Good article by Greg Gutfeld. And to expand on his point, realize that the power of political correctness comes from self-censorship, that is, by making make people feel stupid or out of place when they speak up for what is contrary to the accepted script prepared for them by the thought police.

Gutfeld writes that "we need to be willing to face the mobs in the street and the mobs online." True, and I would like to add some other areas where we need to confront the cultural Marxists that are rotting out society. College students needs to standup to the indoctrinators standing in front of their classes in colleges; we need to speak out against the political correctness that is inhibiting the war against Islamic terrorism; our schools must be freed from the grip of the militant atheists that set their agenda.

Although I don't agree with everything you wrote -- e.g., I think that liberals tend to take the path of least resistance, not so much as they want to be cool--I do understand the analogy, and your article made me think, so thanks very much. Appreciate all the punches you're willing to take. br> -- J.T. Mastroserio /p> p> Hurrah for Greg Gutfeld's article "Looking Stupid." He shows how the attitudes that start with shrugging off anonymous attacks can turn, all too easily, into being "too cool" to fight back. America and the West needs to stop worrying about being "cool" and more about preparing to fight -- and fighting. br> --
