Not to be Politically Incorrect, but…

There’s this thing going around on Facebook.  Some guy posted a whole mess of his opinions under the heading: “I feel the need to drop a little truth on y’all. So buckle up…I’m about to be politically incorrect.”

You can read it if you want, I’ll wait.

Back? Yeah, I know, that took a while. But tell me, is there a single word in that post that is not politically correct to the nth degree? So why does the poster label it as ‘politically incorrect’?

While this irritates me on one level, it cheers me on another. It tells me that at least one person doesn’t want to be politically correct. Good! However, the answer is not to just call our politically correct opinions ‘politically incorrect.’  The answer is to actually challenge parts of the big list of politically approved opinions, when we feel they aren’t adequate, and to take the flack that comes with doing so.
