Church of Political Correctness

[Logicman]

The liberal left may not have a structural 'Church of Political Correctness,' but they do have millions of adherents who practice their PC "religion".

Merriam Webster has the following as one of the definitions of religion: "a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith."

Various commentators have written about such a "church," to wit:

"When thinking of the modus operandi of political correctness, one is reminded of the Spanish Inquisition against non-believers. Today’s liberals have replaced the clerics of old with their own Inquisitors of right and wrong and have substituted the concept of sin with their own set of rigid “sinful” dictates. Anything that does not sanctify every form of public sexual (mis)conduct, or strives for wholesomeness, or even patriotism, is punishable. As with the Inquisitors 500 years ago, the politically-correct police assume you are guilty until you prove otherwise… even demanding that you denounce friends and family who hold views different than the Church of Political Correctness." - Jewish Rabbi Aryeh Spero

In addition,

"In her book “Godless: The Church of Liberalism,” Ann Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government-controlled schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the “absolute moral authority” of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident)."

Let a discussion and debate on this begin.

 

[Logicman]

One more excerpt from the OP article link:

"Political Correctness is a strategy, a weapon of social warfare, a bullying against those unwilling to reshape and renounce their traditional belief system and bow to the dictates of the leftocracy dead-set on total domination of our lives and culture. It enforces censorship and activates demonization, threatening those unwilling to submit and apologize with loss of job, livelihood, social acceptability, company sales, friends, reputation, and status. It is the liberal version of Islamic blasphemy laws, ruthlessly excising anyone who questions or strays from the leftwing cultural and social dogmas. It is the most un-American development in our lifetime."

Once again, as the OP states, "The liberal left may not have a structural 'Church of Political Correctness,' but they do have millions of adherents who practice their PC "religion". "

The Ten Commandments of Liberalism

"The Government is your sovereign, almighty and supreme, which raised some of you from the ranks of American citizens, lavished you with riches, privileges, and power, granted you immunity from prosecution, and rendered you secure in your lives for the rest of your days. You shall worship no other sovereigns before the government.

1:16 - "You may engage in any sexual relationships you desire, while celebrating unions among members of the same gender, or transgender, or bi-gender, and suffer ruinous penalties, condemnation, and/or threats against you for failures to comply with judicial or bureaucratic edicts that support so-called non-traditional marriage and self-designated sexual orientations."

And just one more for now:

The Ten Commandments of Liberalism

Excerpt:

You shall not steal. Liberal Version: "You may take as much property from others as you can, through taxation, confiscation, or administrative extortion, while sympathizing with rampaging mobs, looters, and destroyers of property and neighborhoods, all the time justifying your actions as striving for social justice."

That's right on the money. Couldn't have said it any better!

Yes, overly exerted crusades of political correctness is a sure signed of a failed liberal, because the very definition of the word itself describes a state of mind that is open to ideas and generous with its tolerance.

There is a form of political correctness on the Right too, even though many on the Right would never admit it.
And like PC on the Left, it has been known to go too far as well, but I'll say this much...conservatives will naturally exercise political correctness because it is in the nature of conservatism to do so.
An example of normal everyday natural Right wing political correctness would sound something like:

"That boy don't act right."
"Didn't your Momma teach you some manners?"

Of course, when one encounters certain fundamentalist Right wing Christian groups, political correctness is totally out of control.
Anything you do as an individual that doesn't conform to their dogma is likely to get you an ass chewing, or worse:



That's even if they don't know you, even if you're not a member of their church.
You'll get PC-ed to death by perfect strangers.

"In her book “Godless: The Church of Liberalism,” Ann Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism,

Ann can't throw open the doors of anything liberal because she's not a liberal.
It's like reading a book about scuba diving written by someone who has never been in the water.

Ann has been face-to-face with liberals and their far-left dogma for ages - on "The View," on CNN, and in numerous other liberal forums. She knows what their agenda is and what they believe. She deals with it almost daily.

What's really interesting is when she tries to speak on college campuses about her views and the left demonstrates to the point that they have to cancel her appearances. The left doesn't want to hear anything that conflicts with their irreligious beliefs.

