" The community, even the world community, is better served by an open debate and intellectual challenge than by a "new moral order" that seems good but isn't. "

"The egalitarian myth"
What of the proposition that people want to live in huge but enclosed nation states?
Who's right or PRIVILEGE was it to impose that on the rest of the people?

"The next King of the World will be an American president"
Is it too late to clone Elvis?

Are we supposed to crouch in terror at this bit of news? So an American President signs an Executive Order proclaiming him(or her)self President of the World? Because of this, according to you, China, Russia, India, Iraq, Egypt ect... are just going to lay down and agree to this? Please, think these things through before you write them, for your own sake.

What of the proposition that people wantto live in huge but enclosed nation states?I see no difference between that and choosing
to live in a gated community. Is it a bad thing?
I also find it necessary to have a lock on the
door to my home. Now I need a lock on
my betraying thoughts, else I lurch into hate
crime.
Who's right or PRIVILEGE was it
to impose that on the rest of the people?
Impose the nation state? The will
of the people who live in it, I suppose.
I sort of like it, myself.

Political correctness is also known as cultural marxism for good reason. It is a way for the state to control our speech and thoughts in order to advance socialist control.
When I was a kid we used to say "I don't agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it". That is the American way. Now we charge people with hate crimes, that is the Soviet way.

Excellent article...thanks for posting.
Political Correctness is sensorship!
To: gcruse
I too would now like to join the ranks and protest against a political phenomenon being rapidly exported from America and not just to Europe, but world-wide: political correctness. Uh... Isn't political "correctness" coming from all sides of socialism, including the E.U. and U.N.?? Why does this author solely blame the U.S.?

The article is dead-on. PC is a front for socialism (which I don't favor), and a way for people who have done nothing to steal from those who produce (which I gather from your writings, you do favor). PC is a way to do this and attempt to mask the theft under a rightious banner. Why would I disagree with an article I agree with?

I looked it up. I have heard the expression 'his nibs' all my life and didn't realize it was an insult. My bad. I take it back.
