What Is Political Correctness?

What is meant by the modern term referred to as ‘POLITICAL CORRECTNESS’.
The definition is found 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!

Although World War II has been one of the most influential and well-studied events of modern history, evidence of this purported telegraph exchange between Truman and MacArthur was virtually non-existent on the Internet prior to 2015. The description of political correctness attributed to Truman therein weren't spread in earnest until April 2015, although iterations of this item had been circulated a few weeks earlier.

By Internet standards, this quip about political correctness is nearly ancient. Versions of it dating to 2006 and 2007 are easily located, attributed at least twice to students of Texas A&M University. It surfaced again in a 2012 Townhall column that lauded it while also describing it as an "old Internet joke". Although the joke's origins may be murky, the anachronisms involved in attributing it to President Truman are obvious.

Yeah, you gotta be careful about this stuff. Neither wasted that much time or words in a telegram exchange. Both were quite eloquent, professional, and efficient in their communications. Unlike Johnson, Nixon, or certain more recent politicians.

Fuck Snopes! Snopes has also been Snoped and shown to be a leftist propaganda site puking out misinformation. All of that, True or False is irrelevant because the simplistic truth of it all is worth the notoriety and the humor of it all.

True or false, the pure perfect identification of the leftist PC insanity is sweet and most humorous! The leftist Snopes, has itself been Snoped and shown to be a leftist source of misinformation. But you never check that stuff out huh Pussy?

The "TRUTH" of it all, is the pure humorous fact that whoever said it, it's the perfect description of the insane idiot PC garbage. Only leftist and RINO's think you should pick up a piece of shit by it's "clean end."
