Political correctness, like its less virulent cousin relativism, destroys the ability of a people to discuss and debate matters that are crucial to the future of their society. Relativism corrupts the language by draining the meaning from words. Political correctness, on the other hand, is a deliberate attempt to place certain topics outside the bounds of permissible discussion. Taken to its extreme, those who control what is politically correct to discuss, control the society by neutering its ability to engage in discourse regarding matters that have been determined unacceptable by the societal gatekeepers. It is as insidious as it is destructive.
The current tempest revolves around the abhorrent language and thoughts by Mr. Trump that have just been revealed. There’s no point in trying to pass it off as something acceptable because “most everybody does it.” Nor will we stoop to making comments such as “at least he didn’t do things as bad as the Clintons.”
While those statements may very well be true, defending Mr. Trump by using such statements immerses one directly in relativism, one of the very things that has had such a deleterious impact on our nation. Put another way, what he said was wrong, and that indictment of his comments has nothing to do with what anyone else is doing. It stands on its own.
If relativism drains the meaning of our words, political correctness is a plain attempt to quarantine specific topics in order to control the agenda. It is destroying not only our nation and American culture, it’s actually killing people.

As you say, his big mouth, is what we love because it has informed us of all the backstabbing, lying and corruption that is going on that is ruling all of our lives!!!! Thank you DONALD TRUMP!!!
Maybe so, but I’m having fun with it!
f**k you truth and action you bigot’s
I disagree Angel … it is a toss up between the Globe awards ( Meryl Streep) and Moochelle Obama’s final speech
Hopefully he can lower all the wages do away with pensions and healthcare enslave the workers I push us nation forward so the billionaires can control it all
Thank you. Finally, someone put it into words!!!
That’s why we voted Trump to stop Obama from doing that and Hillary being the second wave of that same b******t
That is what communism/fascism does when it takes over, it kills the culture! That is exactly what happened to China and other countries like Afghanistan because the communist Islam took over.
It’s better than being beheaded or put in fema camps or being forceed to believe in Islam and shariah law.
First of all I like it he’s not politically correct! He says what he feels and I like that! He will do well he’s been prayed over and prayed for and praying for and will continue to do so. Use or just used to these politicians! I think it’s time for somebody with a little with a lot of backbone and a lot of mouth and a lot of excellent people he’s choosing for the jobs and cabinet. So why don’t we try to keep praying for him we can’t change him being our President like we couldn’t change Obama being the leader of this country. If you’re an American whether you like them or not you’ll make peace respect each other no matter what color or religion that’s what America is about that’s why refugees and illegals want to come here and most of these Americans want to move out! Know what I say move out! You’re not a true American you’ll leave more room for illegals and refugees to come in because they love America! The Americans it’s a disgrace what you have done to America. You watch the news on TV and other countries where they’re fighting on the streets and guns and tanks is that how you want to live!? I don’t. Respect our flag and those who desecrated it should be in prison like they’re supposed to be! So try being a good American respect each other’s race and religion smile at one another help one another and see what is better America will have! Pray!
