Politically Correct – Not Politically Correct

Change the name. Rewrite history. Redefine politics.

Minnesota’s Left wants to replace our traditional self-understanding as the land of freedom and opportunity with a vision of America as an illegitimate nation that advanced by trampling on victim groups.

In George Orwell’s iconic dystopian novel, 1984, the main character, Winston Smith, works at the Ministry of Truth in Oceania, a one-Party socialist state in what was once the British Isles and the Americas. The ministry does not promote truth, but rewrites history to conform to Party doctrine in what authorities portray as never-ending war against shadowy enemies. To this end, pictured are torn down, statues destroyed, and inconvenient documents dropped down “memory holes” into huge incinerators.

Political Correctness & Changing Definitions

Words matter, or at least they used to. Political correctness is one of those terms so overused and ubiquitous that we all recognize it, but few have a definition for it.

Orwell warned us about a language without meaning and we’re rapidly approaching that time. Politics has and likely always will play closer to the edge of reality than anything we deal with, but it is a great case study nonetheless. Remember when we used to be liberals and conservatives? Well, the conservatives, in part, succeeded in giving the word liberal a negative connotation, so “liberals” renamed themselves “progressives,” because focus-group testing shows it has a much better connotation.

The Viking legacy is strong in Norway, with many fascinating artefacts, museums, tours, and living villages throughout the country.

What would have been the equivalent of today’s cutting edge technology a thousand years ago? The fast-moving Viking ships, perhaps? These advanced vessels helped build cultural coherence in Europe, and were crucial to unifying the Norse tribes into a state.

The Vikings put their mark on Northern Europe forever, and the many remnants of their culture can transform your holiday into an adventure.
Viking history and culture

The Viking Age began in the year of 793 with an attack on the Lindisfarne monastery in England, which is the first known Viking raid. The event that marks the end of their glory days is the slaying of King Harald Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066.
