they think people are forced to be politically correct
of course its not true
they don't realize that people ARE politically correct because they are more successful when not pissing whole groups of people off for no good reason, they are politically correct by choice because it benefits themselves

Political Correctness is hardly a new word, nor a new phenomenon, it's a fact of life in America. We live with it every day, even if many of us are so comfortable with it that we don't notice it. Rather like racial prejudice prior to the civil rights movement of the 50s, or, to go back further, like Victorian taboos on discussing certain topics in even the most metaphorical terms.

Actually, PC is a non-entity. At best, it is a thin camouflage for those who just want to be blatantly insulting.
Honesty doesn't mean a complete gut-spilling, nor does it require that harsh or cruel words be used to convey one's honest thoughts.
Thoughts or opinions need not be expressed in the most offensive way.
Below is a link to my blog posting on the topic of P-C.

We're giving it up! COOL! Forget it! Get rid of it! I agree! If the conservatives are doing it now I warn them:
"It's a dead end and totally against the democratic principles my party fought for. Don't go that way! It doesn't help. It's anti-American. Talk to us. We'll help you cure yourselves of it."
That's assuming we're going back to our roots, right? No socialism, free speech, charity rather than national extortion, less government, free expression, equality, etc.

They think it applies just to them.
They don't realize it also applies to liberals whenever we criticize Bush and his crappy policies or organized religion. Just imagine if Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson said what they said against christianity today. They would be figuratively lynched by the religious right in this country.
