Political Correctness: A Tool of Liberal Coercion

It is naïve to think that political correctness is simply a matter of being scolded for saying something unacceptable to liberals. It has become much more than that. Political correctness is a deliberate tool used by the Left to intimidate conservatives and people of faith into silence, with the goal of making our classic and time-tested opinions illegitimate.

Political Correctness is a strategy, a weapon of social warfare, a bullying against those unwilling to reshape and renounce their traditional belief system and bow to the dictates of the leftaucracy dead-set on total domination of our lives and culture. It enforces censorship and activates demonization, threatening those unwilling to submit and apologize with loss of job, livelihood, social acceptability, company sales, friends, reputation and status.

It is the liberal version of Islamic blasphemy laws, ruthlessly excising anyone who questions or strays from the left-wing cultural and social dogmas. It is the most un-American development in our lifetime.

The current theology of politically correct thinking extends into our schools and classrooms, as well. Teachers are being reprimanded and bullied into silence when they attempt to protect children there to learn from the violent, bullying behaviors of a select few students there to disrupt. Parents need to visit their children's and grandchildren's schools and listen to the vulgarity that is being expressed toward your children! Demand a change before it's too late.
