Any non-religious quotes about political correctness?

OK, first off, I'm agnostic atheist (but fully atheist about the Judeo-Christian deity). Not sure I'd commit to any political label, but the closest would be moderate, varying depending on the issue, with some social libertarian leanings.

Most of the quotes I find about political correctness come from theocrat God and country types, and I do not find credible.

To me, political correctness is why

*racism is bad.....unless it's about white people.

*sexism is atrocious.....unless it's against men.

*war and corporate welfare are horrible.....unless a Democrat is behind it.

*we should fight gun violence with overly strict gun control.....while releasing violent criminals constantly.

*free speech is highly valued.....unless you disagree with popular 'progressive' opinion.

*many use false slogans such as "they do jobs we will not", ignoring that many of us WOULD do those jobs, but just not for peanuts.

*if you disagree with forced government charity, you are heartless and do not care about the poor.

BUT, 'political correctness' has not a THING to do with not believing the Bible. "Religion" is simply politically correct speak for cult.

Any good secular quotes on this topic? Any libertarian minded atheists here have any good quotes?

Update:

@gum control: nice. 8 of 10 maybe? lol. only thing is i have a billion and a half about atheism. i just wanted one really good one about political correctness that at least half adequately defined AND denounced it as groupthink.

Update 2:

@Grace: thanks for the answer, but as far as playing the odds, there are tons of religions worldwide besides Christianity and it is impossible to do right by them all, as some of them contradict each other. as an atheist, I do not see Christian belief as more special, but anyway, that's getting off topic.

    Holy cañole My view towards a god existence matches your completely. deistic toward the idea of a god, atheistic towards religion.

    Anyway there's no actual quotes, But I'll do my best to come up with my own, so here it goes: "Political correctness is needed for a good society, as sugar is to a diet".

    Hi there i believe these are some beautiful just right ones. Battle membership ''If i had a tumor i known as it marla'' ''only after catastrophe will we be resurrected'' ''hi there, you created me. I did not create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel higher. Take some responsibility!'' Cowboy bebop ''hunger is the best spice they say'' '' i'm Jet Black, 36 years ancient. I am often informed i do not appear 36, but you shouldn't choose men and women headquartered on appearances... Or on how a lot hair they've. That is my Favo:)! "the whole lot has a establishing and an finish. Existence is only a cycle of starts and stops. There are ends we don't desire, however they're inevitable, we have got to face them. It is what being human is all about.'' Ah what the heck another :P this one is pleasant to. ''Spike Spiegel: seem at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a false because I lost it in an accident. Due to the fact then, i've been seeing the earlier in one eye and the present in the other. So, I notion I might simplest see patches of reality, never the entire picture. I felt like I was once watching a dream I could in no way get up from. Earlier than I knew it, the dream used to be over.'' Hope you liked them. Nice of good fortune, Dylan

    Not sure many can address your question. I don't know about political correctness .. but I have volumes on political direction.

    The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.

    No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.

    It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

    The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

    Most bad government has grown out of too much government.

    The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.

    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

    Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

    I am not an atheist or a libertarian (conservative Christian Republican) but I do know that political correctness is a divisive tool of the left. It works by the fact that granting some groups special dispensations to use words that other groups are punished for using creates a vicious cycle of inequality in society.

    The N word is a perfect example. Until black people either quit using it themselves or society stops reacting when whites use it, (because that IS how to deal with a bully) the N word will always have power that it shouldn't inherently have.

    Just my thoughts.

    Actually, I am impressed with your list.

    Don't think I can do better!

    I am upset when minorities who obviously have some white ancestors attack white people because of that they think the white person's ancestors did.

    I do choose to believe. I play the odds! rather believe and die and be wrong than not believe and die and be wrong!

    However, my beliefs do not mean that I have to be stupid or that I am better than anyone else.
