Political Correctness was created by the Right (none / 0)

I can't believe that people still say with a straight face that "political correctness" was created by the "left". &nbs p; Political correctness was created by the right several hundred years ago.  For a couple of historical examples, the right-wing Christian Puritans were the creators of political correctness in this continent and the book "The Wealth of Nations" is a book of political correctness.  For an example from today, the right-wing's "war on terrorism" is completely a war of political correctness, and anyone who opposes the phony war on terrorism is not being politically correct. 

There are ten issues of political correctness on the right for every issue of political correctness on the left.

Thanks for proving my point (none / 0)
Like the "Healthy Forests Act" or the "PATRIOT Act", conservatives use the phrase "political correctness" to mean the opposite of what the words say.  To call the fight against the human abomination of slavery a fight for "political correctness" proves my point that it is the conservatives who invented the phrase "political correctness" in its current form as a shield against their moral corruptness. Every time a conservative is exposed for being morally corrupt they say that the criticism is merely "political correctness" and thus, just as they did with slavery, they say don't pay attention to the issues or the criticism, just know that God is on their side and they are supported by the Bible.
