I read an interesting column the other day by Dennis Prager, conservative radio talk show host and columnist. In it, he set forth an interesting premise.... If I can find it again, I'll link it below.
Bottom line, the words Political Correctness (PC) are really a misnomer. Since almost all current Politically Incorrect words and deeds only offend one segment of our population, perhaps the term should be changed to it's more accurate acronym, OTL, or Offends The Left!
When you stop and think of all of those phrases and ideas that are deemed as not being Politically Correct, the pattern is obvious. The words 'In God we Trust', offends who? The Cross out in the middle of the desert memorializing veterans.... offends who?
A silent prayer in school, offends what group? The American Flag? The ROTC program? The National Anthem? Corporate profits? State's rights? The list is endless..... and they all lead to the same conclusion -- the only ones offended are the liberal elites!
So, who knows - maybe we could more clearly label PC by re-branding it.... OTL!!!
