    Absolutely.

    Obama posing as a republican would not make Obama a republican.

    Is this really confusing you?

    Nothing better than a poster that is an extremist in perception to the point of blindness.

    And conservatives become upset--often offended--and call out Republicans who break ranks because such behavior is not appropriate, right?

    You just said "PC was meant as a joke", and from the soviets no less.

    The worst kind of blindness is intentional blindness.

    Dude no offense but I don't think you understand what PC means.

    I gave you a link.

    What you are talking about is NOT PC.

    The term "politically correct" was used disparagingly, to refer to someone whose loyalty to the CP line overrode compassion, and led to bad politics. It was used by Socialists against Communists, and was meant to separate out Socialists who believed in egalitarian moral ideas from dogmatic Communists who would advocate and defend party positions regardless of their moral substance.

    Ok. So hopefully you grasped from that passage, that its a tool of the left.

    Today, its still used by these marxists.

    It's perfectly fits in with the definition of PC. Besides, that's not all.

    Happy Holidays!

    Tapping out?

    Thats the nice thing about facts, the left can't dispute them.

    This is why they have moved on to feelz and rhetoric.

    Your problem is not only with me. Its the fact that the representatives I helped put in office are woke now as well.

    You want me to prove that you do think I understand the concept I'm attempting to discuss? That's an odd request.

    Many conservatives are offended by the term "Happy Holidays" and prefer people use the phrase "Merry Christmas" because "Happy Holidays" marginalizes Christians along with one of their most important holidays. They boycott businesses, rant about it online, and often correct people to their face. This is PC.

    According to Google:
    po·lit·i·cal cor·rect·ness
    pəˈlidəkəl kəˈrek(t)nəs/
    noun
    1. the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.
    According to Merriam-Webster:
    politically correct
    adjective

    Definition of politically correct
    : conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated


    What are you trying to argue, that since PC was started by liberals (debatable, since the phrase goes back over 300 years and can be seen in US legal print as far back as 1793), and most associated with liberals today, that only liberals can think that way?

    The very clear ties between this disregard for "political correctness" and the rise of anger and hatred as well as increased party separation is blatant. Perhaps we needed the use of this ideal to maintain civility. Likely I am about to get slammed and attacked for my commentary, which will simply add to its accuracy.

    I appreciate you taking the effort.

    My point was that PC has nothing to do with RINO's.

    Its a different concept.

    Im not offended by happy holidays, as holiday means holy day.

    I make a point to say Merry Christmas to all of the "liberals" I see.

    It makes their eyelids twitch.

    What are your thoughts on someone labeled as "liberal" being a proponent of speech codes?

    Does it seem paradoxical to you?

    I think you have it backwards.

    The rise of anger is a reflection of one group telling another what they can and can't say.

    Much like democrats saying that civility will be returned only when they are back in power.

    In other words its a shakedown-do as we say, or there will be trouble.

    It's based off the same philosophy.

    Okay, and not all liberals are PC, either. Perhaps you're not a PC conservative, but a great many are when it comes to Christmas.

    Obviously, I do. I've supported free speech many times over the decade that I've been a member here, both against liberal and conservative attacks. I don't think anyone can say my posts are PC or that I've ever expressed a PC attitude toward anyone here.

    Thats nice but you were also lamenting the decline of PC.

    Why would a liberal be for PC?

    Why do you think so many see PC as a problem. (80% of Americans)

    I can't see this as anything but two sides accusing each other of the same thing, and both being correct.

    That one is so incredibly disconnected from reality as to cause great pain in my eyes from all the rolling. I can't believe anyone would think that all this screaming and hostility simply evaporates, no matter who wins. It really underscores just how ignorant politicians can be.

    And that applies to both sides equally.

    One side is calling for speech codes (PC), while using the internet to silence that same speech.

    Hillary SAID civility will be restored when people vote in dems.

    She's not ignorant, its a threat to one side, and instructions to the other.
