Political correctness is not class or dignity.

Back in 1775 when the British were evicting people from their homes, consuming their supplies and raping their wives, men with class, dignity and manners prepared to meet in Philadelphia to change the governance of the land. It was men who believed in liberty not expediency that formed the nation and threw off the chains of tyranny and they did it forcefully and with dignity befitting the birth of great nation under God.

When ruffians, brutes and bosses rise to power they do not bring the blessings of liberty. They speak with course language and react without deeper thought and guiding philosophical principles. They are able to rouse a crowd they are unable to bring the blessing of liberty that spans generations.

Yes language, manners and tone matter. One can be resolute and not sound illiterate. It is not enough to beat Hillary or to change direction, the direction the nation is lead matters. I for one want liberty. I wonder if many of Trump's supporters would be happier just giving out a few black eyes and then running the new crime syndicate a new more profitable way.

You need to read more about what happened in Boston in 1775. The colonists were a rough bunch.
