Politically Incorrect - The Book of Opinions (Paperback)


"Politically Incorrect" is a provocative treatise dedicated to those brave enough to stand their ground against the prevailing social view, even in face of prejudice and scorn. The reader will find that this book is not about debating the validity of diverging opinions on trendy subjects. It is not about justifying one standpoint over another. It is instead a book about exemplifying ideological consistency, even when it happens at the expense of adhering to the perceived orthodoxy, and doing it without trampling over another's opinions. In addition, you will find within an anthology of frank and controversial opinions on a series of much debated subjects, collected from online posts, blogs, social networks and forums to exemplify what it is to stand for a politically controversial ideal, consistently but without animosity. The important issue is: even if we agree to disagree, it is a healthy practice to at least afford someone the dignity of sustaining their opinion. Yet, as a society, we have been neglecting this central democratic principle more and more. If you also feel that the "politically correct" appears more often as "political" than truthfully "correct," then you may find resonance to your thoughts in these pages. Yet be warned: you proceed at your own peril, for the opinions expressed within are unrated and uncensored. Don't expect to find echo to your own opinions and don't expect to read opinions that are congruent to the mainstream, media approved, orthodoxy.
