supported Pete DuPont back in 1988 when he ran. Neither he nor Trump can be bought. You can't say that about anyone else in this race. The corporatists/fascists run this country now and we need an abrupt end to that.

Hmmm...that sounds so familiar where have I heard that before? Nazi Germany? Soviet Union?

And, that queer is abnormal, that tattoos and piercings and fat muffins are ugly, that spanking is sometimes necessary and proper, that public education is messed up, that socialism sucks, that we need 90% fewer lawyers, that unions are mostly corrupt, that millenials are spoiled and lazy, and that trespassers should be shipped out.

Political Correctness is a mind control tool of extremists, mainly but not limited to, the Left. It is an example of 2% of the population controlling the other 98% by a simple trick which the 98% are gullible enough to accept. It is a house built on sand and will come tumbling down when someone (Trump) pushes it.

PC came from The Frankfurt School ideology. They conceived of concensus building and sensitivity training. They and their minions at Columbia U are a big part of America’s downfall, as they hoped for. Obama is a crowning achievement.

PC is the active expression to advance moral relativism.

I must say that I am encouraged that at least a majority of Americans can see how destructive PC is. If you had asked me I would have thought less than half would agree that PC is a problem.

Yet, how is it that the remaining 25% seem to control virtually every aspect of our public lives?

Political correctness is the only reason we have a foreign Muslim “president” as well; the left can’t back down on their suppression of speech at this point. It has won more for them in seven years than they’d gained since LBJ...
