Political correctness vs. freedom to think.

[Ray9]

Is there only one “right” way to think? That’s what a lot of educators and politicians would have us believe. Political correctness is going to destroy this nation if we don’t address it quickly. Entertainers are being used to influence public opinion in some of the worst imaginable ways. The latest example is comedian Kathy Griffin holding the mock severed head of the President of the United States. Consider what would happen if a comedian were to display model showing a mock lynching of Barack Obama. The national outrage would sweep the country like the eruption of a super volcano. There is no “right” way to think. There is only freedom to think based on personal experience.

People need to understand political correctness exists for a reason and it's a necessity in this country.

The reason is to eliminate its political enemies, and it is not needed for anything.

It's soft fascism, pure and simple.

No it's not needed, it's more of you loon's intolerance...which by the way you moaned about in another thread

The idea is not to offend people. You have the freedom to be offensive, obviously. There are many images of Obama being lynched out there, disgusting, but where was this national outrage of which you speak?

The ultimate goal of the PC zealots is to control thought. They begin by intimidating you into not saying what you're thinking. They'll scream you down, they'll shut you up, they'll see to it that you're punished, they'll stop you from speaking in the first place if they can. Over time, you'll be conditioned as they want you to be. Obedient.

This is obviously the opposite of an open, liberal society. But as we know, these people are not liberals.

Griffin's response is perplexing. She is apologizing after seeing overwhelming negative reaction on social media. She sees the dollar signs diminishing. She has no empathy for those whose heads have been severed but she knows what a career killer is. She is like a criminal in court who reads a prepared statement to minimize her sentence. This is the kind of people who rise to the top under political correctness. Learn from it.

The left is fascist. Just many dupes don't know it.

We should all be upset when somebody goes too far, regardless of who the victim or perpetuater is.

No, it was actually very politically correct by current standards, i.e. "Bash teh Trump".

The issue was the implied violence of having to decapitate, in a rather bloody fashion, the sitting President's head.

No one is saying she should not have the view that the President sucks, or that even she would wish he was dead, the issue was the presentation.

PC would say you should be punished for having the thought or expressing it. This isn't about the thought, just the manner it was presented.

Yep.

The regressives make the rules on PC, they decide what is and what is not offensive or racist or misogynist or homophobic or whatever.

Which, you have to admit, makes it pretty easy.

Politically incorrect??? WTF kinda BS is that. Still searching for anything where a semi-well known person took a photo with a castrated Obama head. Maybe you could help us out by posting a link.

You are on a roll today Ray9 .

This is at least your 2nd thread.

Note however that thinking is your own responsibility.

A good way to start thinking properly is to study Philosophy.

The best way to get into Philosophy is read Bertrand Russell's book "History Of Western Philosophy".

Progressives cannot tolerate anyone that does not agree with their utopian world view…

It's ok for snowflakes to make a joke of the assassination of POTUS.

It's only bad if conservatives were to make a joke of the assassination of POTUS.

She can do what she wants, just don't expect anyone else to agree with her politically correct views…
