The Cycle of Political Correctness
by Jim Peron
Political Correctness is like pornography: we know it when we see it, but nobody wants to define it. We know something is obscene because it offends us. It?s not obscene when it just offends someone else; they?re just being intolerant!
I?ll try and define what I think PC means. It is a collection of beliefs which says that other beliefs are immoral and then tries to regulate or censor the immoral beliefs. As far as I can see this gets down to the fundamentals of political correctness. In our day the terms applies to a system of Left-wing beliefs, most of them obviously absurd, which judge the speech or thoughts of others and tries to control them. Not only does this cover the essentials, it also answers why no one else defines the term before condemning it. (cont)
