I’m all for the coinage of snazzy neologisms, and I have never been big on political correctness. But premising an argument for the intellectual superiority of conservatism on the contention that anybody not blinded by the right is perforce a ‘libtard’ seems to sink the underlying contention straight away. Yet such is the thesis of a

Ooh - they look nice. Wonder if the paper will tell us where to get them? It's an old one, but I've only just seen this Political Correctness Gone Mad panic story used as an example of something that's really happened that proves that Political Correctness has really gone stark staring bonkers and is ruining the fabric of this country as we know it. Gah! Batten down the hatches, chaps! The PC

Add this to the many reasons to turn your back once and for all on that benighted bunch of 'spiritual' nincompoops that is the CDA: Our minister of Justice thinks that addressing the many problems that Moroccan youth cause in our cities is speaking 'in much too high a tone'. THE HAGUE, 08/10/08 - The established political order appears slowly but surely to want to return to political correctness o...

Political correctness is an odd matter for us liberal democrats, the inherent contradictions contained within it seems to symbolize the strains between the right and the left of our party. However, we cannot simply continue to ignore the issue, for doing so is allowing the debate to be taken over by a reactionary right winged press, incapable of fully understanding the complex implications of this...

President Obama is in full "render-critique-beyond-the-pale" mode to mute the opposition. In the footage below we see Sean Hannity discussing it with Ann Coulter. It's actually far more sinister than we usually give it credit for. This is, because to date political correctness has been put to use on woolly issues on the periphery of rough-and-tumble politics. It has been an irritant - a bad o...

'Political correctness' was in itself a vehicle for his own prejudices. Actually, there wasn’t a better expression, that was the problem. Nicole didn’t think political correctness existed as an entity or a code or a system or anything else. It was a phrase that certain conservative elements had thought up because they needed a stick to beat back at the liberals with. It was a...

OK, so we think we're bad when it comes to political correctness - but take a look at Sweden. Apparently, an 8-year old boy who gave out invitations to his birthday party had them confiscated by the teacher because he had not invited the whole class. A member of the Swedish Liberal party said 'the staff acted correctly, in a model way'. A newspaper poll showed that 56% believed a child should

Watch this outstanding commentary on political correctness in academia and the culture and naked lies in the media called MSNBC & The Great Liberal Narrative: The Truth About The Tyranny of Political Correctness. And I know Bill and he is a really great guy, a true gentleman. But Bill... stop calling them liberal. We are the true liberals....
