The Free Congress Commentary
The Tyranny of Political Correctness
by: William S. Lind
America today is increasingly a conquered nation. What has conquered us?
An ideology --specifically, the hideous ideology known as Political
Correctness, which is really Marxism translated from economic into
cultural terms.
What is ideology? In philosopher's terms, it is a "construct": a system
of ideas, derived from one or another theory, that purports to explain
reality. In fact, reality is inevitably more complex than the theory
can explain, with the result that reality and theory clash.
Here is where the difficulty arises. In science, when reality and
theory clash, the theory is revised. But in politics, such revision is
considered heresy by the ideologues (In Marxism, "revisionist" was a
nasty insult). In their view, the theory is incapable of error.
Therefore, reality must be denied, and suppressed. Anyone who
recognizes it must be silenced, and punished. The result, as we have
seen in Germany, in Russia and elsewhere, is the end of freedom and the
growth of tyranny.
In terms of the clash between theory and reality, Political Correctness
is an extreme ideology, because it is an ideology of total inversion.
Beliefs and social relationships are not merely changed, but turned
upside down. The old sins, such as sex outside marriage, become
virtues, while the old virtues, such as disapproval of homosexuality,
become sins. Women are elevated over men, some (not all) racial
minorities over whites, the sexually deviant over the sexually normal,
the young over the old. Art is intended alienate, not to beautify.
Paganism is preferred over Christianity.
The more violently an ideology conflicts with reality, the more
tyrannical it must become. The tyranny of Political Correctness is
already seen on many a college campus, where any professor or student
who dares question, finds himself in serious trouble. Any public figure
who contradicts its dictates must offer a groveling apology or be cast
into outer darkness, exiled from the public square.
Why can't more Americans see what is happening? In part, because of the
way Political Correctness operates, through psychological conditioning.
In part, because it is happening without mobs of workers in the streets
carrying hammers and sickles or troops of goose-stepping Brownshirts.
In large part, Americans cannot see it because they know "it can't
happen here." Only it is happening here.
The great question confronting Americans as the 21st century opens is
whether we will have to go through the full totalitarian experience, as
Germany and Russia did. The form, of course, will be different, but the
reality is always the same: thought control, with dissenters facing
prison or worse. That is, in the end, what so-called "hate-crimes" are
about: the criminalizing of political thoughts that dare defy Political
Correctness. Sad to say, Ronald Reagan was wrong; it's not morning in
America. It is twilight, and the night may be a long one.
Bill Lind is director of the Free Congress Foundation's Center for
Cultural Conservatism.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT SOURCE: Paul Weyrich, the President of Free
Congress Foundation and longtime political activist, declared that Grass
Roots activists should apply techniques successfully used by their
adversaries. "Be tough, Be respectfully militant. You must make it crystal
clear that you will settle for nothing less than what is rightfully yours.
Congress does not respond to reason, truth, fact or science. They only react
to those who will potentially cause them a problem. Be their worst
nightmare, make them have dreams about what you say. Make them beg for
mercy!"
Join Lisa Dean and Paul Weyrich Friday nights at 7 pm Eastern as they
continue the tradition of exposing the people that threaten your liberty.

NEW INFORMATION: Weyrich founded NET: The Political Newstalk Network in 1993
to provide conservative programming as an alternative to the mainstream
press. In late 1997 Weyrich was asked to resign from overseeing the network
he founded, prior to the network's relaunch as America's Voice. As of
December 31, 1998 the Free Congress Foundation ceased airing programs on the
America's Voice Network, and Weyrich has since resigned from the network's
board of directors. The Free Congress Foundation is no longer involved in
any way with the operations of America's Voice.
More information on where to find Free Congress Foundation programming
may be found at www.freecongress.org or by contacting Joseph Starrs, Vice
President for Broadcasting, at (202) 546-3000. Programming may be viewed on
www.broadcast.com.
Local television stations can pick up all of these programs from the Free
Congress Foundation or just one or any combination at no charge and run them
when they wish. In exchange, they will be given half of the show's commercial
time to sell on their own. The other half will be sold by The Brothers
Group, and the revenue will be split between the syndicator and Free
Congress. Here is where you come in. Organize your friends in the area to
create a demand for these shows and try to get a local station to run them.
Independent stations, or stations which are not affiliated with the four
major networks, are most likely to want to carry these shows, but the others
are free to do so as well. So don't give up on any of them, especially if you
know that the general manager or program director might be someone who is
sympathetic to our cause. If you would like to receive a brochure of our
barter agreement to take directly to your local station, please email the
Free Congress Foundation your street address and they will get the brochure
in the mail to you. You will want to get your local station in touch with
The Brothers Group, at (561) 692-7878. They will take it from there.
