A Dictionary to Educate the Politically Incorrect
American Civil Rights Union ^ | April 25, 2007 | William G. Otis

Posted on 04/27/2007 6:06:42 AM PDT by TSchmereL

The stripping away of meaning from ordinary words is crucial to the triumph of political correctness -- and counteracting this tactic crucial to its defeat. Thus, I want to begin today with what will be a continuing project: publishing the Dictionary of Political Correctness, so that when readers see or hear a fishy phrase, they'll be clued in to what's actually going on.

Welcome to the “Modern Liberalism Ping List.”

This list is for articles which examine the motivations behind the perpetuation of Modern Liberal thinking.

It is a low volume ping list, probably not more than once a week on average.

If you want to be on it, or off of it, please let me know.

I also mark all posts with the keyword “MODERNLIBERALISM” so you can check the list retrospectively by clicking on: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=modernliberalism

Looks like the Brits got there first.  Linked in the comment section of the ACRU post --

Free Trade -
Exploitation of the poor and downtrodden by evil capitalists, leading to unemployment at home and sweatshops abroad. Nothing whatever to do with how we get computers, iPods, shoes etc.

Bump.
Tolerating all this toleration is getting to be intolerable. For me.

Dictionary of Political Correctness

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
