AlamoPA Mailing List: Political Correctness

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

PRICELESS......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…..

  Someone found this definition 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 shit by the clean end!
