The late Charlton Heston once said, "Political correctness is tyranny with manners."
The rationale of political correctness (PC) is to prevent supposed minorities from being offended (the manners) -- to compel people (the tyranny) to avoid using words or behavior that may upset homosexuals, women, non-whites, the crippled, the stupid, the fat, the ugly, or any other minority group identified by those who define PC. Its primary method is the redefinition or replacement of words and behavior in order to avoid offense, to be sensitive to the feelings of minorities.
Before we can examine PC and its effect on politics, we must first understand PC's origin and purpose.
The concept of PC was developed at the Institute for Social Research, in Frankfurt, Germany, in the early 1920s. The institute considered why communism in Russia was not spreading westward. The conclusion was that Western civilization, with its belief that the individual could develop valid ideas, was the problem. At the root of communism was the theory that all valid ideas came from the state, that the individual is nothing. The institute believed that the only way for communism to advance and spread was to help Western civilization destroy itself, or else force it to.
Tim Wise, captain of the race industry, recently wrote a polemic essay about what he calls "Patriotic Correctness." What is ostensibly a piece about Arizona's Tucson Unified School District having their ethnic studies program outlawed because it focuses on one racial group degenerates into his usual tripe about how anyone who favors the policy in question is a racist. But, what caught my eye about this one was not his characteristic rants against any attempt to celebrate or uphold anything traditionally white, Christian, or American. His ilk will always do everything they can to suck the joy out of those things. Rather, it was the following statement that gave me a chuckle:
...the thing they derisively called political correctness was really never more than an attempt by we on the left to get people to not be a__holes (by doing blatantly racist, sexist and heterosexist things)
Isn't that rich? Let us count how many things are laughable about this comment. Number one, the sentence is devoid of any explanation of what ever qualified the left as final arbiter on what constitutes an "a__hole." Of course, Wise would argue that the section in parentheses provides all the explanation we need, and we all know that he's his living room's foremost authority on those three items as well.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas; (1884-1968) six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. Source: 1948 - from an interview during the presidential campaign. Norman Thomas and Gus Hall, the U.S. Communist Party Candidate, both quit American politics, agreeing that the Republican and Democratic parties had adopted every plank of the Communist/Socialist agenda and they no longer had an alternate party platform on which to run.
The List of 45 reveals the communist goals Marxists have pursued to facilitate the internal collapse of Western civilization. In the process, though the Soviet Union fell, they have not let up on their work to take over the U.S., and the rest of the West, from within. The internal madness has been supported in the United States by the democrat party. Through liberalism they are using political correctness to deepen the Marxist hold on America.
It is not difficult to realize that Political Correctness goes hand in hand with Marxism. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. A politically correct society handcuffs free speech and free press, fuels thought control, and compromises a traditional social order for a more controlled system ruled over by an elite political oligarchy.
