I know I’ve become appallingly predictable, linking to everything Andrew Klavan writes, but I swear, I can’t help this one.

The left has somehow succeeded in convincing the rest of us that there is virtue in a culture of lies, that some truths should not be spoken and that if you speak them you are guilty of racism or sexism or some other kind of bigotry. Right-wingers may disagree philosophically with this sort of political correctness, but I think they may have incorporated some of its twisted values psychologically and walk in fear of seeming “offensive” or “insensitive.”
The Bible has harsh words about those who call good evil, and evil good. I believe that this error, at its extreme, is the sin against the Holy Spirit.
