For the record, the reason I think Political Correctness is the new Nazism is because of what it does to public discourse. The NAZIs depended on rigid group-think to maintain their status as "controllers". If anyone challenged the status-quo they were labeled in such a way as to invalidate ideas before they could be shared; weighed and debated.
The reason there are no real debates in America is because whenever someone is losing a debate the other side hysterically screams "racist!" Or they scream "mysoginist!" Or they scream "think of the children!" Admittedly "mysoginist" doesn't have nearly the punch as "racist". Basically anyone who doesn't agree that white heterosexual males are the bane of human existence is a bigot in contemporary society. And frankly, most white heterosexual males have come to believe they are morally inferior to anyone not in the same demographic. Or at least they've decided they will act like they believe it so they will not be punished and shunned for their anachronistic belief that all races and genders are equally flawed.
So now America is a place where if you challenge why we have given up so many freedoms since 911 - people say "Do you want the terrorists to win!"
To which I reply, "No, but you obviously do if you want us to voluntarily give up something that the terrorists are trying to take from us. Namely, our freedom."
Right now we have a supreme court unwilling to do what is right because at least one justice is afraid of being labeled a bigot.
Some poor schmuck in Florida is going to spend his life in prison because Al Sharpton wants him there.
A guy with a long criminal history and a life filled with irresponsible choices recently died and his passing was lamented as the death of a hero. Only in a land incapable of being honest with itself would Rodney King be labeled a hero.
Welcome to the Planet of the Apes. The upside down world where being irrational gives you unchallenged political power.
