:You're right. And that's what's happening on this thread.
Hollywood wants to reframe the concept of "PC" so that it means racist or bigot or something negative rather than what it really means. What antiPC really means is "anti-liberal group think".
Liberal PC concepts are used to shut down the discussion of ideas.
There were things liberals decided couldn't be talked about - they weren't "correct" to bring up... Conservatives started challenging those concepts. And no - not being PC is NOT the same as being a racist or a bigot. Liberals want to take away our right to question them.
You're right in catching this SuzyQue - parts of this thread are being hijacked by people who want to make conservatives look like bigots. Trollish to say the least.
I don't know that it's deliberate. I think we can all buy into a bit of the PC groupthink if it is something that hits us on a visceral, emotional level. That's why FR is so valuable in general and so dangerous to the PC crowd.
I've gotten to the point that when I read something that sounds sort of OK, but seems a bit off, I go straight to FR and read the comments. Invariably, someone will provide information that the original story didn't, or give a background that the original story didn't, place it into context, etc. Very powerful in dispelling propoganda and contemporary mythology.
This has inspired me to replace my tagline.
