Political correctness is the sugar coating that has caused America to fall into a diabetic coma. Political correctness is the detachment or diversion from reality. Political correctness is KILLING AMERICA (and Americans) ! |

One comment I've been hearing lately relative to PC'edness is the fact that people do not have a right to not be offended. So many of the applications of PC'edness is to not offend someone. The U.S. Bill of Rights does not have a clause that states "You have a right to not be offended". But the whiners have the podium at the moment. Thing is though that come Christmas and birthday times the whiners get less than the non-whiners. And, yeah, I said "Christmas" in this post instead of using the PC'd 'Holidays'. if that offends you then "no soup for you". |

PC is... I really don't know where to go with this right now. Nothing is right about PC. I did find this. For me it put it into perspective . In Marxist–Leninist and Trotskyist vocabulary, correct was the common term denoting the “appropriate party line” and the ideologic/ “correct line” Likewise in the People's Republic of China, as part of Mao’s declarations on the correct handling of “non-antagonistic contradictions”. The Liberian stateswoman Ruth Perry traces the term from Mao Zedong’s Little Red Book (1964). |

I picked up a bunch of various holiday cards, and will be sending Kwanzaa cards to my Jewish friends, Christmas cards to Muslim ones, and so on. I will report back if I don't get shot |

PC is why Oscar can no longer be referred to as A Grouch, The Grouch or Grouchy wtf. You want to know whats wrong with America? It started at about the time the started editing the RoadRunner cartoons because they showed 'violence' to the coyote and groups were upset over the impact it was having on children. Nice job there gang. |

Best definition I've heard so far, paraphrased: "Political correctness is a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." |

In a facebook poll 92% of the people WANT a Christmas tree at the capital and not the Obama labeled "holiday tree". |

Well, my poll indicated 100% of the respondents didn't care what they call the darned tree because it's a pagan tradition that has nothing to do with the life of Jesus anyway. Of course, the sample pool was small and self-selecting, but why let that get in the way of a perfectly good factoid? |

ITs a HOLIDAY tree this year? Fn shait on a cracker. When is the back lash for this political correctness? Look if I say something and you are offended by it and your day cant go on, and you want to moan biatch and whine about it.... could you please just go martyr yourself in the back yard with a can of cas and roadflare. Look I will donate the road flare to even expedite your process. I aint the MAN, I didnt oppress your people, I am not inhibiting your pursuit of life liberty or happiness. Now get over it. Really stupidity ought to be painful. Maybe a Pavlovian response would kick in and they would see the error of their ways. |

I was talking to a veteran yesterday about our time when we served and the rampant political correctness concerning racism, and how NCO's and officers were so afraid of calling out those militant black men who displayed open racism. They were mostly draftees who were given a choice in court for theyre offences, of 5 years in prison or three years in the army (no, not much of a choice) but they took the obvious one and that is what we had to serve with...the NCO's and officers too, it was a different time in the military (the early 70's). There was a stark fear of being seen as a racist or the word even being brought forth in a courts martial proceeding, so the greatest care was taken to avoid it. I saw it along with other veterans I have spoken to. The same thing will exist over the muslim soldiers now serving. No one will want to be seen impinging on anyones religious prefference, even in the case to be tried at fort hood, watch and see. |

Will there be a Holiday Menorah too? |

Hey hey hey there - easy with that religious talk - this is a public forum! I don't think you can say Mehorah if you can't say Christmas Tree. I think it will probably be a Holiday-related celebratory candle receptacle. I'm afraid I don't know enough about Kwanzaa to make an appropriate (or inappropriate?) comment about that. |

In a facebook poll 92% of the people WANT a Christmas tree at the capital and not the Obama labeled "holiday tree". In another Facebook poll, 87% of the people identified Obama as the Governor of Kentucky. Moral of the story? Facebook polls suck! (Message edited by m2me on November 12, 2009) |

PC... Another issue taken on by South Park. The parents hated on the Christmas pageant and it ended up being the kids wearing grey jumpsuits and twirling around a shark tank with their arms out. Well, except for Kyle, cuz he's a Jew ya'know. He had the draedle song. (however the h3!! you spell it) |

Read something like this on someone's sig line over on Advrider "Political correctness is a doctrine of a delusional minority and the mainstream media which puts forth the notion that it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end". Fan-freaking-tastically true. |
