Politically Correct Inconsistencies

Political correctness is an insidious form of dishonesty that when taken seriously can do a great deal of damage. Let me give you a couple of examples.

• I heard on the radio today that a “concerned” group has decided that brainstorming is an offensive term to some people. Can you guess what group this term is attacking? Neither could I. Turns out, it is people with epilepsy. If you’re a parent of a child with epilepsy and you think the term is unfairly belittling your child, could you let me know? Their solution, just say thought shower.
• Also on the radio (Jim Rome), I heard an interview with Billy Bean. Now, I do sympathize with Mr. Bean for the unfair and unloving treatment he’s received from many a player and fan for him being an openly gay baseball player. But what I do think unjustified is whenever someone applies the term homophobe to someone who merely disagrees with the homosexual lifestyle. Several dictionaries have added to the word contempt to the definition, when phobia has meant fear since it’s Latin root. So now they are changing the meaning of words, when it fits their cause. Even if the word did include the newly attached meaning, mere disagreement wouldn’t fit that definition.

This tells me that the politically correct crowd has a political agenda to promote. When is free speech not free speech? When it’s being used to combat the agenda of the PC illuminati.
