A Tribute to Harry Truman and 'Horse Manure' in 2021
2021-06-27
[American Thinker] There's a story that goes back to the time of President Harry S. Truman. President Truman was a very "earthy" guy from Missouri, and he did not put on airs or act like someone he wasn't. He used the phrase "horse manure" quite often when he was president. Whether talking about the Russian communists or the do-nothing Congress or the critics of his daughter's piano skills, Truman would often say, "It's a bunch of horse manure." With credit given to "Give 'Em Hell Harry" Truman, I can think of a few more events and ideas that cause one to say the same.

– When Dr. Fauci lied about how effective masks are and how important it is to wear masks when, in fact, he knew they were not helpful at all...horse manure.

– When scientists lied about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine because they did not want President Trump to get any credit for stating its positive effect over COVID...horse manure.

– When the CDC, Fauci, and other scientists lied to the American people by saying the China virus came from a wet market when they knew that it probably came from a Chinese bio-lab...horse manure.

– When colleges and universities are no longer safe havens for free thought, free speech, and free expression, but more resemble the "thought police" of 1984 indoctrination camps...horse manure.

– When the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel protests going on in New York City are making NYC look more like the Gaza Strip than America...horse manure.

#2  Found somewhere on the internet: While speaking to a group of farmers, Truman repeatedly used the word "manure." His wife, Bess, was in the audience with one of her friends who whispered to her, "Bess, can't you get Harry to say 'fertilizer'?"

Bess replied, "It took me 30 years to get him to say 'manure.'"
