The ongoing mantra of political correctness trumpets the value of all sorts of liberal elitist gobbledegook. I was looked for the ultimate short list to see if it could be condensed down to a principle by which one could discern what was and what was not politically correct.
It's time, long since time, to go back to teaching fundamentals, especially the fundamentals of Western civilization and the rise of freedom. If we fail to do that then we will fall back into the darkness and tyranny of what Adlai Stevenson called the man on horseback. SEE HERE Oddly enough I remember that speech. I was only twelve. It must have been on television, perhaps only an excerpt. In the intervening time we have forgotten our heritage and we've contrived to sell it for a bowl of pottage, the political correctness pottage of a smorgasbord of cultures, most of which do not value freedom in the same way we do. One need only look around at the chaos in the world to see that a beacon of freedom is needed very badly. If we shutter our lamp, if the flame goes out, then I fear darkness is descending and one doesn't know how long before freedom will once more rise.
