In a land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political correctness

“Tyranny…”? Hyperbole, much?
But I’ll be sure to let the slaves and Holocaust victims that they’re in good company, because people have questioned the political correct-ness of actions, that’s definitely comparable to US slavery and the Nazi Holocaust.

Dan – let’s be realistic, political correctness these days is not saying anything that might slightly upset anyone. Political correctness has a great social stigma about it; make it bad to be politically incorrect (e.g. being pro-nazi or pro-slavery, both things I agree were not and are not right,) and then slowly change the definition of political correctness to include so much more (e.g. “He opposes killing the unborn? Women hater!”) Actually, a fairly accurate defintion of political correctness is “anything that agrees with left-wing politics.”
But you already knew that, didn’t you ;) – it makes it so much easier to censor political thought by implying everyone you don’t agree with is pro-nazi doesn’t it? I should probably learn to not feed the trolls :)
““Tyranny…”? Hyperbole, much?”
Once again we see Dan claiming the authority to dictate just how narrow a definition should be. At the same time, however, I know many blacks, if not most, are greatly insulted by the homosexual agenda being portrayed as a civil rights issue. Kinda makes Dan’s comment ironic, doesn’t it?
And BTW, our founders feared a “tyranny of the majority” when they opted for a republic over a democracy. So use of the term “tyranny” isn’t out of line for RGIII. With political correctness and leftist whining, we now have a “tyranny of the minority”.
