The evil that is political correctness has gained a hold in today's society because no one has had the courage until now to denounce it. 99.9% of politicians are cowards. They do not have the courage or convictions to denounce it for fear of being labeled a racist or any other label that the left pulls like a gun. All they are interested in is being re-elected. Political correctness has damaged our country and will continue to do so if not confronted. It has chipped away at the pillars of our society and has weakened this nation. President Trump has exhibited that political courage and millions of Americans will support him for doing so. Political correctness needs to be eradicated and thrown onto the ash pile of failed ideology.

Where does political correctness begin and end for you? In other words, what's ok and what isn't it? I'm curious.

Anything that damages the foundation that this nation was built upon. You lefties use it as a tool to accomplish that. Political correctness is nothing but a propaganda ploy to accomplish your means. Lies and revisionist idealogy.

Ah, another poster that ignores content of posts. I'm not a lefty.

It was a genuine request for you to define political correctness as you see it.

What the Democrat Party doesn't realize is they have hitched their wagon to the far left fringe of society. They simply don't realize the pulse of this nation. Winning New York and California might get you the popular vote but that alone cannot win the electoral college. As of right now, there are still more Americans that believe in the exceptionalism of the nation as opposed to Obama's philosophy. Trump's election was a direct repudiation of the direction that Obama was taking this nation in.

So if an Indian says, "hey, it's kinda BS that we always get portrayed like Apu on the Simpsons" and studios move away from that characterization, would you consider that caving to political correctness?

Political correctness is, by my definition, not being able to voice one's own belief system for the sake of hurting someone else's feelings.

We should be able to be honest with one another in society and everyone would know where everyone stands. Think about how refreshing a 3 yo child's honesty is.

I have a feeling people would differ about what the foundation of this country is. What makes it liberal, conservative, "great", etc.

For example conservatives hated the Miranda warning when SCOTUS mandated it in the 1960s. I think we can agree that would be considered a liberal ruling.

What is your opinion about Miranda and an accused right to stay silent and request a lawyer?

nothing is okay with PC. it has reached a point that people who want to be freaks; and be both a man and a woman, or want to marry their computers, or a donkey is accepted-- and-- the middle class, average Joe and white people are the bitter enemy and accused of being racist white supremacists.

It started with the n word.

We need to take the n word back.

i believe you may be still living in a world where you think they care what you think.

I think it's clear we are being coerced down this road whether we like it or not unless we draw a line in the sand and make our stand

The goal needs to be an honest discussion on race, genetic intelligence, impulse control and outcomes. As long as the science deniers decry this as taboo I have no reason to engage.

Such anger. Do yourself a favor and sign up for some anger management classes. Trump has driven you people into a hysterical frenzy. Such a sad state of affairs.

Do you think Obama ushered political correctness into the US consciousness?
