And that has brought our nation of the strong and independent down to its knees.
We now bow before a nearly godless society of dependent people led by a group with a mind set that was never intended to be. Kindness and love is one thing. Kindness without accountability is yet a totally different destructive thing to those who are self reliant.
Kindness and love is a helping hand and a understanding. Kindness without accountability is a handout and enabling.
These are some good links to better understand the delusion of political correctness.
Does anyone else remember George Orwell's "1984"? As I recall, it was the restructuring of the language that allowed the government to control the thoughts of the people. Speech codes seek to do the same thing; by removing certain words from our collective subsciousness, they seek to change our views towards certain segments of our population. While the goals might be admirable, the methods are not, and are by no means justified by the final goal.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, political correctness swept over this nation like a blanket of McCarthyism. New phrases were invented daily to replace the old judgmental and politically incorrect phrases that we had been using since the invention of the English language.
If you want to alter your speech habits in order to conform to your vision of political correctness, feel free. But, if you want to alter my speech habits to conform to your vision of what is and is not acceptable, then you have overstepped your authority. As a society, we should resist the temptation to do bad things for what we see as good reasons. We should not walk gleefully into the tyrannical abyss of speech and thought control. I certainly won't.
