It annoys me when people say that political correctness is always 'liberal'. For example, it's politically incorrect to say you are against the military, or against the death penalty. It's also politically incorrect to say you're anti-capitalism.

Tell a bunch of conservative Christians that you don't believe in Jesus Christ and you'll see political correctness.

Political Correctness should not be tolerated.

What about politeness and civility, taking the feelings of others into account. Is that tolerable?

I tell people all the time that I am against the death penalty and have never had anyone give me any grief about it. Some people like to debate me about it but that is hardly acting like I am being politically incorrect. But then again, I love a good debate and don't mind at all listening to other people's views.

The other two subjects? I suppose so. But it is a heck of a shorter list than the usual liberal meme.

It all depends. When PC is used to support lawlessness, deny freedom of speech, and used to deny a certain segment of our society (usually the majority) their rights then PC is totally wrong.

You have no idea what being Politically Correct actually is, as documented by your post.

"Political correctness" is just a term given to it. It was originally known as "caring about someone else's feelings and not just your own, and giving a damn about the influence you have on those around you."

No surprise we needed a name for it. But it is surprising that so many people have forgotten what it refers to.
