On the "Politically Correct"

The term “Politically Correct” has been used as a card blanche to impose a great many unilateral agendas. It is the death of democracy posing as democracy. People should be true to their beliefs and their conscience, and it should follow that they should act by them as well, in all things, even in the face of dissention. Most of all in politics, a citizen must be true to his or her beliefs, even if they are tolerant of other beliefs. You may accept another and live harmoniously near them without condoning what you deem is wrong. This is tolerance. Bowing to what you deem is unjust, corrupt or even sinful is not tolerance, but betrayal of self and of those who share your views. It may well serve the “politically” inclined, but it will never be “correct”.
