'conservative correctness' vs. 'political correctness'
http://www.liberaloasis.com/

I found this interesting, even that he speaks well of Michelle Malkin.

Particularly the conclusion:

"In any event, "Conservative Correctness" should be called out for what it is. Mischief making.

For whatever excesses have occurred under the umbrella of "P.C.," at least the intentions were generally honorable -- mainly, trying to rid society of debilitating bigotry.

"Conservative Correctness" is not well intentioned. It's simply just about intimidating people who disagree with you.

And it will not end with this episode.

John Edwards should not think he can stave it off by whacking his bloggers. Other candidates should not think they can avoid it by watching their words and vetting their staffs.

Because C.C. is not guided by principle. It does not wait for an actual transgression. It is happy to selectively quote, distort and manufacture outrage."

I am not sure if ignoring it is an effective strategy. I think what needs to be done is call the practioners on their selective quotations, distortions and manufactured outrage so that they lose credibility in the eyes of most people.

1. And Half Of What Is Promoted By Them
Gets blamed on us by those of "them" that don't like it. And we allow it. Education is the way to fight back against such ignorance and is exactly why this administration is intent on destroying education and the news media.

3. Won't democrats ever learn
Who is Edwards...isn't he a democrat? Why is he trying to appease republicans. Democrats are the ones who will end up voting for him. Republicans practically always vote republican...maybe you might get a few to flip. But Edwards, as well as the rest of the democrats running for president better learn right now, that we are the ones they should look too, we are the ones they should interest. Republicans won't change and they only foster hate.

4. Edwards anti-poverty platform
should appeal to Catholic voters, who might be voting Democrat if it was not for the abortion issue.
