I am just trying to keep current on today's PC regs.

Give me a break. You argument doesn't hold water. This has nothing to do with PC regs. This has to do with traditional manners. Did you see Reagan talk like this? Why do you think that was? You are trying to repackage 60's counterculture values as conservatism. Stop. Either be a conservative with traditional values, or keep your 60's counterculture values and stop pretending to be traditional.

Actually, the import of the article which I was at pains to point out was to identify the man's sin as violating political correctness: Evidently, to describe a woman as a skank is to violate the PC norm and, by inference, to accuse her of treason is not.

I thought this anomaly was worth pointing out and it distresses me that you think contrariwise. I do not understand how it is that skanks pose a greater threat to the survival of the Republic than traitors.

If traders do pose a greater threat, PC at least assures us that we will maintain a level of gentility as we decline. That is something we can hold fast to until the end.
