From a Democrat... Politically correct means being able to pick up a piece of sh.. by the clean end.
I think Truman was onto something.

Truman's using the term in a “Miss Manners” style - which is NOT what Democrats have turned it into. He was saying 'don't be rude'...

Democrats use PC language as a way to shut down open debate - us controling the discussion of issues by shaming. That's NOT what Truman was asking of MacArthur...

bet you got this in an email from a friend who said his cousin’s wife’s uncle actually saw the paper telegrams in the Truman library?

The Definition of Political Correctness

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I don’t believe those ‘telegrams’ for a minute, but have heard this actually occurred in a conversation between a reporter and Bess Truman, the FLOTUS.

“Ma’am, could you get the president to stop saying ‘manure’ all the time?”

“Hon, it took me 35 years to get him to say ‘manure’!”

Cool story Bro, as this exchange never happened and has been discredited multiple times. But cool story!
