Traditionally, liberals were the rude type...it's kinda part of their description, to break up the old way of doing things.  But over the last decade or so, conservatives have found a way to be equally rude, if not more (Trump).

PC puts feelings over facts.  You can't speak with facts because it hurts my feelings.  How do you find a middle ground in that ?

This is how Political Correctness really works.  It stops rationality and common sense from happening and causes word play to be the new reality.

I agree and it is the reasonable people like us that get squeezed out from the loud, obnoxious zealots of both the left and the right.  I am afraid common sense and intellectual honesty are the real losers in all of this din.

That was a great article. Identity politics and political correctness is killing the West. Sweden and Canada are really far gone, perhaps beyond recovery. 

 
In the words of Ben Garrison:

TRUMP SLAYS THE DRAGON OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

 

One of the reasons for Trump’s popularity is he speaks from the heart and not a teleprompter. He doesn’t need a script and he’s not afraid to speak bluntly. Most of all, he’s not afraid of 'political correctness.' He’s not afraid to say “Merry Christmas” or call illegal immigration ‘illegal.’ He’s for respecting our laws, which includes closing down the currently wide open borders. For that he’s called a nut and a racist and a hater and all sorts of things. He doesn’t care.

 

For too long we’ve been subjected to cynical, pre-packaged political robots who are installed to further the agenda of globalists at the top. They buy out and own the politicians. Well, Trump can’t be bought out. He’s already rich. Lobbyists will not be able to control him. Personal scandals? He’s fearless. His life is already an open book. We know about his marriages and affairs and it doesn’t matter. Because instead of walking delicately on politically correct eggshells, he fearlessly stomps his feet and says “Enough!” He wants to stop exporting jobs overseas. He wants to stop making crappy deals such as the one Obama and Kerry just made with Iran—a deal that didn’t even return American captives. A deal that allows Iran to do their own inspecting. Deals where we give our leverage away for nothing while giving billions back to a country bent on hating America and destroying Israel. I doubt Trump would have made that deal.

 

Trump is used to dealing and getting things done. Telling blunt truths is apparently is not politically correct in either party, but so be it. Many Americans find Trump’s approach to be very refreshing—including me!—Ben Garrison

Political correctness is a creed, and the creed holds that American conservatives are ignorant, stupid, and evil. This has been the creed for a generation, but people are angry now because we see, for the first time, political correctness powering an administration and a federal bureaucracy the way a big V-8 powers a sports car. The Department of Justice contributes its opinion that the IRS was guilty of no crime — and has made other politically slanted decisions too; and those decisions all express the credo of thought-police liberalism, as captured by the motto soon to be mounted (we hear) above the main door at the White House, the IRS, and the DOJ: We know what's best; you shut up.

I would have changed my vote if he'd said, "You there, with the glasses. I want you. I want you right up front. THERE YOU GO! How does it feel?"
and I think Huntsman might've done just that.

The irony is rich with the orange one.  Paints himself as a renegade, but in reality just like the rest of them a vote for Trump is a vote for the status quo.

A very different (and very mainstream) story...

In 2002, Donald Trump Said He Supported Invading Iraq
“Are you for invading Iraq?” Howard Stern asked him, and Trump answered, “Yeah, I guess so.”
(...) In September, asked about his Iraq War opposition, Trump said this: “You can check it out, check out — I’ll give you 25 different stories.”

You can’t plan something like this…
At a Trump campaign rally in North Augusta, South Carolina on Tuesday, Donald Trump was interrupted by a protester who was screaming profanities and raising his middle finger to the crowd.

Two Trump supporters “took action” against the radical obscene protester – and Mr. Trump called them up to the stage to share a few words.

The crowd ERUPTED after one of the men told the audience he was an Iraq War veteran.

 

Both men thanked Donald Trump.
