The Dangers of Political Correctness

A growing Conservative Social Issue is Political Correctness. It’s often seen as a slightly funny effort to keep from hurting the feelings of another. And today there are many do’s and don’ts drilled into our heads on what we can and cannot say. “PC” is not funny, however; it’s deadly serious. This is definitely a Conservative Social Issue. Look at its history below:

• “PC” was a movement deliberately started by Marxists in 1923 to do away with Democracies and draw people to Marxism. Under Marxism, the individual is nothing, and Political Correctness was a means of helping destroy Democracy, the stated goal of Marxists. The founders wanted to change speech and thought patterns to this end and to call this change something that sounds positive. They chose Political Correctness. The last thing the founders wanted was to have this new movement associated with the Marxist Movement, or its outgrowths, Socialism and Communism. They pretty well succeeded, because today, most people don’t know of this early history.

• Political Correctness has been used by most of the 20th century dictators to gain complete control over a country. One example is in the early years of Castro’s Cuba (1959) “PC” was used to whitewash the repression and violations of human rights happening under Castro, where thousands of people were jailed, killed, or never heard of again, and make the evil-doers doing the killing look like saints. Cubans learned early on what was safe to say and what wasn’t. Soon, Castro had complete control of speech, and then of Cuba. He used the tools of education and media to accomplish this.

• In the 1960’s, “PC” was the perfect tool for the student rebellion against the Vietnam War and the draft. Student rebels needed an ideology to legitimize their rants, “Hell no, we won’t go” and “Make love, not war.” One of the founders of Marxist Political Correctness, Herbert Marcuse, introduced “PC” on American college campuses. This became a completely free theory where one didn’t have to work, had no hang-ups, where there was a free-love-and-do-your-own-thing-like drugs mentality, and for 1960s rebels, “if it feels good, do it.” What a wonderful message for the 1960’s radicals.“Liberating Tolerance” became intolerance for anyone thinking differently from the then politically correct crowd.

America today is reaping the harvest of the growing conservative social issue, “PC”. Political Correctness has infiltrated our schools, our textbooks, our media, in fact, the very framework of our society. We actually have people punished for verbalized political thoughts. We are so afraid of saying something that isn’t “PC” we often don’t say anything. Certain groups are automatically seen as more important than others, and can say whatever they want. The terror of anyone who dissents from Political Correctness is well-known. Retribution is swift, careers lost, good people destroyed, while the “Sainted Ones” revel in the destruction of any who is deemed politically incorrect. It is easy to stick a label of bigotry on someone, and this person may very well be ruined forever. 
Today,“PC” has grown to be a huge conservative social issue that has a stranglehold on American society. Political Correctness is not funny. It’s growing, and it will eventually destroy anything we have ever defined as our freedom and our culture. It is the single most important conservative social issue today is fighting political correctness. If we conservatives, in rebuilding our conservative values, do not change or stop the encroaching liberal spin and revision of American history to make America and Americans look bad to the rest of the world, then we will have lost our right to freedom of speech and with that loss, our democracy. And the world will hate us more!
