When all the great minds get together and are not tolerant of P.C. then it will go away. It is the small minds of society who hide behind P.C. not those whose brains are productive.

First and formost we need to VOTE it out of office. Get my drift. We need to support those who will do what needs to be done whether Politically Correct or not. We people here on this WEB Page need to get more thinking people involved. I tell almost everyone that I have a conversation with during the day to go to FreeRepublic and start reading and I don't care what their political views are...............

It's too late. Witness the ridiculous spectacle of a Republican president of the Protestant Christian faith hosting a Muslim feast within weeks of a murderous terrorist attack perpetrated by Muslims.

Case closed.

1. Point it out whenever you see it.

2. Show the absurdity of it at every opportunity.

3. Call PC by it's real name, "Hate Speech", at every opportunity.

4. Vote the wannabe Slave Masters into oblivion.

Right-minded people need to respond with truth. Then, in the face of the inevitable onslaught of bad-egging and dead-catting, DO NOT CAVE!!!!!! Why, oh why, do so many people meekly go along when attacked by the PC commisars? If someone asked me, for example, to remove a Flag from a desk or door, my response would be, "Remove it yourself!"
Point is, carry the battle to your enemies! Question THEM. Make THEM explain why you are wrong. Make THEM explain THEIR positions. Call THEM on where THEIR support comes from. Shove the Constitution in THEIR faces. Believe me, nothing is as fun as seeing a liberal on the defensive. PC, confronted with TRUTH and LOGIC, cannot survive.

the easiest way to kill off the PC movemement is to vote me and my brother (neckbone) as co-Emperors of the Planet. When elected (or we seize power) the first thing we'll do is kill off the PC crowd. We'll then go drink a heroic amount of beer.

Whenever another con is attacked as racist, sexist, homophobic, antisemitic, etc., respond with "And what's your point?"

Our universities, our state and federal bureauocracies,national news media and Hollywood have all surrendered in one way or another to this terrorism.

Not every bad thing is terrorism. We must be very, very careful to use this term only when a strict, objective set of criteria are met. If not, everyone and everything objectionable to someone risks being branded a "terrorist", with the resulting damage to reputation, loss of due process etc. Public debate will then turn to a witchhunt, as opponents demonize each other through namecalling.

Now onto your question: How to end Political Correctness?

My idea is to refuse to take part in it. Never use loaded politically correct terms. Refuse to work within the rigid set of guidelines PC dictates. PC is only as pervasive as the number of people who willingly submit to it.

Next, publicize all PC BS. Show the public bad examples of PC in action. Finding them won't be very difficult, but finding a forum willing to showcase them will. Mainstream newsmedia won't do it, so find or invent other venues.

Finally, come at it from a 1st Amendment angle. PC is the brainchild of liberals, and they claim (in words only, seldom in deed) to be ardent defenders of free speech. Use the same arguments they use, verbatim, to defend speech that they don't want banned.

Hope that helps.

Fight it by not abiding to it. The enemies of free speech are the self imposed censorship that we do to ourselves. When we talk about racism, the derogatory slur name is called "The 'N' Word", yet in hip-hop the word is 'Nigger'.Why must white people tread softly, but black lierals get to stomp? The word has the same meaning reguardless of race! We also accept being called 'Right-Wing Republicans', but dont refer to Democraps as "Left-Wing Liberals". Call them that and they get pissed because they know the word 'Liberal' is poison! You have to remember that P.C. is used to censor Conservatives, not Liberals. You fight it by forcing Liberals to abide by Political Correctness. You also fight it with your wallet. When you see it in Magazines and Newspapers as well as advertizers, cancel subscriptions and boycott what is being sold to you.

The unfortuniate part of this is that Conservatives are for the most part pussys that won't stand up against Liberals or their machine. We ALLOW them to get away with it because we don't want to "stoop to their level" Until we unite as a force to be reckoned with, it will continue to thrive and exist, so enjoy!

Political correctness is a virulent societal disease. Logic is the vaccine. Ridicule is the cure.

1. Learn how to clearly demonstrate that the idea is wrong.
2. When confronted with the idea explain why it is wrong, reject it, and get the other person to agree.
3. Support politicians who stand fo those principles.

Or, you could shout down the opposition and pass some laws which may be against plitical correctness when you have 50.1% control of government.

It all starts in the universities. If you can purge it there, you will purge it throughout society.

PC will end because it's brought on all the problems we have now, the only way we will survive as a country is to get over pc. If we don't end it, we will be taken over and pc will end then but things will be terrible for everyone.

Here are seven things you can do:

1) Be brave. It is a grass roots effort, and you are a front-line soldier.

2) Always refer to yourself as a Native American on all forms, and whenever anyone asks about your ethnicity. Remind people that the correct term for those Americans whose ancestors pre-dated Columbus is "Aboriginal American." (Look it up in Webster's if you don't believe it).

3) Refuse to ever identify anyone as a hyphenated-American. Appropriately indicate your disapproval for this practice whenever it comes up in conversation.

4) Say to everyone you know "I hope you had a Merry Christmas (not Happy Holiday)." Next year, have the courage to wish people a Merry Christmas. Extra bonus point: Remind people that Kwanzaa is a bogus, racist holiday.

5) Take back the language. Make people define terms. Point out that "homophobic" actually means "fear of man." Ask people what they mean by terms like "racist," "redneck," "right wing" and all the other standard liberal epithets. Smirk and then apologize for laughing when you hear a PC liberal complain about the VRWC.

6) Give as good as you get. Make it a point to attach labels to PC fascist bigotry. Call it what it is. Talk about "Fundamentalist Liberals," or McCarthyite Democrats, etc. Be creative. Try to develop catchy labels that can maybe take hold in general conversation.

7) If you have kids, get involved in the curriculum. Lobby the school board and work with like-minded parents to eliminate the multi-culturalist agenda in our schools. File formal complaints claiming offense at multicultural concepts. Explain that multiculturalism feeds the racism it purports to eliminate. Point out that courses like "Understanding Human Differences" need to be replaced by courses in "Appreciating Human Similarities." Fight for a Christmas tree and Santa Claus as American cultural icons that transcend religion and defines us as the American People. Remind the schools that not only are they perpetuating the cycle of racism by forcing kids to focus on race and ethnicity, but that they are offending your Native American culture and institutions when they fill our kids' head with all this multiculturalist bigotry.

We must attack on two fronts 1)get our kids out of the public scrools, defund and defeat the NEA 2) get the vote out for NON PC conservatives. Its that simple, but oh so hard to accomplish. (Except for getting your own kids out of the public scrools)
