Liberalism seeks equality and free Speech. Political Correctness prevents us from discussing our differences thus removing Free Speech, which is the lifeblood of equality. **** PC.

Political correctness isn't a particular term, yet once you sometimes advise because of the fact some labels are proper and others not, it rather relies upon on how a techniques that is going. The "politically suitable" term for african-human beings has replaced many situations in the process my existence, and it could get complicated. i think it probably even confuses african-human beings, because of the fact the term "coloured" is not proper, however the N.A.A.C.P. continues to be the N.A.A.C.P. this is complicated. i've got additionally seen it pushed to ridiculous limits, there turn right into a modern outcry because of the fact some flesh presser used the notice "*********" in some impromptu speech. The notice has no racial connotations to it, and has been area of English because of the fact that till now England colonized the Americas. Political correctness utilized to non-racial aspects is in many situations much extra complicated, and has undesirable effects. to assert somebody is "not disabled, yet in a distinctive way abled" may be interpreted as "ok, so i don't ought to make any allowances for that individual." to assert somebody is "challenged" additionally makes it harder to comprehend only what the subject is. "fats" is fairly sparkling to maximum human beings, yet what approximately "metabolically challenged"? Is that excusing the subject? So, getting decrease back to racial labels... If a ability company says "i'm not hiring that Indian American" or "i'm not hiring that Wog", does it rather matter type which term they use? the guy categorized nevertheless has the comparable subject, do not they? a individual who's "mentally challenged" has the comparable subject as a "retard", do not they? in actuality, i think of this is loads of hoopla approximately not something. in spite of the shown fact that, that isn't supply up me from relating my Toyota as a "Chauffer pushed Limo" because of the fact it makes me experience extra advantageous.

No, Liberals are only for speech that they agree with or speech that offends people they don't like. Everything else is subject to their scrutiny and they get to decide whether the questionable cases are acceptable or subject to their censorship (through intense pressure).
Good Bless You too Steelmillcowboy, and Merry Christmas. And shame on you for saying those things (just kidding, I'm glad you wished us good tidings). But I know it's going to piss off a lot of people and that about the only thing worse would be if you had told us that you named your pet pig some inappropriate name.

PC is a red herring. All liberals that I know are ready to slug it out with anyone. Please say everything you want to say. We'll debate you on the issues. Don't go WHINING about your free speech just because I prove you wrong. The true PC people are the most closed minded people on the planet, but their numbers are infinitesimally small. They don't represent the left. And Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it! I do.
BTW, the ACLU has protected the rights of free speech for everyone for decades. Even pinheaded racists.

I've never heard of political correctness curbing free speech. If you want to say ****** and **** then go to town man. There aren't any guys in black suits running out and burning down your Christmas tree, as if its origins have anything to do with Jesus not to mention the way its celebrated. They should call it capitalism day.
Aren't YOU the guys that want to ban flag burning? Now THAT'S banning freedom of expression... I sure as **** don't want kids in school being preached to about how if they turn out to be gay they'll go to hell.

Actually it's true liberalism. Liberals want free speech--only when it's speech that agrees with them. The ACLU is the best example of this, attacking Christians' rights to free speech, while campaigning for the free speech rights of gay groups.
(Go ahead liberals, give me the thumbs down, but it's the truth)

Liberals are pushing political correctness on us. The two go hand in hand.

Wrong. PC involves the use of tact in discussing our differences. PC and liberalism are not opposing terms.
