Political Correctness harms America
By
Roger Behra
Political correctness is basically a product of liberal Washington politicians, and the absurdity of it has invaded the United States mostly. However, it has spread to other countries, also. It’s effect is quite harmful, to put it mildly, and the effect is constantly with us each and every day here in America. And with America’s new president, the signs are it is going to increase. That is not good news for America.
Political correctness is the change in proper or standard procedures not in the form of law to meet a political agenda, and the change becomes a “right” that does not exist in the form of civil law or international law. In short, it is lawful without being a certified law.
An example of political correctness recently came from Washington, and it is going to badly hurt the U.S. in the future. Dozens of captured terrorists were released by the U.S. They have already resumed their terrorist activities elsewhere. They were simply given their “right”, because there was nothing in U.S. law saying that they should be retained. The group in Washington dreamed up a reason for their release, because they have “rights”. That was pure stupidity, strongly. And the group in Washington is set to ban the phrase, “war on terror”. Well, Washington can ban those words, but they cannot ban the terrorist war on the U.S.
It was enough to release the captured terrorists. Now, Washington is considering legal action against those who ordered and carried out the methods that forced the terrorists to reveal who made up their groups and their agenda. The good guys are going to have no “rights” or get credit for their efforts, which were quite valuable. Hasn’t anyone looked down the road to see what legal action, successfully conclude, will give the terrorists? Will American intelligence and treatment of terrorists have to be handled with kid gloves in order to protect the “rights” of terrorists? If any advantage is given to the terrorists, America will certainly be harmed in the future.
On the home front in America political correctness has greatly invaded daily social life. And indications are that it is going to increase during Obama’s presidency. Political correctness deprives ordinary citizens of the protection of their laws, while it pleases those who put political correctness into effect. One has to live in America to realize how much political correctness has harmed American culture. And the management in Washington is about to make it more so in the months to come. So, stay tuned, and do not be surprised at what comes at you from down the road.
