Joe, <<<The problem with Political Correctness is that it sets out some ideas (which are not necessarily rational or valid), and goes on the campaign to root out competing ideas. It is the very antithesis to the open market of ideas. It is about intimidation, not persuasion, it is about shutting down discussion rather than opening it up, it is about limiting parameters rather than expanding them. And it is about thought control (thanks for using the right term).>>>

You have been duped. Political Correctness are really code words for those who are now not comfortable cracking sexist jokes in polite company, using the N-word to describe people of color, spouting hatred for Jewish and other non Christian beliefs, punctuating their sentences with obscenity, and other anti social remarks.

For the dupes, they feel that everything is now okay and that we have tipped the balance in favor of the down trodden. They believe the down trodden are now really in power.

Give me 2 or 3 examples of what you belieive are valid ideas where the "Politically Correct" are shutting down open discussion.
