For the last six ty odd years, almost all of the
things I wanted to write or say, have been stymied by that modern
term referred to as ‘POLITICAL CORRECTNESS’.
Although I consider myself reasonably fluent in
English, that term was not in my vocabulary. Curiosity got the
better of me so 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 between then-President Harry Truman and Gen Douglas
MacArthur on the day before the actual signing of the WW2 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.
Tokyo, Japan - September 1, 1945 TO: President Harry S Truman FROM: General D MacArthur
Tomorrow we meet with those yellow-bellied bastards and sign the
Surrender Documents, any last minute instructions?
Washington, D C - September 1,
1945 TO : GeneralD 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!
Tokyo, Japan
- September 1, 1945 TO : H S
Truman FROM
MacArthur and
C H Nimitz
Both Chester and I are somewhat confused,
exactly what does the term politically correct mean?
Washington, D C -
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 THE TRUMAN MUSEUM AND
HARRY HIMSELF, YOU AND I FINALLY HAVE A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF
WHAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS’ REALLY MEANS.
