The Politically Correct

[Jerry Shugart]

"“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” (Lk.18:9-14).​

Um, what's this got to do with "political correctness"?

Coincidentally, I just saw this elsewhere earlier this morning:

You know what happened to "civility"? You called it "political correctness," and mocked it.

If you can't figure it out then you do indeed belong in the Politically Correct camp.

No, it is the politically correct people like Maxine Waters who is telling everyone who will listen to abandon civility.

Maxine Waters--the new face of the Democratic Party!

Pfffft, if you can't explain your own supposed "point" then go join it yourself. I ain't politically correct by a long shot.

Eh? Do you even have the faintest idea of what "political correctness" actually consists of?

Have you not noticed that those of the politically correct party are the self-righteous ones?

Self righteous doesn't = politically correct. If it did then the likes of aCW would qualify along with a good many extremist blowhards and zealots.

 

[Jerry Shugart]

Self righteous doesn't = politically correct.

Could have fooled me!

You didn't notice all of the politically corrects who are crying crocodile tears because children were being separated from their parents at the border?

You've fooled yourself and you clearly don't have any idea of what constitutes "political correctness".

Here, let me help:

I'm not averse to using language and terminology that may offend or annoy other's sensibilities, especially when they're puffed up, zealous cranks by way of.

 

[Jerry Shugart]

Here, let me help:

Someone who is politically correct believes that language and actions that could be offensive to others, especially those relating to sex and race, should be avoided.

This is speaking about people telling others how they should behave because they think that they are more righteous than others might be. The Christian message sometimes offends others but I am not going to cease from preaching the gospel because there are some people on their high horse who say that I should avoid saying anything which might offend other people.

The idea of politically correctness is nothing but a trojan horse designed to shut up all discussion about things which are controversial. And in case you haven't noticed the biggest proponents of political correctness are the loudest voices in opposition to Christianity. When it comes to being politically correct about Christianity all of a sudden they couldn't care less about offending others.

This is simply victim mentality and is noticeably prevalent among Christian zealots who make mountains out of molehills and think there's some sort of agenda to silence them. There isn't. As much as aCW's seven year train wreck of a thread about homosexuality is as bat crazy as it gets I fully support his right to air the thing and come out with all the garbage that he does. You're not being told how you should behave and you're not on the verge of being censored so enough already.

Nor am I ... a person's language magnifies who the person is and what they are about. Example ... when someone categorizes whole groups of people as "rapists and murderers", a debate over whether or not the person is a nasty racist is futile.

It's not about *political correctness* but rather about decency.

Oh, but some zealots can't tell or "choose" to somehow not tell the difference...

Looks like somebody beat him to it. lain:

Anyone who isn't upset over that has bigger issues than some term largely concocted to whitewash poor upbringing and worse manners.

Yes, us Christian zealots are bad people because we actually care about the eternal destiny of our sisters and brothers. We defy politically correctness when we tell the unsaved that they are sinners in need of a Savior.

Unlike the politically correct crew who runs around telling everyone who will listen, "I'm OK, You're OK."

So say the hypocrites who were silent when Obama was doing the same thing!

Also covered under the guise of politically correct is having .... manners. Good manners have been replaced with crudeness, rudeness ... and mislabeled as "telling it like it is".

Perhaps it has more to do with not having an advanced or even moderate vocabulary.

I see that lately Maxine Waters, the new face of the Democratic Party, has been showing the fruits of her politically correctness!

Is that what the Dems call "manners"?
