Only those without conscience can seek to rule without pity and only those with conscience can be so ruled.
Don't let the commies put burkas on our mommies.
This article nails the big picture.
In the long run, our most dangerous enemy isn't a culture locked in the 7th century, but a well funded and educated group of fellow citizens who hate personal freedom. First we have to deal with muzzies, but then we need take on our internal enemies.
Too many people have lost their instinct for self-preservation
Karl Marx himself has stated that The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism, a sentiment that corresponds almost exactly to the Islamic idea that peace means the absence of opposition to Islamic rule.

Multiculturalism isn't the only front in the battle. One indispensible tool for such cultural critics has taken academic form in the curious field of "study" subsumed under the term "Critical Thinking," which is, under the hood, a deconstructionist approach to those aspects of modern society that are most in the way of social "progress." It is indeed intensely critical but there is relatively little real thinking involved other than a mastery of pejorative terminology.
Another is the accession of Marxian class analysis, originally a strictly sociological application, to related fields such as law. "Critical Legal Theory" takes the techniques of Critical Thinking mentioned above and applies them to an interpretation of legal theory that is strictly class-based. Law, in the view of its proponents, is merely a manifestation of power relations between oppressed and oppressive classes. An inversion of those relations is seen as precisely as valid as the original; that is, a society where thugs rule the streets and cops are the hunted is no different from its opposite. This sort of approach works considerably better in theory than in practice but as a foundation of social theory it has gained a creedence far in excess of its actual merit.
Underlying all of this is a philosophical denial of the existence of objective truth and an attempt to replace it with political power. That is demonstrably the case with PC, as Dalrymple pointed out above - the entire approach assumes that truth is arbitrary and hence may be dictated, and it requires the surrender of the individual to a fantasy reality that is more malleable than the objective one. In this, one may pretend that food is poison and poison, food, because in the broad perspective "it's all the same thing." Acting on that pretense is likely to bring the real world crashing in, at which point the contest becomes to explain the latter away by ascribing blame to somebody else. The real world must fit the theory, not vice versa.
And that is why it will fail in the end. This sort of denial of truth is profoundly anti-life, actually suicidal when it leads the adherent to an action that is theoretically sound but objectively self-destructive. Were it only to kill the fool that adheres to it there wouldn't be a problem. Where it threatens to destroy an existing society with imperfections and substitute an impossible fantasy world without them, we all are in danger.

Sean may be right, but not for the reasons he imagines.

Great article.
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. Ones standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
WOW! This has to be one of the most brilliant, on-target indictments of Communism I've ever read. Who is this guy? Never heard of him before.
