Being hard pressed to find a single appropriate definition of it, I will use that of Mr. Philip Atkinson put forth on the website ourcivilisation.com. Philip said “Political Correctness is the communal tyranny that erupted in the 1980s. It was a spontaneous declaration that particular ideas, expressions and behavior, which were then legal, should be forbidden by law, and people who transgressed should be punished. It started with a few voices but grew in popularity until it became unwritten and written law within the community. With those who were publicly declared as being not politically correct becoming the object of persecution by the mob, if not prosecution of the state.”

If you are offended by definitions that appeal to the raw emotions and prefer a more scholarly explanation then perhaps this one from Wikipedia will do. Offering this second definition so that any offense to the reader may be thwarted is the most practical example of what drives the notion of political correctness in the first place. The preceding statement is tongue in cheek, what follows is the definition.

“Political Correctness (also politically correct or PC) is a term used to describe language, or behavior, which is claimed to be calculated to provide a minimum of offense, particularly to the racial, to the cultural, or other identity groups being described.”

Almost all that pertains to maturity and certainly all that pertains to New Testament Christianity have been based on common politeness, holding others in high esteem and genuine respect for all people. Political correctness seems more involved in images rather than the Christian belief that all men are created in the image of God. The difference is that the former is based in perception and the latter in reality.

When Christians see images of fanatically driven Muslim extremist flying into buildings to kill themselves and take as many with them as they can, that does not provoke feelings of political correctness. Any one with an ounce of humanity, Christian or not, would initially want to use far less than savory words to describe the perpetrators of this kind of mass murder. It is only the Spirit of God and the word of God (Christ’s commandments) that persuade the believer to see right through the outward display and see each participant of such acts as worthy but misdirected souls who are created in the image of God, in spite of the image they are creating.

Thousands of problems arise from mindless adherence to the unwritten tenants of political correctness. One is that while it tries to make a culturally level playing ground for all common speech it tends by its nature to provoke falsehood, and it genders class distinctions that go far beyond reality. For example as it pertains to the dreaded N word an entire class or group is silently ignored. They are never called out for their use or misuse of the word. That group is African Americans.

In African American social life, films and music, the N word is used profusely. That is they use the word to describe themselves frequently. That never seems to raise the question among the proponents of political correctness about the classes of users and non-users it is creating. It seems that the N word is only off limits to Caucasians but not to African Americans. The Blatant use of racially bent titles as in the movie “White Men Can’t Jump” are overlooked because white people supposedly are the only ones who are known for political incorrectness. Here is double talk at its nefarious height.

Far from being a level playing field that is created by strict PC, it is a world of class defining word wrangling and semantic nonsense. Political correctness is a true enemy to free speech, common sense and common decency. It is a doctrine that has been floated on the waves of liberalism private “Imaginary Ocean” rather than anchored in any real part of America’s founding principles, law or jurisprudence. Perhaps it may be good for some humor, even if that is not ever what was intended. To wit, look at some of these politically corrected definitions of some rather common phrases and words.

Old Person – Gerontologically advanced
A Crook – A morally or ethically challenged individual
Drug Addict – Chemically Challenged
Bum – Displaced Homeowner
Alcoholic – Anti-sobriety activist
Insane People – Selectively Perceptive

One of the more disconcerting aspects of PC trends is its marriage to anything that emerges from pop culture or is in its throws to gain new acceptance. The great push for homosexuality to be accepted as a part of our culture or even as a new race of people that should be accorded ever
