Help is on the way, Lancey.

"Political correctness" is a mindset. People who talk and act in "politically correct" ways do so because they feel that eyes are on them. Whose eyes? The eyes of the liberal elite who control so much of the mainstream news and entertainment media. People who talk and act in "politically correct" ways with such careful deliberation are seeking the approval of the liberal elite while at the same time fending off the crucifixtion of the liberal elite should they make a "politically incorrect" misstep. Watch every word! And use words like "diversity" and "multicultural" whenever you can slip them in, and substitute "gender" for sex when noting somebody's sex. And so on. This gains you favor with the liberal elite.

Rush Limbaugh has most aptly described this phenomenom as a "template". It is the template which calls a Democrat who goes against his party "a betrayer" and a Republican who goes against his party "an independent who voted his conscience". You see this all the time. It is so imbedded in the subliminal "collective conscience" that there seems nothing unusual about it - - it is simply taken as a given and has become a basic mindset - - a "template".

So.... the key to crushing the cancer of "political correctness" (and indeed, liberalism itself) is, in my opinion the process of replacing the awareness that "the liberal elite is watching" with an acute awareness that "the conservative mainstream is watching". And this is happening. Over the past couple of years I have noticed the occasional defensive column from a liberal. Liberals are on the defensive! More and more, I am noticing the network big boys being careful not to overtly display their liberal tendencies. And look what Isaacson at CNN is doing! These people are adjusting because they are becoming aware that we are watching. It is critical that there be absolutely no let-up on the pressure.

I reposted this because I too have found it effective in the right circumstances.
