So, in the post-Election National party shuffle-around and line up, #14 Wayne Mapp has been appointed:
Labour & Industrial Relations
Political Correctness Eradication
Chair of Caucus Policy Committee
I kid you not. Actual Eradication. In Radio NZ interviews, he's gone on to advocate the removal of the Human Rights Commission, along with- predictably- the Waitangi Tribunal (I haven't listened to the interviews but I would not be much surprised if he also had a tizzy about Women's Affairs. @!@#$) Keith Ng has an awfully good column about liberalism and the National- liberalism in the ACT/USA sense, which is not always the way we use it in NZ. David Haywood was very funny in a satire that, unfortunately, is not all that far from the truth. Holly Walker has s short piece about the usefulness of the phrase "political correctness", Adam Gifford writes about PC and mainstream.

Lyndon Hood kind of summarised my thoughts on the issue, though:
Wayne Mapp: Opposition spokesman for Political Correctness Eradication.

W - as they say - TF?

Had National been elected, we would presumably be forming a Department (surely not a Ministry) of Political Correctness Eradication.

fuckers. To think I thought I wouldn't have any more use for this icon after the election.

So. Much. Hate.

Dear "mainstream" assfucks.

Here's the definition of "political correctness" as set down by Webster.

Main Entry: political correctness
Function: noun
: conformity to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities should be eliminated

Here's the defintion of "political correctness" as set down by Wordweb:

Avoidance of expressions or actions that can be perceived to exclude or marginalize or insult people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.

Gosh. You know what? You're so right. We should get rid of it. Then those damn faggots, koons, chinks, and retards will... stop oppressing me! Yes! That's it! (Urg I feel dirty just have written this. I will not even go to the n word, even for satire.)

*SEETHES*

Winston, I take it back. I love you. Thank you for not sucking Don off.

Why haven't they thrown Don out yet? Come on, he failed. STAB HIM IN THE BACK. DOOO EEET.

Where's Facelift when we need it? I'm so linking this.

*hiss spit* BASTARDS.

Mind you, it's quite nice to see DPF get smacked DOWM in his comments section (http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/archives/012313.html)- not that this doesn't happen often; several of his commentators tend to seem more intelligent and logical than he does on a way-too-regular basis. What's really nice, though, this time, is that he seems to be getting smacked by National Supporters. and people with usernames like "rightkiwi." It's a joy and a delight. (read at least the first half of the comments, there's a tonne of junk also but some really neat stuff in there too.)

Winston, I take it back. I love you. Thank you for not sucking Don off.
I never, never thought I'd think anything like this, but compared with Wayne Mapp? Winnie's like a breath of fresh air.

I'm hoping for Bill English... he was so nice and pathetic... mind you, if they keep talking like this, they're a shoo-in to lose the next election (surely, surely...) and hopefully will lose some of the credibility that way-too-long as one of the Two Big Parties has accorded both them and their recent radicalist rhetoric. But if they keep it up, people will start to call bullshit.
