Conservative's Favorite Politically Correct Phrases
Maxwell Silver

We often see the word, "Political Correctness," used an insult by some to mean purposefully ambiguous, or as part of the idea of, "Word policing." Those on the Left are often accused of being "Too politically correct," by preferring to use words to avoid offense. Phrases such as; "Poc," instead of, "Blacks, Mexicans, and Asians," or; "Disabled," instead of, "Crippled." Apparently calling people what they prefer to be called makes you a spineless, Politically correct Liberal, instead of what we'd call, "A decent human being." The idea of being politically correct is that you should feel a societal shame for using non-approved words, which are often tied into people own personal ideologies. The truth is, political correctness exists on both sides of the spectrum, even if Conservatives don't like to point out their own use of it in their crusade against PC culture.

So let's look at a few examples of Political Correctness on the Conservative Side:

1. "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques," as opposed to, "torture." Which is to say, "Of course I need to waterboard him until his heart stops, how else am I going to crack this middle-Easter goat herder?"

2. "Clean coal," because nothing burns cleaner than a solid rock of Carbon.

3. "Pro-Life," instead of anti-abortion; which is strange considering they forget their pro-life status as soon as the baby is born into a home that cannot support it, where it then becomes a "tax burden."

4. "Family values," because "gay bashing" is sooo 1950's.

5. "Socialist," which is often used as a catchall for, "anything the government does." Apparently, roads and public utilities would count as socialism, making Augustus Caesar one of the biggest socialist of all-time.

6. "Marxist." Used as a scarier term for Socialist, though still having less to do with either actual socialism or Marxism. See: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton as examples of, "Marxist Commie bastards."

7. "Thug;" Conservatives are still really mad they can't say the "N-word."

8. "Global Warming Skeptic," instead of, "Global Warming Denier." Because "I don't know guys, who's really to say that a global increase in temperature is caused by humans. " isn't being in denial when your state is underwater.

9. "Fiscally Conservative," which means, "taxes are bad, but of course we need to spend half our budget on out military," and yet still end up increasing the national debt by 200%.

10. "Forced Association," because multiculturalism and other people scare me.

11. "Free speech zones." Yeah, you can have your free speech, just stand over in that square there and try not to make too much noise, thanks.

12. "Affluenza," which is much more acceptable than poor-fluenza.

These make up a small part of the myriad of Conservative Politically correct phrases that make up the right. It's so PC to be anti-PC, so maybe everyone should just calm down a bit and recognize the humor in their own hypocrisy. The idea that we should use certain words instead of others kind of defeats the purpose of the First Amendment. I firmly believe you have the right to voice whatever stupid opinion you have, and I reserve the right to tell you exactly how stupid your opinion is. At the end of the day, the words you say have an effect on other people, you have to decide whether the words you use express what you think.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
