A Historical Note:

Senator Joe McCarthy

--a brief excerpt from Richard H. Rovere's Senator Joe McCarthy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The late Joseph R. McCarthy, a United States Senater from Wisconsin, was in many ways the most gifted demagogue ever bred on these shores. No bolder seditionist ever moved among us--nor any politician with a surer, swifter access to the dark places of the American mind. The major phase of McCanhy's career was mercifully short. It began in 1950, three years after he had taken his seat in the Senate, where he had seemed a dim and inconsiderable figure. It ended in 1954, when the Senate passed a resolution of censure against him. That was three years before his death at the age of fony-eight. Both his rise and his fall were accomplished with breath-taking speed. At the start of 1950, he was a jackstraw in Washington. Then he uncovered Communism--almost by inadvertence, as Columbus discovered America, as James Marshall discovered California gold.

Morning Blogger,
Joe was correct and the commies went to plan 1 in their manifesto playbook(demonize and attack)

Many Americans often forget commies just don't go away. They are teaching in our schools, colleges, and are in both the congress/senate.

Algier Hiss(commie) was instrumental America's involvement with the League of Nations. This later evolved to become the United Nations.(Our Enemies Within Our Midst)

There is always a "Commie" in every wood-pile if left untorched.
