When we will know if political correctness has gone too far?
We already knoe it has.....................................look around
In far too many cases, it already has and we know it. The problem is that it's not "PC" to point it out. America needs to wise up and realize that all of this PC stuff is a convenient drape that quells the arguments against far too many social programs which ultimately seem to take on leftist political tones...look at Planned Parenhood; look at illegal immigration, and much more. No can criticize these folks for fear of being assigned a "Jack Ass" label who has no political correctness orientation...something we called a "redneck" a while back if it even comes to that level of accuracy. America can no longer afford to see its taxpayer dollars used to salve the conscience of those whose hearts burst with political correctness. We have to think with our brains instead of our hearts if we are to weather our current financial situation successfully. WB
we already do. look at what happens in politics these days and you will see how being correct has caused so many politicians to hold their tounges. politically correct is a bad thing in all asoects of life, basically it's lying with a smile on your face.
There are so many bad things that I could say about political correctness but I think it has pretty much been said. Well said Wayne Brown.
