McCarthy was right! And he’d be saying “I told you so!” right about now. Venona proved how right he was about all the accusations. That’s why hollywood always bashes him every chance it gets. They need to circle the wagons. Their contempt isn’t just for our values and ethics, it’s contempt for our entire system. There are a few entertainers who are standing up for America, but they’re too few and far between. An excellent book on McCarthy, “Blacklisted by HIstory” (I forget the author) should be required reading for all high school seniors. At a minimum, that would give them a fightin’ chance at seeing the disgusting bias in most institutions of “higher learning”.
Whiskey @ 102 points out that the lean started before the internet, but it’s accellerating the pace (i hope!)
I beleive, as do others who only touched on it, that the whole thing would eventually break because of unions!
Keep in mind that the AFL/CIO got its start-up money from the Communist Party of America, which in turn got it’s money directly from the Soviet Union! “Workers of the World UNITE!” sound familiar. The whole, I hate to say, conspiracy has been bearing fruit for some time now, culminating in the Obamanation we have now. The old Soviets did a number on us, all detailed in a couple of books by the head archivist of the KGB who defected with suitcases full of docs. “The Sword and the Shield” and “The World was Going Our Way”. The latter being more germane to the “conspiracy” accusation.
We can no longer be cowed into silence by the ALinsky-style of debate as well as peacniks saying we aren’t suposed to fight. We can’t let our enem… er, opponents define the rules of the battl… um, debate! There’s a backlash comin’, and when the time comes to stand and… oppose the forces of subjugaion and tyranny, will you be throwing rocks, like the Persians?
(Sorry. Not my best screed. It’s late here and I’m tired.)
