In a recent article carried in Canada Free Press, I labeled my essay "PC= BS". According to comments, readers agreed that political correctness, particularly as practiced by pols, has exceeded its shelf life and should be relegated to the rusty dumpster out back.
The controversy surrounding Ted Cruz' speech at the Republican National Convention prods me to revisit PC and pair it with the adage "there are always two sides (at least) to every story". Without a dog in the fight . . . I can't vote because I'm a Canadian citizen with legal permanent residency status in the US (legal meaning I didn't swim across a body of water to get freebies, including a sneaky vote) . . . I can be objective with this piece, even though I pay my taxes in the US.
