As a card carrying member of the ACLU, I can definitely tell you that PCdom has nothing to do with the first amendment. You don't like people not liking you saying certain things? You CAN still say them, and there's absolutely no penalty, it's just frowned upon by certain people. I really don't get why that's so damn hard to grasp.

Glad to see that others are FED UP with this oversensitive nonsense. Great commentary.

I agree with KH. I don't see how political correctness is limiting your free speech. Are the police knocking at your door with a warrant for your arrest for saying something un-PC? No.

While I do agree that some PC terms have been taken to a ridiculous level, the premise of PC is sensitivity towards others. It seems that most people who whine about PC are the ones who have nothing to be offended over. The whole article reeks of "Woe is me. I can't call minorities racial slurs anymore because it's un-PC. Boo hoo hoo."

Policital correctness has noting to do with free speech. The right of free speech defends citizens against persecution from the government for their words. The government doesn't enforce political correctness. Personally I don't think saying "Happy Holidays" is a bad thing. What you may see as political correctness I see as respect to people who don't celebrate Christmas. With that said I don't think it is offensive to say "Merry Christmas" either and I doubt it is a real issue with most people regardless of your preferred holiday slogan.

This article is rubbish and not even true. Go ahead and call people slurs and whatever you want--that's protected by the 1st Amendment. But don't be offended I call you less than kind things back--I'll be enforcing my rights too. The point of PC is not offending people. You can still offend them if you want, but be aware that people don't appreciate it and don't expect them to extend you the same pleasure.