 

[Logicman]

Not a chance.

Of course, if it's not a strawman you've constructed here, you'll be able to show evidence of "millions of adherents who practice their PC "religion"." Whom all believe in such things as "sanctify every form of public sexual (mis)conduct, or strives for wholesomeness, or even patriotism, is punishable." (Good luck with that one, it wasn't liberals defending Roy Moore), and all of whom support abortion, think Soviet spies and cop killers are martyrs, think schools are equivalent to churches, and all think "mankind is an inconsequential accident"

The simple fact is, unless you have evidence to support the rhetoric you've spouted, all you've done is constructed a fantasy liberal to argue against.

Perhaps not all, but many millions indeed (as my lead-off in the OP says - "they do have millions of adherents who practice their PC "religion"). I've seen their posts, the articles about their intense dislike for America, their defense and promotion of abortion and sexual deviancy, their adherence to Darwinism instead of God as Creator, etc., etc. And it gets worse every year. Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes a new abomination from the left.

She still doesn't get to control the messaging from both sides of the dialogue, no matter how many liberals she's been face to face with.

I wonder if you've ever seen this liberal air his thoughts about left wing censorship on college campuses.



We get it, Logicman...we really do.
You NEED those FAILED liberals on the college campuses who haven't learned that liberalism really consists of having an open mind.
You need them because they don't have an open mind, anymore than you do.
But get this, liberals know who their failed children are...you think they represent the liberal ideal.
One thing's for sure, the lack of an open mind isn't liberalism because there is nothing "liberal" about being closed off.
Those dumb kids are exercising a kind of "inner fascist" which takes the easy way out, and that's what people with closed minds do.

You're just playing along with the game because people with closed minds recognize other closed minds all too easily.
After all, it doesn't matter which team they're playing for...a defensive end knows another end when he sees one on the field and a quarterback knows another quarterback.

That's not evidence. You're taking disparate posts from disparate individuals, who probably only number in the dozens, and assuming their all linked and all those people share exactly the same beliefs, and assuming their numbers to be millions. That's a straw man.

Balderdash. I'm supposed to have an open mind to embrace unbiblical lifestyles, killing the innocent unborn, and violence against conservatives, etc.? Forget it.

Nope. I've seen enough of this godless liberalism since the 60's to know its real. They're a scourge to America.

Still no evidence that your fantasy actually reflects one liberal, let alone millions. It's a straw man.

As a liberal, I don't care if you don't embrace them, just stop trying to shove YOUR beliefs down MY throat, that's all.
That is WHY there are violent feelings toward such so called "conservatives".
It's always amusing when the attackers whine about their targets fighting back, and it's a common tactic.

As a liberal, you approve of gay sex/marriage? Where is that in your Bible?

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

As a liberal, you approve of gay sex/marriage? Where is that in your Bible?

Try and get this:
If two people decide they love each other and they get married, it is none of my damn business.
I could have fifty Bibles and it is still none of my damn business what they do.
I don't approve of gay marriage due to my liberalism, I approve of it because I agree that it is none of my business.
Their marriage has absolutely zero impact on my life or the lives of my children beyond what the impact of ANY marriage would have.

It's not "GAY marriage"....it's marriage. And as "marriage" it is just as likely to fail or succeed as any other marriage.
It all depends on the two people getting married.

 

[blarg]

As a liberal, you approve of gay sex/marriage? Where is that in your Bible?

“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

 

[Logicman]

It becomes your business when you vote for liberals who promote, defend and legislate the lifestyle. You are supporting those people who have legalized gay marriage. And you didn't take a stand against it.

Gay sex is an abomination in the Bible. Gay marriage is nothing more than institutionalized sin. Gay sex was one of the reasons why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by God.

So, if it's all about love then two adulterers in love must be okay too. Nope, not a chance.

For the record,

"Love does not rejoice in iniquity" - 1 Corinthians 13

And,

"Love does no harm to a neighbor" - Romans 13:10 (Love does no harm to a neighbor, like enticing one's neighbor into a sinful relationship for which there are negative temporal and eternal consequences)

So, nice try but no cigar.
