You nailed it. The Communist have been infiltrating our government for decades now and they have finally succeeded in getting a majority believing the propaganda.
The infiltration has been going on for a long, long time. It was already going on in the nineteen thirties, forties and fifties. There were THREE investigations of communists, the Dies Committee, the House Unamerican Activities Committee and finally the Army McCarthy hearings. Senator McCarthy exposed how the communists had been infiltrating every kind of group you could possible think of including churches. When the left turned on McCarthy like a pack of hyennas, they destroyed his name,all people remember about him was the unfair term of “McCarthyism”. The cover of that term “McCarthyism” is what has given the left fifty years to systematicaly burrow into all of our instititions. We can see it today in the Democratic Party, the universities and the media.
If you haven’t read it already get “Blacklisted by History”, the story of Joseph McCarthy by M. Stanton Evans.
One of the Soviets said that they would package communism as liberalism and the American people would accept it.
Any remedy to the communist infusion into the USA societal structure was not helped by the way/manner Eisenhower jumped all over Joe McCarthy.
