Free speech is anything but politically correct
Re: “Donald Trump’s disdain for political correctness”, Letters, March 9.
Political correctness (PC) is a legacy from the defunct communist USSR. Criticism of that totalitarian government was rewarded with life in the salt mines.
It was reintroduced by the New World Order globalists to stamp out freedom of expression such as we enjoy with our published letters to The Nation.
No person enjoys this freedom more than Eric Bahrt with his letters, which are often well spiced with insults. Bearing this in mind, it is startling to see Mr Bahrt announce his commitment to PC. His adoption of PC could perhaps be notice of his intention to abdicate his freedom of expression in the press.
Freedom of expression and PC are diametrically opposed, rather like fascism and democracy. Nothing has done greater harm to the vital democratic principle of freedom of expression than the imposition on society of political correctness. Trump and most sensible people who value their freedom want PC relegated to the trashcan.
While not facing time in the salt mines, people in the free world risk arrest for expressing themselves even when using perfectly acceptable English. Telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is no longer relevant if the truth is unacceptable to the politically correct paradigm.
