  ....
What is meant by the modern term referred to as POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
The definition is found in 4 telegrams at the Truman Library and Museum
in Independence, Missouri. The following are copies of four telegrams between
President Harry Truman and Gen Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual
signing of the WWII Surrender Agreement in September 1945..  The contents of
those four telegrams below are exactly as received at the end of the war - not a
word has been added or deleted!







 
(1) Tokyo,Japan
0800-September 1,1945
To: President Harry S Truman 
From: General D A MacArthur
     Tomorrow we meet with those yellow-bellied bastards and sign the Surrender
Documents, any last minute instructions?
 
(2) Washington, D C
1300-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur
From: H S Truman 
     Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down your obvious dislike
of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the surrender with the press, because
some of your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct!
 
(3) Tokyo, Japan 
1630-September 1, 1945
To: H S Truman
From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz
     Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what does
the term politically correct mean?
 
(4) Washington, D C
2120-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz
From: H S Truman
     Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of crap by the clean end!












Now, with special thanks to the Truman Museum and Harry himself, you and I finally have a full
understanding of what POLITICAL CORRECTNESS really means.....
