> from the article:

“One aspect of liberalism with which I am now very familiar is political correctness. I didn’t understand it at the time, not until I stepped outside the cultism of it and looked in from a wiser place. It always bothered me, but I couldn’t quite grasp why until later. Then, it hit me like a revelation. Political correctness was not a political ideology. No, it was a religion, a full-fledged spiritual con, a New Age ghetto of frothing mishmash that is sociological voodoo. And the leftists were eating it up like steak night at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

These people were rationally retarded. Every idea they proposed they merely parroted from books and articles they had read. They were like malfunctioning automatons trapped in a cycle of discontented social criticism. Their desperation to invent meaning in the midst of their irrelevant lives made me feel ill. If they could not find a legitimate cause to champion, they would create one out of thin air and defend it relentlessly, regardless of how shallow it truly was.”

Truth from a liberal ...finally.

Manipulation of the language is a tried and true method.

In the Language of the 3rd Reich Victor Klemperer explains how the nazis manipulated the German language as a means of manipulating German society into accepting nazi goals and ideals.

Language of the Third Reich

Victor Klemperer (1881-1960) was Professor of French Literature at Dresden University. As a Jew, he was removed from his university post in 1935, only surviving thanks to his marriage to an Aryan.

First published in 1957, The Language of the Third Reich arose from Klemperer's conviction that the language of the Third Reich helped to create its culture. As Klemperer writes: 'It isn't only Nazi actions that have to vanish, but also the Nazi cast of mind, the typical Nazi way of thinking, and its breeding ground: the language of Nazism.'

This brilliant book is by turns entertaining and profound, saddening and horrifying. It is deservedly one of the great twentieth-century studies of language and its engagement with history.

Translated by Dr Martin Brady.

The old saying: If, at 21 you’re NOT liberal, you have no soul. If, at 41 you’re not conservative, you have no brains.

Political correctness not only demands that the bad apples not be removed from the barrel, but even goes so far as encourage the rest of the apples to spoil.

Tyler Durden has a Disqus account and posts frequently at places like Breitbart and Newsbusters. He argues the leftist theme du jour and is usually just relentlessly argumentative.

If he thinks GW was a criminal then he should think Øbongo is Lex Luthor (but doesn’t).
