political correctness

Political correctness is far more than just silly, constipated speech codes. It is an entire moral outlook and cultural ethos -- namely, that of the political Left. Basically, a person or thing is considered 'politically correct' when it gives positive strokes to the Left's angelic, messianic self-conception. Lefties like to demonize anybody who dares to criticize them, but I decline to reciprocate. I don't think they are demons; I think they are all too human. They are "dodging the grim shadow of self-knowledge", fearing the unavoidable Loss of Innocence this would bring, and the frank acknowledgement that they too are part of the human slime-mold -- capable of foul behavior and bad judgement just like everybody else. It's time for them too get off their friggin' pedestal..... I could go on and on describing what political correctness is, but I'll content myself with the brief observation that what I've written here is 180 degrees opposite to it.

I'm pretty sure that a few politically correct people will read this and think I am talking about somebody else....

Political Correctness

is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

The member of House of Representatives chose political correctness over common sense when they voted "yes" on the Presidentially backed: tree hugging, world saving, business loathing, personal pocket lining, Tax-payer money Draining Act...

Political Correctness

Groupthink. For those who don't want to think. They simply believe what they are told.

Political correctness is when the loudest mouth around the conference table gets to set the agenda, because everyone else doesn't think, or speak up to say what they think. Neocons dominate the president because he doesn't think things through for himself. He talks of having "a bunch of smart people around me." PR and spin seem to dominate politicians, not any thoughtful process.

Political Correctness

1. Sometimes it's an excuse for [immature], morally depraved, suburbanite dumbshits to get away with obvious hatred and bigotry. They'[ll] cry "PC" as a means of making YOU look stupid for calling them on their bullshit, when you were completely in the right for doing so. Ironically enough, when you label them with justifiable terms as "[racist]", "[homophobe]" or "[bigot]", they'[ll] cry, bitch and whine that they're not and cover over it by saying that they're not "[racist]" and that you're just being "oversensitive", which is actually a form of "political correctness"...the very thing that they [hate] (totally not hypocritical!). These are the same people who are under the impression that their freedom of speech rights are being legally taken away by Poltical Correctness, when the reality of the situation is that these people were stupid enough to bow out to FUCKING PEER PRESSURE. You get what you deserve, assholes. Don't whine about "political correctness" impeding on your freedom of speech, whine about your lack of testicles and how you bowed out to societal pressures like little [bitches]! THAT is what restricted your freedom of speech. These people claim that those who whine about "political correctness" are crybabies, but these idiots are no better. 2. Other times it's just over-sensitivity to certain things.
