What these phrases mean

Liberals and other politicos like to throw around a few phrases that confuse and confound those who hear them? Two of the most popular phrases used are social conscious and political correctness.
Liberals talk about social conscious which I suppose means concern and compassion for the poor and downtrodden. What this really means is to show concern for whatever group of people it is fashionable to show concern and compassion for.
Social conscious, from what I have seen of it, seems to mean a complete ignorance of the political, social, cultural, economic and historical realities of modern society. Especially if the writings of self proclaimed liberals with social conscious are studied.
For example liberals with social conscious are concerned about the homeless but they claim the homeless are middle class people who are the victims of economic circumstances. Even though all the evidence indicates that the vast majority of homeless people are alcoholics, drug addicts and the mentally ill.
Having compassion for these unfortunates and their plight is a wonderful thing. Lying about them and the cause of their plight is the height of cruelty. Unless of course the self proclaimed champions of social conscious don’t really care about the homeless. What they really care about is finding evidence to support their discredited and outdated economic theories.
If those with social conscious really cared about the homeless they would be demanding drug treatment and mental health care for the unfortunates roaming our streets. They don’t because they need to see the homeless to justify their idiotic economic beliefs. These people would rather have their friends and neighbors begging and eating from dumpsters than change their world view. Therefore having a social conscious means having no compassion, understanding or common sense.
Political Correctness which seems to have taken over our educational system and entertainment industry is a bit harder to describe. Political Correctness involves the suppression of any speech or expression of opinion that its purveyors find offensive. The idea behind this is that suppressing offensive speech will somehow eliminate prejudice and discrimination.
On our universities political correctness involves the suppression of study or even thought about history, philosophy and civilization. The politically correct systematically suppress most scholarship because it is based upon the teachings of dead white males and demand the study of other cultures.
Now the Politically Correct could be excused if their crusade was to add the study of non European civilizations to the curriculums. Say if they were demanding that a chair of Arabic or Mandarin or Chinese history be set up at the university.
Sadly that is not the goal the politically correct have no real interest in any civilization their own or foreign. Instead they merely want to portray all non white and non European peoples as victims and whites and Europeans as devils.
The multiculturalism they promote is based upon manufactured subjects such as Native American studies or Asian American studies. The Asian American being of course a fiction manufactured by the purveyors of political correctness. No effort is made to study Chinese history or the Arab language.
Indeed as Ibn Wariq has ably documented Edward Said and other leftists have sought to suppress and silence those academics who truly study and understand Arab or Islamic culture. The politically correct have built a cult around the hack and fraud called Edward Said while trying to destroy a real scholar Bernard Lewis.
The reason is obvious the beliefs of the politically correct are so narrow minded and simplistic that they can not stand up to any sort of scrutiny so the scrutiny must be prevented. The true scholar must be silenced for she might expose the fraud, the hack celebrated because he will always toe the party line. That is why college professors rush to the defense of an obvious fraud like Ward Churchill.
The true meaning of these phrases are obvious they show us how ignorant and stupid our so-called leaders really are.
