I am determined to recycle the same post on now 3 threads on this subject:

It is obvious to anyone paying attention that the politically correct victim mentality dynamic is nothing but a mechanism for controlling speech and influencing political power.

The word ‘racist’, given its awful meaning by hundreds of years of slavery, murder, and genocide, has been reduced to nothing but a shibboleth intended to stifle speech and obscure the truth.

My empathy for poor downtrodden supposed victims is gone.

My tolerance for participating in a charade based on pretense has passed.

There is no recovery from the damage this election has wrought. No way that I will ever again give concern or consideration to those who would manipulate and control based on meaningless words and empty sympathies.

Yep....and I feel the same way about food banks and such, too....knowing what I do about how they are abused.

But Tom, don't you know that Senator Obama is a “decent” man. Surely that should excite McCain's base don't you think? Or am I just being stupid? Also I'm over the fact that McCain chose Palin becaue if I choose a Maserati and put a governor on it so that I can't dive faster then 55 MPH, well I don't have a Maserati, but I will impress my green friends.

” the politically correct victim mentality dynamic is nothing but a mechanism for controlling speech and influencing political power.”

Correct. That’s the left being polite. Their hallmark is brute force which will come into play broadly if Obama wins.

But if they win, after they think they are in control, the left will be usurped by more powerful marxists who consider the American Left to be useful idiots.

Agreed. Jonah Goldberg Agrees with you too, in his new book,a well annotated work on history, not polemic, NYT Best Seller:

"Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of AMerica's Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning"

Politics of Meaning= Political Correctness, among other social instruments, used for the purpose which you have so suitably indicated.

If you have not read Goldberg's book, I have a feeling that you would enjoy it immensely.

That, sir, ranks with some of the best I’ve read on Free
Republic. May I nominate you for “FRinkling” membership?
