Talk:Politically correct

Hmmm. One hears so much about the "mainstream" these days. It would seem to me that, if conservatism is really based on unchanging, immutable principles, then a true conservative should not give a d*** about whether he is in the mainstream or not, and should not invoke the mainstream (besides, since some liberal views, such as the call for universal health care, are now supported by a vast majority, couldn't they then just as readily lay claim to the "mainstream" as well??

And, not for nothing, but a source wouldn't be uncalled for somewhere in there. Myk 11:11, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

Well there are a handful of sources now, but I can't write this thing by myself. Everwill 15:02, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Origins of the term

I remember seeing an old campus comic strip with "Political Correctnessman" as a caped superhero.

I also remember reading a European immigrant's writings about Nazi and Communist ideas of socially correct or ideologically correct ideas and language. It had more to do with content than wording, IIRC. --Ed Poor 12:32, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
