About "Say It Like It Is." Over the course of the past fifty years, "Political Correctness" has morphed from a social nicety to a national enforcement of stupidity. Due to political correctness, common sense has become less important in our society than the need to be hypersensitive to each and every group of minorities within our borders. Liberals have worked slowly but steadily to promote and further the asinine concept of political correctness and have been successful in implementing it. We are so sensitive these days that the mere mention of a nationality or a particular behavior has people gasping and whispering words like bigot, hateful and intolerant. As a society, we've forgotten how to speak to one another in a truthful and direct manner. As a result, we have countless "Interpretational breakdowns" or "Misunderstandings" on a personal, professional and political basis every day. These "Misunderstandings," as Liberals call them, are the result of our inability to actually convey our thoughts and intentions in a direct and non-politically correct manner. Sensitivity to the most mundane and insignificant aspects of life has turned Americans into a weak and litigious people who are neither respected nor respectable. Few people in our country actually have the inner fortitude to ignore the Liberals rules regarding speech and "Appropriate topics," and actually, "Say it like it is." I hope to point out how accustomed we've become to political correctness and how completely asinine the whole thing really is. Political correctness is the best example of what happens when Liberals work to gradually normalize and institute a concept that has had nothing but detrimental affects on our country. Where has political correctness led us? It's no longer acceptable to call the Chinese, Chinese. We can't refer to a Black man as a Black man. The word criminal should no longer be used to describe an individual who breaks the law. Pride
