I cannot believe most of you are blaming the Dems for what the Republicans have actually done. The School Board in Texas (Republicans) control what is published in most of the school books used in the US. It is the Republican Party that is trying to change our government to a Fascists regime. The Europeans and even the Russians have published this in news articles several years ago. I think all of you need to wakeup to the truth.

Thank you for the article. I am so glad that there are still Americans who are not afraid to speak their minds and to do it effectively. We have cowtowed to the elites too long. I love my country,The USA and am brokenhearted to see politicians who care more about being elected or re-elected than they do about our nation as a whole. enough is enough.
God Bless you and my prayers are with you.

I just finished reading Sarah Palin’s book “Going Rogue”. I admire her and her forthrightness and was incredibly shocked to see the extent to which she was persecuted by those who shared another point of view. Our freedom of speech must be maintained and strengthened or the only people running for public office will be those with only one point of view and our government will be useless to the majority of Americans.

Thank you, Jedediah- -”Political correctness” is pure hypocrisy- -truth and honesty is what is needed. If it offends and the shoe fits, too bad! We’ve already had too much “political correctness”, arrogance, lies, innuendo, hypocrisy, non-ethics and immorality, as demonstrated by the current administration- -this administration should resign, gracefully, and GET OUT OF OUR WAY – -instead of continuing to embarrass, threaten and endanger every patriotic American, in this country!

May GOD continue to bless you young lady; your definition of political correctness is the most perfect document I have ever read. As a seventy year old man I have been near tears for the miss use of this tererable inhuman impersonal thing we call political correctiveness. Thanks for saying what every parent, grandparent methinks almost daily.

Thanks for being an American.

Regards

Maybe if we really start speaking out whats on our mind, people will really start to understand what we are trying to say.

OOOooops !! You ALL missed it !! (If memory serves). I am virtually certain that the very first time the term “politically correct” appeared in print was in a book published in 1949, titled “1984″ by George Orwell (as in ‘Orwelllian’). Its about a totalitarian regime, headed by ‘Big Brother’ (Big ‘Bama?) whose tools of oppression are pervasive government surveillance, public mind control, and the voiding of citizens’ rights, certainly speech.
Other terms used were ‘doublespeak, thoughtcrime, Newspeak’. The sci-fi novel (poli-sci) presents stunning and hair standing parallels with events of 2010.

I have long been incensed by pressure from our justice system to refer to those who are caught red-handed–either in person or on tape– inflicting serious harm or killing someone, as simply the suspect or the accused. If I witness with my own two eyes such a crime, it is an absolute insult to my intelligence to have to refer to that person as an alleged perpetrator.
I am going out on a rather dangerous limb here, but someone recently brought to my attention the fact that, Obama’s Muslim background and upbringing plus his own admission to being a Muslim–means that he would be forbidden from speaking against another Muslim. Perhaps I am worrying needlessly and making a mountain out of a molehill, but it does concern me greatly that this might be influencing his decisions and his handling of terrorists who without-a-doubt, and by their own boasting, seek to kill us. I would hope I am wrong about this.
