is (as self-censorship that comes as a result of intimidation or social pressures) a serious obstacle to the proper functioning of democracy on the grounds that it is important to hear the views of all persons,including the 'silent majority', and to give heed to the weaker voices.

Self-censorship as a result of intimidation or social pressures, sometimes referred to as 'political correctness', constitutes a serious obstacle to the proper functioning of democracy. It is important to hear the views of all persons,including the 'silent majority', and to give heed to the weaker voices. Alfred-Maurice de Zayas

is a bullying tactic perpetrated by the left (the greatest purveyor of bullying in modern American history) whereby the race, class, or sexism card is used to demonize the opposition and create a climate of fear that forces ordinary Americans to abandon their principles, back abhorrent causes, or simply remain silent.

Heritage Foundation: A book eventWhile the Left likes to pretend that they oppose bullying with all their heart and soul, Ben Shapiro, editor-at-large of Breitbart.com, argues that in reality the Left is the greatest purveyor of bullying in modern American history. Bullying has morphed into the go-to tactic used to quash opponents through fear, threat of force, violence, and rhetorical intimidation on every major issue facing our nation. Whether playing the race card, the class card, or the sexism card, any and every means is invoked to demonize the opposition. By creating a climate of fear, ordinary Americans are forced to abandon their principles, back abhorrent causes, or simply remain silent. In Bullies, Shapiro examines the hypocrisy of the Left and shows that no target is off limits in the campaign to shut down political debate in the name of political correctness.

is a concept invented by hard-rightwing forces to defend their right to be racist, to treat women in a degrading way and to be truly vile about gay people.

Political correctness is a concept invented by hard-rightwing forces to defend their right to be racist, to treat women in a degrading way and to be truly vile about gay people. They invent this idea of people who are politically correct, with a rigid, monstrous attitude to life so they can attack. But we have all had to learn to modify our language. That's all part of being a decent human being. Clare Short

is a conservative mythology which declares that conservatives are the victims of a prevailing leftist ideology in American universities, oppressed by radical students and faculty determined to brainwash them.

is a cult that dictates that we never point out that other people don't make sense.

It's getting funnier because everybody's categories are disintegrating, and the cult of political correctness dictates that we never point out that other people don't make sense. Terence McKenna

is a desperate reaction. Its proponents know they cannot solve the real problem of actual social relationships with the other so they escape into controlling how we speak about it.

What I'm afraid, now coming back to your question, with political correctness is that it's a desperate reaction. They know they cannot solve the real problem so they escaped into controlling how we speak about it. And by real problem I don't to mean in a primitive way just economic redistribution and so on, but even the symbolic fact of actual social relationship and so on.

is a form of both madness and maggotry that has a stranglehold on academia, on feminism, and on the media.

Political correctness has a stranglehold on academia, on feminism, and on the media. It is a form of both madness and maggotry, and has already silenced the voices of writers like James Dicky across the land. Pat Conroy

is a heritage of communism (and not in a good way) in that it is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others.

Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don't seem to see this. - Doris Lessing
