alphabetsoup2 - No, I happen to be married to a Mexican (she is by her own reckoning a proud American of Mexican heritage).

Freedom.
But we, all of us, must DEFEND that freedom or we will become completely oppressed by those who are afraid of offending anyone and who are deathly afraid of everything.

We have a pluralistic society and if people are to be treated equally and fairly, slurs against a race, religion or sexual orientation should be avoided in the public forum. That's just the way it is in America, and it's a reasonable limit on freedom, a cost we pay for living in a diverse society.

Freedom is of course. I am wondering if you asked your question because you thing that political correctness has impinged on your freedom. If so, can you cite some examples.
I would have to say that the Patriot Act is a bigger threat to our freedom than political correctness.

Freedom. I don't care if I should accidentally insult some one. Freedom trumps sensitivities every time. Screw PC.

I'm gonna go with freedom, but I'm just a homophobic racist tyrranical fascist tool of the military industrial complex.

It's funny, because usually people who are against political correctness and for freedom to say what they want are against war protesters and flag burning.
So what you really want is freedom for your speech and control over those who you disagree with. Kind of like Nazis.

My rights as a free citizen to question our political leaders, without being branded non patriotic!

I support free speech and civility. Applied equally across the spectrum.
If it is un-PC to pick on a minority for no other reason than the minority-status (and it is), then it is also un-PC to do it to the majority simply to exploit victim status to gain political edge (and votes).

Your right to freely swing your arm stops at the end of my nose.
Your right to freely express your hatred for minorities ends at their right to be free of such abuse = political correctness
So actually they are one in the same.
