Conservative correctness
From RationalWiki
with all the conservative whining about political correctness being a democrat's invention ,the below needed to be posted.
Conservative correctness ("CC"), also known as patriotic correctness ("PC"),[1] is a term referring to a brand of political correctness practiced by conservatives. Yes, seriously.
Whereas political correctness attempts to minimize offense through the rebranding of certain words and terms to be neutral or inclusive, its conservative counterpart rebrands terms to include extreme political bias. Concepts which are liked are Americanized or linked with positive thoughts such as freedom or liberty, while the disliked terms are rebranded in the most negative light possible (describing homosexuality as an "unnatural vice," for example). "CC" is especially hilarious considering that the most heated decrying of "PC" usually comes from conservatives.
The first recorded uses were made by Michael Fauntroy[2] and Bill Scher.[3]
