As someone earlier posted on FR, the so-called "political correctness" imposed by the Far Left is more aptly described as "cultural Marxism." As such, it may once have masked itself as what the first President Bush may call a "crusade for civility," but that is just one of the many masks it wears.

The term describes a tool to stifle dissent and to shut out ideas which do not advance the goal of the Far Left in America.

Should anyone doubt this, just observe the Left's perfect willingness to be "politically incorrect" about persons who express Judeo-Christian ideas, about candidates whom they deem to be a threat to their "progressive" march, or any number of others of the ideas of liberty guaranteed by America's Founders' United States Constitution.

Suggested descriptions of "political correctness":

- "cultural Marxism"
- "moral equivalency"
- "leveling" (a term used by Samuel Adams to describe wealth redistribution)
- "relativism"
- a perverted form of "tolerance"
- Add your own

The Citizens Guide they discuss was sort of difficult to find, I didn't see it on the ACT website (but I bet it is there). Anyway, to document it, I put it up on The Patriot's Flag where you can see it and download it. It is well-written and something we should all have for our own personal "awareness." This was a great post and the full article is well worth the reading time ... also read the "guide." (Thanks for the post!)

No, it hasn’t. It hasn’t because the liberals of fifty years ago disappeared when the Clintons, the Tom Haydens and John Kerrys took over the Democrat Party forty years ago and bought with the Mao-ist debating style we see today. These were the kids, the “Red Gaurd’’ you bought the politics of personal destruction, the ‘’all-must be changed’’ attitude that has so poisoned any chance of rational, civil discourse today and this is how we conservative are left with a moral quandry: Do we jump in the mud and make their arguement for them or ‘’damn the torpedos and full steam ahead?””

Try something like this...

Hi...

"If I were to tell the press that millions of Americans would be blown up by an Iranian nutcase, or that your Congress has stolen the enire contents of your savings with health care "reform" or bailouts, nobody panics, because it's all part of the plan...

But, if I tell the press a few homosexuals are upset over their little wee wees in California, why, everyone just loses their minds!"

It thrives because to be a “respectable conservative” you must first agree that your liberal advesary has impeccable moral virtue and that you the RC have no argument with the left’s decades of failures but you only have a quibble with the pace of the latest proposal.

Thanks for the ping/s.

I will read carefully later today.

It complements my tagline.

Where there is truth there is no illusion.

Where there is light there is no darkness.

(Roughly).

They hate the light of truth. They love the darkness of illusion. Therefore they change language and enact hate speech and hate thought crimes to keep peoples’ minds and consciousness in imprisoned.

This is all Gramscite deconstruction at work. The problem is the left mistakenly believes that it can replace our current system with the paradise of socialism that never was. Muslims are playing the left like a fiddle. Just as German jews thought that by voting for Hitler they would be exempted from it’s consequences they became it’s first victims.
