“Ethnic American – translated: An American who choses to define him/herself by foreign heritage or skin color, instead of being satisfied with simply being an ‘American.’ My grandparents were Irish and English and I would no more refer to myself as an Irish American than a Martian American, because I’m quite content to simply be an ‘American.’ “

True.

My grandparent, parents and all our relatives came here in the early 20’s.

They were overjoyed to be here and wouldn't dream of calling themselves ANYTHING but American!!

That said... they spoke their own language at home, went to their own church, celebrated holidays their own way, etc. and America LET THEM... which is why they came here!!

They assimilated as fast as they could and retained the cultural identity among themselves in a knowing and quaint way, like all new Americans.

My parents were born here and thoroughly Americanized... but still went to their church, spoke their ‘other’ language at home and with the old folks... but WERE American!

Gender Reassignment — translated: A confused and/or dysfunctional individual who undergoes surgery which disfigures their its body and changes their sex.
It is not possible to change the sex of a human; unlike certain reptiles, it is genetically written. Never mind the word “gender”, whose etymology refers to birth and family, and has nothing to do with sex, making it a misnomer save with respect to masculine/feminine/neuter words in Romance languages.

Actually, the surgery does not "change their sex" - it just mutilates their body and the left pretends.

Political Correctness was the invention of Vladimir Lenin in 1917. Lenin called it Cultural Marxism and it was renamed (to Political Correctness) in the 60s, because Marxism was not a term Westerners, and especially Americans, would swallow.
It’s purpose was to gradually make concepts that are unacceptable to Westerners acceptable; its goal is to lead people to accept a police state rule and total governmental control of their lives, thoughts, speech and actions, i.e., totalitarianism.

Thank you for that mini-refresher course. I used it. It’s difficult to always remember all that we need to know. But not impossible.

Sounds to me like someone gets it! If only more Americans would.

“PC”, as I understand it, is really about the application of political ‘corrections’ or having had political corrections applied to one’s self. “Political Correctness” is more of a philosophy that when it’s embodied, results in such corrections having been administered not for the benefit of a majority but for the pandering to and placating of a few. It’s like sending an innocent man to jail for appearances sake. And while he’s in there, he’ll be treated like any other guilty person. Any way you slice it, it’s time to rise up against “PC”.

People who champion a side in a debate like to word their position as being pro-y instead of anti-x. So we have anti-abortionists who call themselves pro-life. However, the pro-abortion side is already ‘pro’, yet they never call themselves pro-abortion, just the vague euphemism, ‘pro-choice’, whatever that means. Abortion is still a word to be avoided, for now.

I agree with the article. We have allowed the re-definition of words to be used against us.

It makes me think we should not even allow the ‘white lie’, which the author excuses; To do so opens the door, to allow dishonesty, as long as the conditions are ok, or it isn’t too big a lie.
Then the incrementalism begins.

Maybe we should say “my you are getting fat”, while painful, the honesty might be more healthy in the long term than any hurt feelings could cause. That would be hard for anyone to do, and to do while being conversational and pleasant, but perhaps the utter honesty is better?

disfigures their body and changes their sex.

Even this writer decrying the twisting of the language cannot avoid indulging in it. They, their, them- are plural He is using plural words in the PC mode to avoid discriminating against poor downtrodden Female-Americans.

ADD TO THE LIST:

“AFFIRMATIVE ACTION” = State-sanctioned Racism. “Let’s use racism as a tool to end racism.” The fascists who believe in “Affirmative Action” fail to see the blatant hypocrisy in their actions.

Furthermore, so-called “Affirmative Action” is WORSE than arbitrary racism by individuals... Why? Because it has the added element of fascism by using our government to commit acts of racism. Nothing “affirmative” about this.

Pro choice as pro murder, enforced.

As Obama said, he does not want American women to be stay at home mums but be his stay for the State mums.

“Affordable Care Act”

Most Orwellian name for a law, maybe ever.
