But no one ever seems to mention the fact that conservatives have their own form of political correctness which is just as ludicrous as that of left-wingers.

There are the usual conservative buzzwords, which those on the right endlessly repeat, and their quickness to take offense at any one who has the courage to point out the fact that these are just smokescreens for intolerance and self-righteousness.

You hear these terms every day in the news, in print, on television and the Internet: Rule of law, liberty, the right to bear arms, limited government, smaller government, lowering taxes, the evils of "government schools", moral relativism, the need to restore school prayer, to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts, restoring decency to America, cleaning up Hollywood and television, preserving religious freedom, America's Judeo-Christian heritage, strict observance of the Constitution, the Right to Life, the sanctity of life, standing up to the gay agenda, preserving life, protecting life, protecting marriage, respecting the Constitution, self-reliance, American Exceptionalism, patriotism, the dangers of socialism, redistribution of wealth, rugged individualism, God, mom, and apple pie.
