Great definition Ramey! We offended Germans and Japanese during WW II. Then we were quite patriotic for our own country. Many Japanese and Germans have assimilated very well. Thx Frd!

FINALLY, A DEFINITION OF THE TERM

"POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"!.................... from 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 in Tokyo Bay.

        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 turd by the clean end!
