Examples Of How Political Correctness Is Destroying America

If you say the "wrong thing" in America today, you could be penalized, fired or even taken to court.  Political correctness is running rampant, and it is absolutely destroying this nation.  In his novel 1984, George Orwell imagined a future world where speech was greatly restricted.  He called that the language that the totalitarian state in his novel created "Newspeak," and it bears a striking resemblance to the political correctness that we see in America right now.  According to Wikipedia, Newspeak is "a reduced language created by the totalitarian state as a tool to limit free thought, and concepts that pose a threat to the regime such as freedom, self-expression, individuality, peace, etc. Any form of thought alternative to the party's construct is classified as 'thought crime.'"  Yes, people are not usually being hauled off to prison for what they are saying just yet, but we are heading down that path.  Every single day, the mainstream media in the United States bombards us with subtle messages about what we should believe and what "appropriate speech" consists of.  Most of the time, most Americans quietly fall in line with this unwritten speech code.  In fact, most of the time we enforce this unwritten speech code among each other.  Those that would dare to buck the system are finding out that the consequences can be rather severe.  The following are 19 shocking examples of how political correctness is destroying America…

#1 The Missouri State Fair has permanently banned a rodeo clown from performing just because he wore an Obama mask, and now all of the other rodeo clowns are being required to take "sensitivity training"…

But the state commission went further, saying it will require that before the Rodeo Cowboy Association can take part in any future state fair, "they must provide evidence to the director of the Missouri State Fair that they have proof that all officials and subcontractors of the MRCA have successfully participated in sensitivity training."

#2 Government workers in Seattle have been told that they should no longer use the words "citizen" and "brown bag" because they are potentially offensive.
