PC speech and thought control

To the editor:The First Amendment of our Constitution is not absolute, although leftists think they can say or do whatever they please with impunity. Gene Lyons comes to mind when his hate diatribes hail the top of the Southeast Missourian Perspectives page on Sundays. To the left, political correctness now prevails in America to their advantage, primarily to suppress any opposition to their failed and deadly Marxian ideology. Even this paper must submit to what I call PC Nazism, because not only the National Socialists utilized extreme PC methods, but also the Soviet Socialists and now, since they can never come up with new ideas of their own, the Democrat Socialists (Dazis) in America rely on them to seize and secure totalitarian power.

We see an abundance of this PC speech and thought-control Nazism in the leftist mainstream media propaganda machine, mindless and vulgar arts, alleged entertainment industry, and near saturation of our government indoctrination centers Karl Marx called "public schools," including institutions of higher propaganda, colleges and universities. These are some of the key players of the Western leftist crowd Vladimir Lenin aptly dubbed "useful idiots" because one must ascend to some level of usefulness for the socialist cause from the general bewildered herd. We've all heard of educated idiots, of which many can contribute to "the cause," but with the caveat that when their usefulness expires, they face liquidation. More succinctly, PC Nazism equates to cultural Marxism.
