Conservatives make a "category error" about what it means to be a nation. As the economist Samuelson pointed out what is good for one company in an industry is not necessarily good for the industry or the country as a whole.
Certain speech, while upholding a "freedom of speech" standard which is good for one group of people in the United States is not good for another group of people and, therefore, is not good for us as a nation. Just about every quibble conservatives have about political correctness constitutes an error about what is good for the nation.
