No offence but.....I don't think there is anything wrong with being respectful and yes PC if that means being non racist, sexist, ageist, etc. Being gratuitously offensive should not form part of any reasoned and reasonable debate.

GBS is regarded as a bit more than an Irish Comic Dramatist in his native Ireland. We get the politicians we deserve if we don't engage in the political process and at least get out and vote. Stand for something or fall for everything!
