Political Correctness is Misguided in Thought

                                     Way back in prehistoric days - let's say 35 years ago, it was a positive personal trait to be honest with everyone you came across. Whether someone agreed with what you said or not, most of the times it was generally appreciated as one of the qualities of what was known as "A Stand Up Guy". A person willing to face the slings and arrows of the opposition and keep moving forward based on the belief of morality and integrity, in essence, to "do the right thing".
                                   
                                     That concept is generally considered in today's culture as archaic, ignorant, abusive, intrusive and outdated beyond belief. It has been replaced by the talking heads that don't mean a single word they say, offer no firm position on anything of substance and waver in accordance with each changing wind of public opinion. Double-talk has become a language in and of itself and nearly every public figure on the planet regardless of their profession has embraced it, mastered it and prospered handsomely as a result.
                                     
                                     In the new religion of Political Correctness every practitioner gets a warm hug of love and acceptance from the masses, which should not be confused with the majority. In the present culture the term "Political Correctness" is directed at appeasing the minority elements of society, so as to avoid disagreement and the ensuing verbal parlay that will surely follow. In short, to disagree is to be disagreeable, and the posture is almost certain to be associated with racism, sexism, gender bias or one of a hundred other labels that are falsely assumed as factual.
                                     
                                     The symptoms of Political Correctness Disease are simple to spot and the individuals that support and promote it are even easier. They are the perpetual victims that are constantly being picked on, bullied, discriminated against, abused, neglected, and relegated to the lower rungs of the social classes despite having every opportunity to prosper. What is missing in their world is not greater acceptance and equal consideration by the majority, but the tools by which all people succeed - a work ethic, motivation to self-educate and a moral compass permanently set to live the right way and bask in the rewards of achievement and self fulfillment.
                                       
                                      Within the pretense of Political Correctness an exaggerated sense of entitlement rules the day. As a victim everyone should compensated in some form, preferential treatment should flow from every corner of government and laws don't apply to the downtrodden. Police are viewed not as first responders putting their lives on the line daily in the public interest, but rather as racist thugs with itchy trigger fingers and an agenda to harass and abuse anyone of an ethnic background that isn't of the majority.
                                         
                                       Even worse is that an astonishing number of these "entitlement sponges" are egged on by politicians eager to curry favor in minority legislative districts, race baiting national religious figures and even wealthy foreign nationals bent on anarchy.
                                       
                                       Sadly, the real truth of Political Correctness is that the concept is crafted solely to prevent the majority from expressing themselves openly, so as to limit the acceptance of the notion that things are as they are for a number of specific reasons - and none of them has a thing to do with images of victims and victimization.
