The Newest Politically Incorrect Word

So we are now given yet another list of words that are offensive and politically incorrect. "American" being one of them. I can hear the intellectuals at college chime in with the objections to the word as being imperious, chauvinist, geographically arrogant, and so on. Well, I just have to wonder when we are going to pull up our bootstraps, cinch in our belts, and face these deletors of our dictionaries and let them know in no uncertain terms that we are no obeyors of their own secular imperialism of language. I think there is something that used to be known as 'freedom of speech'...may we not give it up or be propagandized into giving it up.
