. . . the use of PC jargon aids and abets the Left's tendency to inject politics into everything. The Left is totalitarian by its very nature and so it cannot leave any sphere of human concern unpoliticized. For a conservative to employ PC jargon is therefore very foolish.

Battles in the culture war are often fought and won on linguistic ground, and we conservatives should not acquiesce in the Left's acts of linguistic vandalism.
