Once upon a time, when America was booming with freedom, there also existed a correlating abundance of intelligence. We had pioneers like David Crockett who dared to say, “Be always sure you are right then Go, ahead.” Such sayings have now been replaced by, “Be always sure you’re politically correct, then go ahead.” How did that happen and what’s the difference between being right versus politically correct?
For starters, when America began, there was a different type of educational system. Many were home schooled during that era, with far less government intervention. Those who weren’t taught by their parents attended small one-room schoolhouses. That was education before the National Education Association became the nation’s largest, most powerful union and when things like Socialism, Communism, and Marxism were far away.
To think education is a reflection of intelligence is a mistake. The only education without indoctrination is the kind that comes without any strings attached. The longer an individual has been run through the industrialized brain wash system, the more likely political correctness has replaced critical thinking. Non-politically correct students, who dare to rebel with questions like, “If that’s so, then how come…?” or “How did life begin?”, often times do not remain in institutions of higher learning simply because they cannot tolerate wasting anymore of their life under such an arrogant regime.
National and international media, like television and newspapers, are politically controlled. Government desperately wants to control internet usage. There are too many independent thinkers allowed to use the internet that might disrupt the flow of what’s politically correct. Those who want to play along with the political game hate those who don’t. It’s no surprise that Christians are increasingly hated by others.
Independent thinkers know what’s really behind being politically correct.
To be politically correct means you correct your thinking to match what’s most convenient rather than caring more about seeking after the truth and doing what is right.
Those who helped Hitler exterminate Jews thought they were being politically correct. Ask an elderly Jew his opinion on whether or not those who killed the Jews were doing what was right.
Political correctness is based on relative truth; not absolute truth. There is no eternally consistent right or wrong with political correctness. It’s always mutating its rules and eroding freedom, while looking like it’s something liberating and healthy for society. It’s attractive to cowards. PC people don’t fear standing up for their convictions. They feel safe knowing that the masses share their same condition. It takes real courage to stand up for what is right, especially when you know that it’s not what’s popular.
Intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment.
It’s not very intelligent to think that you’re manipulating your environment when, in realty, you don’t even realize that you’ve been the one who was manipulated a long time ago.
If you don’t agree, bravely read Political Correctness: The Scourge of Our Times by Agustin Blazquez with the collaboration of Jaums Sutton. They explain how it began and what its purpose is.
Due to the popular cult of political correctness, many are persecuted simply because they dare to rebel by questioning why the topic of Intelligent Design (not to be confused with Creationism) is not permitted public attention. Ben Stein reports on some of these rebels in his thought-provoking documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.¹
When what’s politically correct is more important than the Golden Rule as said in Luke 6:31,
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
…not only is no intelligence allowed, love is also not allowed.
