>>Politically Correct speech codes are as big an evil as abortion, as big as illegal immigration, as big as the national debit. If you do not realize this you are simply ignorant of the damage caused by allowing the left to control the vocabulary. Trump’s profanity is part of tearing that down. The left likes to swear at conservatives but don’t like to be sworn at. Trump is the only one running on this conservative issue. The left hide behind public politeness.<<
YES!! Political correctness is a WMD of progressives. If you cannot speak without risking consequences (on the job, for example) you are not free.
Being polite at all times while stabbing political opponents in the back is a core tenet of Fabian socialism.
Trump is telling people by his actions. To sit around and never say a word like “Pussy” in public, or never call for the ban on Muslims, would be less than worthless. Such cowardice would be capitulating to the very thing you are fighting against.
Perhaps too many have fallen to the PC madness and think vulgarity is it's opposite. It's not. It's another way of telling people to shut up. It does not encourage discourse and does not further knowledge or understanding. In that way, it is exactly the same as PC.
“Shut Up” is what a democrat says when they don't want to think or hear apposing views. It is not healthy to co-opt that attitude.
Trump's campaign has gone from ‘helping our voices be heard’ to full ‘shut up’ mode. It is not healthy for the conservative movement and it not healthy liberty in general.
The campaign Trump is running does not challenge the voter to think - at all. That is not good. You can beat people into submission but eventually they will rebel. And when they do, they swing in the exact opposite direction. Obama 2.0 if you will.
Cruz, if you have ever watched him speak with Code Pink or the farmer in Iowa, can speak with people and let them know why they are wrong and get them to see his point of view. I genuinely think that is a skill that is needed in this country, at this time. Back that up with solid constitutional values and the country has a chance.
I'm sure the general response from trump supporters will be a version of ‘shut up’. Have at it. I hope instead you'll read this and try and think beyond the anger and showmanship to see the destructive consequence of voting for trump.
