Let's Ditch the Political Correctness

Political correctness is a contradiction of reality and distortion of morality that necessitates relentless government intervention devised by those who seek to control our lives. These self-appointed "Speech Sheriffs" warn us that words spoken outside the imaginary perimeters they've set are judgmental, negative, racist or intolerant.

The goal of these elitists is to subtly subvert society by controlling speech. When speech is controlled, it's easy to control behavior. PC has infiltrated and corrupted just about every facet of our lives, including businesses, the news media, sports, churches, the military and universities.

There's an aspect that is missing from this discussion. The goal of the left is to silence conservatives with PC rules. Once silenced, the left then lifts the PC rules to allow them to go full hate on conservatives. In other words, 'disarm your enemy before you attack'.

How? Even people on the Right use it! It’ll take a generation or two to get rid of it. With decent educators. Nix that! It’ll take 50 or more years with lots of dead victims.

This is the money quote from this article:

“Discrimination is not the dirty word liberals make it. In the real, non-politically correct world, it is a cognitive process whereby two or more stimuli are distinguished (says the dictionary), so it’s time we employ a little discrimination to determine what’s truly worthy of worry. And maybe loosen up a little.”

There are simply too many fags promoting political correctness.

And that's the truth.

IMHO, the standard reply should be

"F*** your PC dogma."

Because that's exactly what it is.

[Ohioan]

While there are scoundrels & demagogues, who consciously exploit the idiocy of what we call "politically correct," you will never adequately confront the problem, until you recognize that it depends upon a personality type, who were described by Lenin, as "useful idiots." These are often mis-described as "liberals"; but, in fact, they are largely compulsion driven neurotics, who simply cannot handle the realities of nature--including the fact that their is no such thing as actual equality in the biological world.

The attack on reality, takes the form of trying to pretend--to force everyone to pretend--that we are all in fact equal; that not only are we all in fact equal--as silly as that is--but that all "life-styles" are in fact equal or, at least, of equivalent worth.

Our situation is hopeless unless more Conservative spokesmen are willing to cut the Gordian Knot by confronting the absurd Jacobin, Marxist and faux "Liberal," false premises, directly.

For more on the compulsion that drives so many of those who pursue the Leftist fantasies: Compassion or Compulsion.

PC is simply lying to excuse bad behavior in my book.

I see it as an attempt to impose a political dogma. The purpose of dogma is not to engage a debate, but to prevent it.

[IronJack]

You "dump" it by not using it, and refusing to be bullied into using it.

"African-Americans" are blacks. "Gays" are queers, fags, homos, or some other more accurate name. "Refugees" are illegal immigrants. "Sex workers" are prostitutes, hookers, whores ... "Alternate lifestyles" are perversions. "Green energy" is a catch-all for a host of ridiculous Rube Goldberg devices that have never delivered on their promise. "Sustainable" , "organic", and "locally produced" are synonyms for overpriced vegetables you can grow in your own garden for free.

Oh, and "taxes" are another name for theft.

That too. It is a tool to control. Its a verb and a noun in that sense kind of...

I’ve been doing some genealogy lately because I need to find a Politically Correct victim group to belong to.

How about the Pangaeans?

[Clintonfatigued]

Never heard of them or know what they are. Will becoming one make me eligible for affirmative action hiring?

[Brad from Tennessee]

Political correctness is philosophical suicide.

Maybe. At least until somebody does figure out who they are.

I’ve been saying for twenty five years that political correctness would kill this country.

Plain language people.
SEX WORKER = WHORE
GAY = HOMO OR FAGGOT
LIFE STYLE CHOICE = PERVERT
AFRICAN-AMERICAN = BLACK GUY OR GIRL
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT = ILLEGAL ALIEN
LESBIAN = BULL DYKE OR BITCH DYKE
BI-SEXUAL = FREAK OF NATURE THAT SWINGS BOTH WAYS
CAUCASIAN = WHITE GUY OR GIRL
The English language is the most expressive in the world, we don’t need to create terms out of whole cloth to express ourselves.

Pangaea was the original, single massive continent on planet Earth.
I you decide to become a Trans Pangaean I am sure there should be some entitlements there.
After all that would make you a universal citizen.
