I noticed the short item about the judge forced to apologize for suggesting that ‘Christ would approve of this war.’ That probably wasn’t the first instance of political correctness, but I think it shows how far back the strategy of finding things like this to complain about has been used by the left to prevent any effective action. Fortunately, they failed utterly in WW II. Let’s hope we can make them fail again.
