Breitbart.com ^ | August 28, 2015 | Caroline May

Outspoken candidate Donald Trump got more good news today — the vast majority of Americans agree that “political correctness” is a problem. A new Rasmussen survey released Friday reveals that 71 percent of American adults believe that “political correctness… is a problem” in the U.S. Just 18 percent disagreed, and 10 percent were undecided.

"had 'enough'?"

Anything that stifles free discussion, academic free inquiry as to vital issues, is a threat to a people's very future. Political "Correctness," was never anything but a social malady--one that tends to acerbate real problems, never ameliorate them. It has become, almost daily now, an ever greater factor in the social disintegration of American communities.

whoa!

71% is a little more than a “majority”!

Democrats think shaming someone into not speaking is the same as ‘winning the argument’...

They are wrong...

The American people (thanks to people like Trump) are growing backbone and telling democrats we're sick of them... and their ways... and their "PC" and their ‘thin-skinned as a Religion’ attitude...

Even Chris Matthews realized something is happening....

PC is just dishonest a$$-kissing to get the support of illogical, emotion-driven women, minorities and gays by beating up white guys.

I doubt they could make All in the Family today. It was a great show. There was some controversy about it at the time. But in today’s PC climate it would not be allowed.

Do they show reruns of All in the Family on TV anymore?,,haven’t seen it years, and just assuming it was censored off TV.

Then DO something about it, America!!!!

By supporting Trump, we are. If Trump was not in the race this question would never be asked by pollsters.

I agree.

But I disagree that Trump would make a good president. His presence in the race has been good, though, because it has invoked a lot of much needed soul-searching on critical questions, as well as helping the not-so-bold become more emboldened. I don't think Huckabee would have had the gonads to stand behind his "gas chamber" comment when interrogated by the media if it were not for Trump first setting the tone of unapologetic political incorrectness.

But moral substance is still needed. And this, Trump lacks.

CNN had a series about the 70s a month ago. My teens watched. The part about TV shows- Archie Bunker, they were amazed at what he said on TV.

“This is why television shows aren’t funny anymore.”

True. And this is why real life, work life, etc., aren’t fun any more. We’ve become a drab, soul-less civilization because our default mode is STFU.

Hillary was the first person I remember uttering those words. I did not know what it meant when she said. Had never heard before. Maybe it was used earlier, but not by my recollection.

The Office was a running joke about Steve Carell’s stream of politically incorrect and otherwise inappropriate workplace behavior. And it was pretty funny.

You probably aren’t a fan, but this is exactly why South Park IS funny. Totally devoid of political correctness. Totally offensive.. and funny (usually).

“the Christmas Concert became the ‘Holiday Concert’”

In one of his speeches or pressers Trump said that he always says ‘Christmas’.
