   'Because the politically correct believe they are not just   
   on the side of right, but of virtue, it follows that those they   
   are opposed to are not just wrong, but malign. In the PC   
   mind, the pursuit of virtue entitles them to curtail the   
   malign views of those they disagree with. Rather than say   
   I would like to hear your side, the politically correct insist:   
   'you can't say that'.   
   Believing that their opponents are not just wrong but   
   bad, the politically correct feel free to resort to personal   
   attacks on them. If there is no explicit bad motive, then the   
   PC can accuse their opponents of a sinister ulterior   
   motive-the unanswerable accusations of 'isms'. It is this   
   self-righteous sense of virtue that makes the PC believe   
   they are justified in suppressing freedom of speech.   
   Political correctness is the dictatorship of virtue.   
   The end result is that the politically correct build   
   impregnable castles around their beliefs, which means,   
   like royalty, never having to justify and never having to   
   apologise.'
