Political Correctness

[JohnP]

I was going to put this in the humor section but the more I thought of it the more I thought it's not humorous at all. 


For  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. An  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!
