Non-PC statements that are harmless except to the snowflake liberals:
Illegal immigrant- It's dehumanizing. We don't slap the label "illegal" on other law-breakers
Merry Christmas- NO ONE FINDS THIS OFFENSIVE. Some of us prefer to say "Happy Holidays" to be more inclusive, but no one actually thinks Merry Christmas is offensive
Islamic terrorist- This one is intentionally divisive. As long as we accept that the act is terrorism, that should be enough. Do you want Dylan Roof labeled a Christian terrorist?
All lives matter - All Lives Matter exist ONLY as a rebuke of Black Lives Matter.
God bless America- It's a pretty crappy song (America the Beautiful is much, much better) but the phrase doesn't offend people
In God we trust - no one complains about this, but they could. Believing in the establishment clause of the first amendment isn't PC, it's American.
One nation, under God
Straight pride- Again, this exists only as a rebuke of gay pride. I'm straight, and I spend absolutely zero time thinking about my straightness.
Conservatives will be forced to frame Obama's terms in a much more positive light as they give up their obstructionism and let Trump get away with the same things they tried to crucify Obama for.
What obstuctionism? Oh you mean putting on a 3 day dog and pony show to make believe that they were representing their constituents and then caving to Obama giving him everything
I guess whatever makes you sleep well there Edward.....
So sick and tired of seeing, reading, hearing, overhearing, conversating and watching negative things about this election.
I'll take the stand and be the first one to say that I think its interesting to have such a different person in the Whitehouse. I think we could all benefit from this in some fashion or another.
America First!
Creation/retention of jobs
The death of the PC culture
America will be respected around the world again
Serious effort by our government to destroy Islamic terrorism
Border control
School Choice
It's against the TOS to put your comments inside someone elses quotes. Take the time to do it one by one if you feel that your "message" is so important.
Everything that you wrote is part of the reason the left didn't win. They are too scared to call a spade a spade and then come up with silly excuses as to why they can't. I don't care if illegals are offended by calling them what they are. I don't care if Islamic terrorists are offended by calling them what they are. I don't care if you think it's offensive that straight people can have pride too, and I really do not give one iota of a damn if you hate the fact that all lives matter.
I've never understood the argument against political correctness. Do you feel that you should be able to express regressive bigoted views without being called on it? Do you believe civility and decency are bad things?
I agree with this, I absolutely DO...
But at some point, there has to be an end game. Surely you can see how some people could abuse the system?
I could say someone is pretty.. seems simple enough, its nice and polite.. but eventually SOMEONE could take offense to that simple, innocent phrase.. Someone could call me a bigot for using that simple phrase... they don't see how THEIR LABEL is FAR WORSE than my label.
PC folks that abuse the system don't see the hypocrisy in calling someone a name for calling someone a name..
I find it offensive to use the word Racist.. i do. some folks no doubt fit the mold but IMO it is god awful to use that word.. But for some reason the word itself has not made it to the list of PC 'bad' words.. go figure but you know the irony is that one day it probably WILL and the PC folks don't even realize it! The joke is on them.
I've got a positive thing- it shows that one party can never stay in power for too long. Liberals were convinced republicans would never win the presidency again.
And now Republicans are convinced that Democrats will never win the presidency again; hence the numerous threads referencing same.

Did you see the townhall with Bernie? Yes, that is exactly what they want.

I can't wait to see how they do at actually governing. They are already caught flatfooted on Obamacare cause they got the 'repeal' part down but exactly NOTHING to 'replace'.
The party of NO and no ideas.

Excellent point.
