#1 From the article:
political correctness has allowed the power of vocal minorities to intimidate, cajole, bully or shout down any critics who dare question their rights. The fact that these so called rights conflict with the rights of others or the essence of our democracy is conveniently forgotten as labels of racist, bigot and intolerant are the standard ad hominem return of fire.

In todays politically correct world, such slurs have the power to wreck promising careers and stifle any rational examination of the issues that confront us.

I saw this bumper sticker on a rusty old pickup on a Tennessee country road this week:

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OFFENDS ME

#2 Gadzooks man this man is a "liberal"???

Holy Cow, if a liberal takes offense to Sharia....is he really a conservative?

Let me ponder that for a moment while I run off a couple of million of those nifty bumper stickers...

#3 The push for "globalization" and multiculturalism tends to threaten the culture. The quest for cheap goods and foreign markets has led to some of this. PC is also wrapped up in pushing multiculturalism.

There was a guy on television today by the name of Mark Andol who started a store called Made in America. Everything he sells is made in America. It has been wildly successful according to the story. He has been in business for about six months. There is a presence on the internet as well as a physical store. It is somewhere in New York state. I'll bet there will be franchises before long or an expansion of stores. Creates jobs in this country.

#4 The ultimate basis of political correctness is the old Communist party line. See the article "Unexamined Mental Attitudes Left Behind By Communism" by Doris Lessing, a former Communist herself.
