Political Correctness (for quillini)
    #5761810 - 06/17/06 09:08 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Quillini made an interesting comment. He said that he does not think political correctness exists. He seems to think that it is a "scare-term" used by the Right (and others) to villify the other side.

I asserted that political correctness does exist and I listed the various tenets of it. He said that I was describing run-of-the-mill Leftism. I should have been more exact in my definition. In my opinion, political correctness not only has all of the hallmarks that I listed but it has one main characteristic; the people who engage in it are very preachy and self-righteous. They strictly cling to their ideology and they also feel a need to proselytize their beliefs...either subtely or overtly. Is political correctness a cohesive and organized movement like many Rightist endeavors are? No. Political Correctness does not have groups, lobbyists, and unifying voices like Rightist groups (religious people, pro-gun groups, etc..) do.

It is interesting how Righties do not have a similar blanket term that is applied to them.
