As of now unless there is a dramatic shift in any of the above--their goals and or beliefs it really makes no difference which group's candidate gains power.....in a nutshell The American People remain clueless and leaderless.....a mass of confusion leading to the dustbin of History.....when China decides to pull the plug America will be flushed down the toilet.
Political Correctness is destroying America--until people understand what that is and what it has doine, is doing and will do they will never understand the problems or the answers.
The phrase 'Political Correctness' has been in existence for many years. A Wikipedia entry notes an early usage of the term in the 18th Century, and proponents of liberal thought used it in the 1970's. The idea has been around at least since World War 1, and one website attributes the phrase to Leon Trotsky. In an address to the AIA in 2000, Bill Lind said it originated in a comic strip. We laugh at the idea of political correctness, but as Lind points out, it is deadly serious. He calls it the:
...great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.
Destruction of language was a central theme in George Orwell's signature novel 1984, a book that should be required reading for anyone concerned about the state of modern American politics, for in it one finds many parallels between the fictitious tyrannical state of Oceania and modern liberalism.
Remove words, and one removes thought; Remove thought, and one removes freedom. In a conversation with the main character, Winston Smith, one of the "creators" of Newspeak explained:
The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking -- not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness
If this sounds familiar, it should.
Consider the knee-jerk reaction many liberals have any time Sarah Palin speaks. Rather than apply critical thought to anything she says, they react like Pavlov's dogs, snarling and sniping because that is what they have been conditioned to do by their puppet masters.
Political correctness has extended its tentacles in other areas as well.
Consider the case of Cody Alicea, the California school boy ordered to remove an American flag from his bike because Latino students might be offended, or the more recent case of the Oklahoma school boy who was suspended from the first grade because he made a "gun gesture" with his hand.
Even our military has been subjugated into being politically correct....the most recent outrageous example....the Negro serial killer and the Shooter on the Naval Base....obviously a nut case as well as a black racist ...nevertheless his superiors consistently put flattering comments in his military record because they knew that was the type of talk their superiors wanted to see about Negroes....because political correctness rules. aka....the Emperor has no clothes but no one will say it...being cowed into submission by political correctness.
Also..........Political correctness plays a huge role in any situation involving prayer, like the recent case in Hawaii where the state Senate bowed to the ACLU and became the first state to ban prayer in that legislative body.
As Lind points out, political correctness has as its primary goal, the advancement of a cultural Marxism. Lind explains:
...For the classical Marxist, its Marxist economics. For the cultural Marxist, its deconstruction. Deconstruction essentially takes any text, removes all meaning from it and re-inserts any meaning desired. So we find, for example, that all of Shakespeare is about the suppression of women, or the Bible is really about race and gender. All of these texts simply become grist for the mill, which proves that all history is about which groups have power over which other groups. So the parallels are very evident between the classical Marxism that were familiar with in the old Soviet Union and the cultural Marxism that we see today as Political Correctness.
The result of political correctness can be seen throughout modern American politics. Masses of people, hypnotized by the bumper-sticker campaign of a charismatic individual, fully supported by a lapdog media, elected one of the most liberal Presidents in American history.
Many cast their vote without thinking of the consequences, and the nation is now spiralling headfirst into socialism.
Anyone who disagrees with President Obama is instantly labeled a racist or a bigot, no matter how sound their argument.
Political correctness also plays a huge role in the advancement of many liberal causes like the environment or gay rights.
A casual observer can see how language is often changed to pursue the statist's goals, and those who disagree are instantly labeled "bigots", "deniers", or "haters".
Lind concludes his essay by writing:
...America today is in the throes of the greatest and direst transformation in its history. We are becoming an ideological state, a country with an official state ideology enforced by the power of the state. In hate crimes we now have people serving jail sentences for political thoughts. And the Congress is now moving to expand that category ever further. Affirmative action is part of it. The terror against anyone who dissents from Political Correctness on campus is part of it. Its exactly what we have seen happen in Russia, in Germany, in Italy, in China, and now its coming here. And we dont recognize it because we call it Political Correctness and laugh it off. My message today is that its not funny, its here, its growing and it will eventually destroy, as it seeks to destroy, everything that we have ever defined as our freedom and our culture.
Political correctness is a disease that threatens the very fabric of our Republic.
Free speech and freedom of thought is the cure.
