Go Ann Go
We’re damned lucky to have Ann.
“Here come the FReepers who will complain that Coulter has “gone too far” in attacking Dean Acheson.”
Actually, she went too far when she mentioned the engine that can run on dirt....just when we had everyone convinced it ran on water.
We need some McCarthys now who are not afraid of PravdABDNCBS. Buy that girl a steak!!
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Ann’s chapter on McCarthy in TREASON almost moved me to tears , it was so good, and so unexpected, coming at a time, as it were, when the ongoing slander of McCarthy was just about to be revived once again.
Inchon was a success cause we let it slip that the invasion was to be at Kunsan.
I doubted that fact so I had to look it up. Sure enough, she was born in 1961, towards the tail end for a boomer.
I thought she was younger (late 30's very early 40's) but she is a mere 8 years younger then I.
Maybe I do have a chance?
;)
Go for it!!
Indeed, and one of his hardest working campaign staffers was an eager young lad named George McGovern.
Exactly why the libs continue to defame the original. Like they say, it's not a witch hunt if you actually find some witches.
When the press [read liberals] can’t refute the argument, they smear the speaker. Then and now.
BTTT
FDR had several commies in his administration, some of whom were very influential in setting up the socialist agencies and implementing ideas from which we are still suffering. Liberals still believe FDR was god, but he was a flawed president wih leftist leanings. McCarthy was right about commie infiltration into the government.

According to an older post on FreeRepublic:
Although his judgeship exempted him from military service, McCarthy enlisted in the Marines and was sworn in as a first lieutenant in August 1942. He served as an intelligence officer for a bomber squadron stationed in the Solomon Islands, and also risked his life by volunteering to fly in the tail-gunner’s seat on many combat missions. Those who quibble about the number of combat missions he flew miss the point - he didn’t have to fly any.
The enemies of McCarthy have seized on his good-natured remark about shooting down coconut trees from his tail-gunner’s spot (an ABC television movie about McCarthy in the late 1970s was entitled Tail Gunner Joe) to belittle his military accomplishments, but the official record gives the true picture. Not only were McCarthy’s achievements during 30 months of active duty unanimously praised by his commanding officers, but Admiral Chester Nimitz, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, issued the following citation regarding the service of Captain McCarthy:
For meritorious and efficient performance of duty as an observer and rear gunner of a dive bomber attached to a Marine scout bombing squadron operating in the Solomon Islands area from September 1 to December 31, 1943. He participated in a large number of combat missions, and in addition to his regular duties, acted as aerial photographer. He obtained excellent photographs of enemy gun positions, despite intense anti-aircraft fire, thereby gaining valuable information which contributed materially to the success of subsequent strikes in the area. Although suffering from a severe leg injury, he refused to be hospitalized and continued to carry out his duties as Intelligence Officer in a highly efficient manner. His courageous devotion to duty was in keeping with the highest traditions of the naval service.

Wrong. And wrong. No American has every been secretary General of the UN. Hiss was jailed for purgery, not for being a communist. You sir, have no credibility.
The leftist counter-offensive against McCarthy was beginning to take its toll in late 1953. Many Senators became fed up with McCarthy's showmanship as the liberal media relentlessly launched baseless attacks against his character. On a dark day in American history in December 1954, American hero and patriot Joseph McCarthy was censured by the US Senate.
Following his censure, McCarthy sunk into alcoholism from which he never recovered. He died of hepatitis on May 2nd, 1957 at the age of 49.
Sounds like McCarthy did more than just nurse a drink, if he eventually died of alcohol-related liver problems at age 49.
Uh, didn't Hiss's conviction for purgery have something to do with his not wanting to divulge that he was a Communist? I seem to recall that from this big Witness book what I read.
