I think I was about 20 or so when I first heard the term politically correct. Who are they how is this movement regulated (who decides what and how) .

And if I wanted to kick thier little hinney where would I go to do that ?

Where is this faceless and seemingly leaderless garbage coming from - Can we have the common sense movement back please ?

Maybe it did I really don't know but I am unwilling to blame Carter for the "PC" crap after all he was the guy who claimed he had commited adultery in his heart based on the scripture in the New Testament "Verily I say onto you that whosever lusteth after a woman in his heart has commited adultry already"

Carter might not have been the brightest bulb in the pack but I don't blame him at all for the PC crapolla

"If it walks like a duck and it swims like a duck and it quacks like a duck Then it's a duck "

Another good saying that predates the PC stuff

I agree. When someone says they are politically correct it is the politically correct way of saying they are a Fascist.

Political Correctness (PC) is the communal tyranny that erupted in the 1980s. It was a spontaneous declaration that particular ideas, expressions and behaviour, which were then legal, should be forbidden by law, and people who transgressed should be punished. (see Newspeak) It started with a few voices but grew in popularity until it became unwritten and written law within the community. With those who were publicly declared as being not politically correct becoming the object of persecution by the mob, if not prosecution by the state.

The Odious Nature Of Political Correctness
To attempt to point out the odious nature of Political Correctness is to restate the crucial importance of plain speaking, freedom of choice and freedom of speech; these are the community's safe-guards against the imposition of tyranny, indeed their absence is tyranny (see "On Liberty", Chapter II, by J.S. Mill). Which is why any such restrictions on expression such as those invoked by the laws of libel, slander and public decency, are grave matters to be decided by common law methodology; not by the dictates of the mob.

Clear Inspiration For Political Correctness
The declared rational of this tyranny is to prevent people being offended; to compel everyone to avoid using words or behaviour that may upset homosexuals, women, non-whites, the crippled, the mentally impaired, the fat or the ugly. This reveals not only its absurdity but its inspiration. The set of values that are detested are those held by the previous generation (those who fought the Second World War), which is why the terms niggers, coons, dagos, wogs, poofs, spastics and sheilas, have become heresy, for, in an act of infantile rebellion, their subject have become revered by the new generation. Political Correctness is merely the resentment of spoilt children directed against their parent's values.

Sorry. You won't be able to kick their little hinney. The internet gives the following information:

The original sense of politically correct was as a term used to address mixed bodies of people so as not to offend. In 1793, Justice James Wilson in Chisholm v. Georgia used the term to distinguish between the phrases United States and people of the United States (he believed the latter to be politically correct). In 1936, H.V. Morton's In the Steps of Saint Paul referred to the term Galatians as a politically correct way to address anyone subject to Roman rule. In 1955, a translator for Czeslaw Milosz, applied the term to orthodox interpretations of the holocaust in the English version of one of Milosz's works
