My Response

My response to advised politically correct euphemisms posted on Facebook: "Verbal sensitivity is important, but the Left uses political correctness and speech control to inflict upon society a lack of diversity in viewpoint, and to grow government power at the expense of individuals and citizens. Word choice is much less important to insist upon and punish than is the assessment of the speaker's ethical viewpoint and existential status: be she a conservative, an independent or a liberal, what matter is that she, as an individual, allows none but herself to control her speech, her behavior and her thinking. And the libertarian in her demands that each other member of society be offered the same broad access to and be empowered to express her individuality as she sees fit, without external restraint. The metric of liberated individualism is the only assessment of substance. Conforming to experts' demands for infringed, acceptable speech flies in the face of asserting individual liberty, and must be refuted as the coercive attack on individual expression that it actually is. see Ed Ramsey: philosophyfromaworkingman.blogspot.com."
