Hold_that_tiger: Half truths and rhetoric.
McCarthy was also destroyed and committed suicide by drink under the Eisenhower administration. Eisenhower himself was a political opponent of McCarthy. Nixon’s “War on Drugs” originating with the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 was passed by an absolute DEMOCRATIC majority in both houses of Congress. (234/192 in the HoR, 57/43 in the Senate) Your ‘continued assault on Roe v Wade’ is a myth based on lies. The fact is, that decision was unsoundly founded and a case of judicial activism at the time, which stamped on the State’s rights you pretend to care about in your very next sentence. The fact that it has stood for decades and since been integrated into the American political landscape mocks the very idea of a ‘continued assault.’
And I’m confused on how covert surveillance of terrorism suspects ‘limits’ your liberty, especially since the whole point is to track people who abuse that ‘liberty’ to kill Americans. I suppose that it’s also worthy to note that the ‘so called PATRIOT Act’ was passed by bi-partisan coalitions not once, not twice, but three times since 2001.
Lastly, I’m amazed that you can say that ‘redistribution of wealth’ by Democrats is laughable in the same paragraph that you cite past 90% tax rates, passed by Democrats.
But please, ignore me, as I fully expect you to. This isn’t directed towards you, because I’m an evil, stupid, ignorant rightist whose out to create a new fascism and you’re too smart to fall for my low cunning. This is directed towards others who might actually buy your statements. A twisted historical memory and completely sincere hypocrisy; the intellectual contributions of the modern Democratic party.
