Communist rule in US "inevitable"

[regent]

Before the civil war, tariffs and excise taxes provided 100% of the revenue for the federal government. They were he only kind of taxes allowed by the Constitution. Given that circumstance, how would the government fund itself without "helping business?"

That was my point, government helped business with tariffs. Another source of income was the sale of public lands.

Obviously, my point went right over your head. There is no tax the federal government could legally impose that some turd couldn't use to accuse it of "helping business."

No, you supported my point that the tariff helped business and one of the turds you speak of was Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton is the one that attached the help our infant industries to the tariff, and the fact was that the tariff did just that, helped industry. Of course, the tariff hurt those that imported materials, particulary the South. The fight over tariffs will lead to many crisis in our history simply because the tariffs were used for more than raising money.

It is interesting that what stopped the spread of communism in Europe was DEMOCRACY. Though for some reason, the lunatic fringe still conflates the two

This poster shows staunch support for McC without having looked into his past. Look up his history. He lied about his war record, he lied about his wounds. He lied about his opponent for office. All he achieved was to install himself in a cozy position and stay on the gravy train by stomping on individual rights.

Tell us what the lies were. All you've done is insist he lied. You proved nothing.

To support someone so energetically, one should know about them from one's own research. But, for the research challenged:

Joseph McCarthy : Biography

"As one of his biographers has pointed out, his campaign posters pictured him in "full fighting gear, with an aviator's cap, and belt upon belt of machine gun ammunition wrapped around his bulky torso." He claimed he had completed thirty-two missions when in fact he had a desk job and only flew in training exercises."

"McCarthy's first years in the Senate were unimpressive. People also started coming forward claiming that he had lied about his war record. Another problem for McCarthy was that he was being investigated for tax offences and for taking bribes from the Pepsi-Cola Company. In May, 1950, afraid that he would be defeated in the next election, McCarthy held a meeting with some of his closest advisers and asked for suggestions on how he could retain his seat. Edmund Walsh, a Roman Catholics priest, came up with the idea that he should begin a campaign against communist subversives working in the Democratic administration.

Joseph McCarthy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"It is well documented that McCarthy lied about his war record. Despite his automatic commission, he claimed to have enlisted as a "buck private". He flew twelve combat missions as a gunner-observer, earning the nickname of "Tail-Gunner Joe" in the course of one of these missions.[15]

"In his campaign, McCarthy attacked La Follette for not enlisting during the war, although La Follette had been 46 when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He also claimed La Follette had made huge profits from his investments while he, McCarthy, had been away fighting for his country. In fact, McCarthy had invested in the stock market himself during the war, netting a profit of $42,000 in 1943. La Follette's investments consisted of partial interest in a radio station, which earned him a profit of $47,000 over two years.[17]

The suggestion that La Follette had been guilty of war profiteering was deeply damaging, and McCarthy won the primary nomination 207,935 votes to 202,557. It was during this campaign that McCarthy started publicizing his war-time nickname "Tail-Gunner Joe", using the slogan, "Congress needs a tail-gunner". Arnold Beichman later stated that McCarthy "was elected to his first term in the Senate with support from the Communist-controlled United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, CIO", which preferred McCarthy to the anti-communist Robert M. La Follette.[18] In the general election against Democratic opponent Howard J. McMurray, McCarthy won 61.2% to Democrat McMurray's 37.3%, and thus joined Senator Wiley, whom he had challenged unsuccessfully two years earlier, in the Senate."

He later claimed 32 missions in order to qualify for a Distinguished Flying Cross, which he received in 1952. McCarthy publicized a letter of commendation which he claimed had been signed by his commanding officer and countersigned by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, then Chief of Naval Operations. However, it was revealed that McCarthy had written this letter himself, in his capacity as intelligence officer. A "war wound" that McCarthy made the subject of varying stories involving airplane crashes or antiaircraft fire was in fact received aboard ship during a ceremony for sailors crossing the equator for the first time.[14][16]"

Such an admirable American hero! Wouldn't you want your son to emulate him?

None of which changes the fact that even McCarthy vastly understated the extend to which the FDR and Truman White Houses were infiltrated by real Communist spies at a time when real Communist spies were helping their hometeam kill American soldiers in Korea.

Yeah, and what about the ten pounds of shrapnel that McCarthy carried about in his leg? Think he got that from some Neptune ceremony aboard the "Chandeleur"? I jest but the ten pounds was one of McCarthy's claims. The McCarthy period should be a required course in colleges in lieu of logic or critical thinking.

Liberals want you to believe that McCarthy was McCarthy before John Kerry was McCarthy.

Issue: McCarthy's somewhat understated warning that the FDR and Truman WH was a nest of Communist spies. This matters because they relayed our troop movement and strategt in Korea to their handlers in China and Moscow and got Americans killed

You: Somewhere lost in space, not on the issue at all
