>> For the last six odd years, almost all of the things I wanted to write or
>> say, have been stymied by a recently coined term referred to as "POLITICAL
>> CORRECTNESS"! Although I consider myself rather fluent in the English
>> language, that term was not in my vocabulary. My curiosity got the best of me
>> and I decided to do a little research and after two weeks of chasing
>> fruitless leads, I found what I'd been looking for at the Truman Library and
>> Museum in Independence Missouri. A unnamed source there sent me copies of four
>> telegrams that were between Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur on the day
>> before the actual signing of the Surrender Agreement. The contents of those
>> four telegrams below are exactly as received, 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!
>>
>> Now, with special thanks to my friends at the Truman Museum and Harry, you
>> and I finally have a full understanding of what "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"
>> really means!
