Political Correctness is Incorrect!

I believe that within each person there lies a desire to be one with each other, to live harmoniously in a world where, one day, a man CAN be "judged on the content of his heart and not the color of his skin".  But, as fate would have it, that day has not yet arrived. There are still those in this society who are products of antiquated thoughts and beliefs, misinformation and just plain ignorance.  I personally have contempt for anyone who is not willing to converse and examine his or her ideas, give and receive information and then formulate or re-formulate their ideas and principles.  But I salute those ignorant folks who can’t, or won’t, because they have held on to one of America’s basic beliefs, concepts and principals…freedom of speech and the expression of that freedom.

Now, I don’t have to agree with your opinion or the expression of it but I support your right to say it!  As a matter of fact, I wish you would.  In that way, we can have an exchange of ideas, concepts and beliefs and if you don’t want to do that or you don’t agree with my ideas and principals or I don’t believe in yours, we can go our separate ways until one of us realizes our folly.  Say it so we don’t have to guess what is going on inside of you.  Say it so we know exactly where you are at and what you believe.  If you have a position and you believe in it, don’t be scared, voice it!  Forget being politically correct!  Now you might say that your views aren’t popular anymore in this day of political correctness.  Rest assured they are just as popular.  Political correctness has just made you skittish.

Political correctness is a joke!  Political correctness is incorrect!  I salute people like Bill Maher and Michael Moorer who exert their First Amendment rights, whether I agree with them or not.  Even the “Teabaggers”, those moronic political conservatives, have the right to espouse their views.  Let’s start another HBO show called “Politically Incorrect, Teabagger Style” or “G.O.Politically Incorrect”.  Let them express their right to be politically incorrect like Bill Maher and Michael Moorer and then let’s see who follows them.  We already know that a laughing stock Rush “Limp Baugh” is.  Let them say what’s really on their minds instead of couching it in “politically correct” terms and phrases meant to deceive and hide their true intentions.  Let’s see what they really have to say.

Political correctness robs you of being “you”.  It forces you to accept others for the facade that they put on and want others to see.  It teaches us to lie about those things inside of us and represses our ability to examine and review our opinions and thoughts for change.  It, like its name implies is a “state of reform” or “a state of setting right or rectifying”.  It is one stagnant step in legislating thought.  It tells us how we should look at things, how we should think about things.  True “political correctness” is informational, not dictatorial.  Psychologists will tell you that 99% of the decisions we make are made with insufficient information so the more information, the better the decision.  Political correctness does not provide information or permit change, it orders it, dictates it.  True change can only be achieved through a close examination of ones ideals and principles.  Political correctness only fuels the fire of deceit and hatred. 

The founding fathers knew this well.  In drafting the Constitution, the first idea, the first thought and therefore the first change or amendment to the Constitution was to include in it the right of citizens to free speech.  Speech begins with a thought which is an opinion.  Political correctness deprives us of those opinions and the right to express them in speech.  Political correctness abridges the freedom of speech and is therefore unconstitutional.
