    Political repression can be subtle on its face but massive and widespread it its effects. There is no Gulag today but losing your job and being ostracized in your profession is devastating in its own right. Political correctness is real and dangerous and fear is the horse it rides. Suppose you are a college professor and you throw a "Christmas" party. You are ordered by administrators not to call it a "Christmas" party but a "holiday" party. You refuse and you are fired. You are then stigmatized as right leaning and religious and effectively banished from your field of expertise. This has happened and it is repression by definition.

    The Constitution goes both ways people can as a group marginalize people with backward beliefs and ideas and in time being opposed to SSM and making people feel bad at work hurting their feelings will cost you work and access to opportunities. Those with said beliefs will be in a tighter and tighter circle of like minded people like Evangelic Christians.

    Political correctness is lethal when a leader is so imbued with it that the words "Islamic Terror" cannot be uttered because it threatens the narrative and the legacy of a leadership that is totally committed to it to the peril and destruction of the country he leads. When events unfold it will be interesting to see how the administration will scramble to spin the deaths of fourteen Americans as anything other than Islamic terrorism. The American people must see political correctness for what it is and it may be time to remove this politically correct leader before more Syed Farooks come out of waiting. It's pretty clear that the seeds of Islamic terrorism have been fertilized with political correctness. Let's not forget that Hillary Clinton used political correctness to deny diplomats protection and then used it again to mask attacks that killed them with a video. It's obvious that the ideology of collectivism is more important to these people than the survival of American civilization.

    Well, this is interesting. Just like the neighbor of Farook everyone on this site appears too afraid of political correctness to respond. Case rested.

    The machinery of political correctness in now in the process of damage control feverishly working to fabricate an explanation that shifts responsibility from Islamic terror to Republicans with guns . It would be funny if it were not so tragic. The left has reflexively gone to the well of mocking right wing religious people for calling for prayers for the dead. The politically correct left is so deathly afraid of losing the next election that they are willing to promote a false narrative to keep themselves in power. They may succeed.

    Except all those guys were big state socialist. You know the left wing ideological design. Shoot Mussolini had a picture of Marx hanging in his office. And Hitler flat out said he was a socialist.

    Funny how people call you "Marxist" if you believe in government involvement in the economy such as through the building up of the infrastructure and the implementation of social security. But if you really know your history, you would know Alexander Hamilton (like Washington) advocated such government interventionism in his Report On Manufactures and Thomas Paine wrote about social security in Agrarian Culture. All this DECADES before Marx was born.

    Marx did not create these ideas. Our Founding Fathers did. He did not influence American scholars. On the contrary, American scholars influenced him.

    Well to be sure some amount of socialism is expected and needed. But look who were the first two guys you parroted? If you lead with your second statement you might have gotten a much different response. But calling Mussolini and Hitler right wing is like claiming stalin was right wing.

    We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.-Adolph Hitler
    As socialists, we are opponents of the Jews, because we see, in the Hebrews, the incarnation of capitalism, of the misuse of the nation’s goods.-Joseph Goebbles
    Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State -Mussolini
    Fascism recognises the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade-unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which diverent interests are coordinated and harmonised in the unity of the State.-Mussolini

    Do i need to post more for you?
    Calling them right wing is a falsehood to the extreme.

    I must be missing something. If you are told not to do something and you did it anyway, what was repressed?

    Yup. It started with McCarthy and his claim that anyone who disagreed with him was a commie and traitor. Today's it's the Faux network and the "politically correct" radical far right who practices the same nonsense.

    I hasn't taken long for the spin to take effect. The machinery of deflection is well underway as it has been in all historically brainwashed collective societies. The people must be led against what they see with their own eyes and presented with a false narrative to blindly march to. The president and his propaganda minions have been working overtime to indoctrinate the public with the absurd logic of not enough gun control or even more absurd, climate change, as the villains responsible for the massacre in San Bernardino. The fact that the culprits were here at all armed with the motives of destruction at a time when those motives are clearly defined and delivered unambiguously must not be acknowledged. If it is the next election is moot. Just as deaths in Benghazi were falsely attributed to a video, the deaths in san Bernardino must be falsely attributed to lack of gun control. This is classic. One can only hope enough of the public is reasonable enough to recognize it.
