The apology, that is constantly put forth for the injustice of government, viz., that a man must consent to give up some of his rights, in order to have his other rights protected – involves a palpable absurdity, both legally and politically.
You’re saying ‘will it become politically unpopular to have the position I’m having.’ If it does, so be it.
So many of the schools are just politically correct mirrors of each other. If you go to this school versus that school, you’re just going to get a different version of the same political correctness and liberal indoctrination.
I don’t like political poetry, and I don’t write it. If this question was pointing towards that, I think it is missing the point of the American tradition, which is always apolitical, even when the poetry comes out of politically active writers.

You can grow up without having to conform, stop going to shows, stop having a record collection, start being politically iffy.

‘Looney Tunes’ was not a children’s cartoon. I don’t care what anybody says. It was very politically charged, very racial. And then they tried to soften it up for kids later. But it was for the adults.
It annoys me when I phone a hotel receptionist in my own country, and they don’t understand what I am saying because they don’t speak English. I think that’s wrong. It’s nothing to do with being politically correct or incorrect; it’s just not right.

I have been politically victimized.

I am very moohphat and can never be diplomatic or politically correct.
The tradition that I come from has a great influence on Karnataka. Not just politically – it’s also my social and moral responsibility to draw citizens facing bad governance and lawlessness to a leadership that is capable of delivering good governance and development.
It seems no matter what you say and how politically correctly and carefully you say it, you offend someone. Or at least I always do.
I’m politically inclined towards the left, but I don’t like to be in anyone’s gang; I’m a bit of a loose cannon.

I’m a take-no-prisoners type of comic, and I’m lucky because my fans get me and never have a problem with the politically incorrect themes of my act. But I am continually amazed by how a certain section of our society seems to be so freakin’ sensitive about jokes.
For the European Union, Russia is as important politically and economically as China is to the U.S.
I do think, actually, one thing I noticed with Silicon Valley post-Trump is it kind of made them more politically aware, more aware that, like, business and philanthropy alone isn’t going to make the world a better place.
I’m not here to affect you politically or socially. I’m here to make you laugh. I use the news as the palette for my jokes.

The first thing that I really understood politically and was old enough to get was the failed assassination attempt on Reagan.
There’s a difference between being politically incorrect and boorish. And we’ve seen that line crossed a dozen times by smart people who’ve mistaken politics for punditry.
Several times I drew a critical cartoon and then, at the last moment, stopped myself from putting it out in print. I thought it would be misunderstood, be a politically incorrect thing to do.
Just because people think politically different to you doesn’t mean they’re inhuman.
If you’re going to counsel people – and that’s all my ministry is, it’s a counseling ministry more than anything else – people have to believe that they can trust you and that they can listen to you, that you’re going to try to help them and not just politically try to convert them to your views.
Today we stand on a bridge leading from the territorial state to the world community. Politically, we are still governed by the concept of the territorial state; economically and technically, we live under the auspices of worldwide communications and worldwide markets.
Prohibiting any words not approved of as ‘politically correct’ – that’s not progressive. Putting ‘trigger warnings’ on books, movies, music, anything that might offend people – that’s not progressive, either.
I think that people like Bloomberg, they’re complete thugs. No question about it. But on the other hand, it must be said that they are politically savvy. They don’t get into those positions of power – in the case of Bloomberg, both economic and political power – by being anybody’s fool.
Politically, of course, the U.S., despite the flaws in its systems, is still a democracy – we like to associate with democracies. And strategically, the U.S. is a counter-balance to China, a rising China that is not yet a democracy.
We can’t bankrupt Exxon. But we can politically and morally bankrupt them.
I’m an artist, and an artist doesn’t worry about being politically correct when I write.

My experience politically has always been that one-word definition of politics: money. Keep your eye on the buck. And that tells you where the American people are going to be.
I wasn’t raised to make history. In high school and family, no one around me was politically involved, and few of my friends planned to attend college or even thought about it.
There are people out there who disagree with me politically, and understand the limits of that disagreement. It doesn’t mean we disagree as people on basic human needs.
Politically active people felt more and more disenfranchised, particularly during the ultra-New Labour years.
No, I’m not politically correct. I never wanted to be, and I never will be.
According to me when former governors join the political mainstream, the whole cause propagated for autonomy of the institutions, itself gets impacted. When they dwell into statements which are politically loaded, rather than during their tenure as a governor, it is far easier to analyse those statements.
One can be a great poet and be politically stupid.
Politically speaking, Miami-Dade was once a Republican stronghold, thanks in large part to older Cuban voters who became more politically influential following the Bay of Pigs invasion. In contrast, Democrats used to rely on votes in North Florida and the Space Coast in an era of much softer partisanship.
In movies, we’ve run out of ideas for bad guys. We end up with politically incorrect villains, like Arab terrorists or Latin drug dealers or corrupt politicians. Well, aliens are the best film villains since the Nazis. You don’t have to worry about offending anyone.
In a democracy, you don’t need anyone’s permission to form a new political party, publish a politically charged article, or organize a ‘tea party.’ And in open markets, individuals are free to buy and invest as they see fit.
All attempts to appease the Nazis between 1934 and 1939 through various agreements and pacts were morally unacceptable and politically senseless, harmful and dangerous.
Spike Lee is one of my biggest influences. What I love about Spike, other than he’s just a fun guy to hang around, is that Spike is fearless. As much as people talk about him being politically outspoken, let’s not forget that he’s one of the best screenwriters, ever, in addition to being a visual master.
As an actor, you’re trained to do the right thing, be politically correct, say your lines, say the right thing about the people you’re working with.
I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large – especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others – nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men.
