Until recently, I’d never have thought of using such skin tightening words to describe America. It’s not like we have soldiers with machine guns patrolling our strip malls and we don’t have helicopters tearing through the night sky enforcing a national curfew (although I wouldn’t mind some tear gas being dropped into the angry apartment complex next to mine).
However…
…after hearing the term applied to what the Reagan called “The World’s Shining Light” on Andrew Wilcow’s radio show, it was all disturbingly clear. In a nation such as ours, the government doesn’t need to go the head cracking route. Nope, instead we’re stuck with something far more stealth like in its abstractness, the smothering specter of political correctness. That’s right, the dreaded PC. It may not be as physically intimidating as an AK-47, but the term, which first reared its shape shifting head to the mainstream around the dawn of the Bill Clinton years, is off the charts when it comes to insidious passive aggressiveness.
From now on, you will only say what the Left wants you to say. Got it?
The truth is, the concept of Political Correctness didn’t begin in the 1990s. In fact, Marxists have been using the term “politically correct” for about the past eighty years. Karl Marx, in his quest to force everyone to wear the same pair of shoes, understood the value of controlling what people could say. If you controlled the argument, you could control the people, what better way to institute the dehumanizing Communist Regime? Simply making it a crime to say the wrong thing has the shockingly effective ability to shackle a society without ever having to pull a trigger or fire a canister into a crowd.
Marx knew how to break the individual's spirit the smooth way.
Never before has the soul sucking weapon of Political Correctness been used so singularly or successfully against a nation’s citizens as it is in 2012 America. In a land of liberal activist judges, public school systems and universities indoctrinating students with leftist ideology, and a deranged mainstream media hurling around vague, emotionally paralyzing terms such as “diversity”, “multiculturalism”, and “tolerance”, there’s really no need for anything as unprogressive as brute force.
Now if I can just get a chopper to do a flyover of the complex next door…

Yes!! Right on!! Its absolutely amazing how many folks just laid down to the spirit of PC, and the left uses a deep need most people have to “feel accepted” and to feel “part of”! I noticed how mainstream PC is, in social settings people just give up their own ideas and free thinking to be accepted! It doesn’t take much coercion at all! We live in a land of spiritual wimps! They put the need for social acceptance and approval over what is right for this land! So rather than “Rock the boat” and face rejection, they seek the social acceptance and sense of social approval by going along with being PC!! We however, who speak against this spirit are considered mean-spirited, haters, and trouble makers!! Its amazing how many people say things like: “You cant say that” “Its not allowed” , and
Don’t talk about God or religion at work~ And such! Its like this super Ego in the Sky that people submit too without even thinking they are giving up any liberty! The same wimpy Parents lead their children to believe they cant voice their opinions at school!! Oh yes, the left can promote all kinds of Gay lesbian transgender advocacy at school, but dont mention your faith in God and what Gods word Says! No, Spencer, there is no need for bombs, Flyovers, or coercion, We just lay down and give away our freedom for social acceptance!
You are right! No need for bombs, Martial Law, Coercion, Our wimps in this land are so trusting of government, they lay down and give up their own ideas with little coercion! Just make them think they will be rejected by others and they will give up their own Mothers Love!! The need for approval and “fitting in” is a powerful drive in human nature! Its so sad to see how “wimpy:” this drive makes people! It disgusting to watch grown men, cave into to PC, just to be accepted! Where is any back bone anymore?
Absolutely, Victor. These people are so soft they’ll go a long with anything just so they don’t have to deal with any sort of confrontation. And I’m sure many of them are dumb enough to think they are actually creating a more perfect society because of it.
Thanks a lot. Great comment.
Another reason for Obama wanting to prove his manliness is that he’s a proven homosexual. He has to do anything he can to prove his marriage to Michelle is real. He has to prove to his followers this gay thing is another Right Wing lie against him.
Your web page is great! Keep up the good work. Keep us all informed.
