Apparently a slight confusion of terms on your part, Quark.
I consider--and I believe all on this thread would agree--that DU constitutes an example of PC par excellence.
From that, and the oberservation that they are rather rabidly anti-Christian as a whole, I don't think "PC" is the best term for "intelligent design".
Maybe "TC" for "theologically correct"--but that misses out on the Marxist provenance of the original term.
Cheers!
Point taken.
Why not? Its purpose is to accommodate the feelings of anti-evolutionists by pretending that their beliefs are actually a nonstandard form of science. That's as PC as Ebonics.
The tactic the anti-evolution activists are employing is basically to call for affirmative action for ID. Again, that's pretty PC.
IMO, the ID lobbyists might get further with the Dhimms than with the GOP; after all, it wasn't that long ago that they were part of the Dhimm coalition (think of W.J. Bryan), since their arguments for "fairness", "inclusiveness", "teach the controversy", etc, are usually employed by the left. Not to mention that there already are a large number of liberal ID-ists and creationists, such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Creationism is quite common in the black church-going community.
Bottom line: PC exists on the right as much as on the left. The mascots may be different, but the feelings-based, affirmative action stuff is the same.
