“Political Correctness” explained.
\nBy Andy Larson<\/p>\n
This is Priceless!\u00a0 Note reference to the “Mainstream Media”…72 years ago.
\nWhat is meant by the modern term referred to as “POLITICAL
\nCORRECTNESS”. The definition is found in four telegrams at the Truman Library
\nand Museum in Independence, Missouri.<\/p>\n
The following are copies of four telegrams between President Harry Truman
\nand General Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual signing of the
\nWWII Surrender Agreement in September 1945.<\/p>\n
The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received at the
\nend of the war – not a word has been added or deleted!<\/p>\n
(1) Tokyo, Japan\u00a0 0800-September 1, 1945<\/p>\n
To: President Harry S Truman
\nFrom: General D A MacArthur
\nTomorrow we meet with those yellow-bellied bastards and sign the Surrender
\nDocuments, any last minute instructions?<\/p>\n
(2) Washington, D C\u00a0 1300-September 1, 1945<\/p>\n
To: D A MacArthur
\nFrom: H S Truman
\nCongratulations, job well done, but you must tone down
\nyour obvious dislike of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the
\nsurrender with the press, because some of your remarks are fundamentally
\nnot politically correct!<\/p>\n
(3) Tokyo, Japan\u00a0 1630-September 1, 1945<\/p>\n
To: H S Truman
\nFrom: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz
\nWilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what does
\nthe term politically correct mean?<\/p>\n
(4) Washington, D C 2120-September 1, 1945
\nTo: D A MacArthur\/C H Nimitz
\nFrom: H S Truman
\nPolitical Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional,
\nillogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds
\nforth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of
\nshit by the clean end!<\/p>\n
Now, with special thanks to the Truman Museum and Harry himself, you and I
\nfinally have a full understanding of what ‘POLITICAL CORRECTNESS’ really
\nmeans\u2026..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
