Great post. Best critique of PC I've read in quite awhile.

But, as is usually the case in political criticism, the criticism is better than the proferred solutions.

The author is a little light on criticism of the Right. When it is dominant - although it begins with the idea of meritocracy - it usually slides into the mistaken identification of wealth as proof of merit and abandons the idea of noblesse oblige - which is necessary in any decent society - in favor of unfettered greed.

At that point the Left rises and the cycle begins anew.

Explain this to me! I think Gen-X'ers are also fed up with psychobabble! I know I am!

I agree.

There are plenty of socialists on that side of the aisle.
