Point to ponder a bit:.....McCarthy henchman was Roy Cohn (a bonafide son of a bitch) who, of course, became Trump mentor appointed by Fred Trump to teach his son all the paranoia that an inept buffoon needs to screw up everything he touched.

And yet that "inept buffoon" is a multi-billionaire and President of the United States and here you are an unemployed, giggling little peckerwood on a message board. :badgrin:
 
Marxist theory: The political and economic philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in which the concept of class struggle plays a central role in understanding society's allegedly inevitable development from bourgeois oppression under capitalism to a socialist and ultimately classless society.

I voted "No" because what I see is that we've actually gone the other way with the widening of gap between economic classes.

I think we've become closer to fascism -

a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

i was wondering what kind of idiot would quote howard stern as if his opinion on anything besides masturbation
meant anything

now i know
 
Mccarthy was fully aware of the Marxist subversion of America, we need only look at the MSM and SCOTUS Justice Stevens to see how entrenched these Marxists are. They ddin't appear there overnight, they've been there the entire time...since Mccarthy's time.

They make note of how he targeted Hollywood...just look at Holywood with all the LGBTQ, anti-gun and pro-death bullshit

It is difficult to estimate the number of victims of McCarthy. The number imprisoned is in the hundreds, and some ten or twelve thousand lost their jobs.[59] In many cases simply being subpoenaed by HUAC or one of the other committees was sufficient cause to be fired.[60] Many of those who were imprisoned, lost their jobs, or were questioned by committees did in fact have a past or present connection of some kind with the Communist Party. But for the vast majority, both the potential for them to do harm to the nation and the nature of their communist affiliation were tenuous.[61] After the extremely damaging "Cambridge Five" spy scandal (Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, et al.), suspected homosexuality was also a common cause for being targeted by McCarthyism. The hunt for "sexual perverts", who were presumed to be subversive by nature, resulted in over 5,000 federal workers being fired, and thousands were harassed and denied employment.[62][63] Many have termed this aspect of McCarthyism the "Lavender scare".[64][65]

Homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder in the 1950s.[66] However, in the context of the highly politicised Cold War environment, homosexuality became framed as a dangerous, contagious social disease that posed a potential threat to state security.[66] As the family was believed to be the cornerstone of American strength and integrity,[67] the description of homosexuals as "sexual perverts" meant that they were both unable to function within a family unit and presented the potential to poison the social body.[68] This era also witnessed the establishment of widely spread FBI surveillance intended to identify homosexual government employees

Mccarthy should be an honored American hero.

McCarthy realized that you don't need to be right, you don't need to tell the truth, you just need to shout it loudly and first.

US politics learned a lot from this moron.
 
What was wrong about saying there were Communists in State Department?
There is nothing wrong with that.

Subpoenaing and questioning a bunch of private citizens before congress about their beliefs IS wrong. I will NEVER agree to that being justified. NEVER!!!

That's not liberty. That IS the very statist bullshit I am against in my opposition to communism. The irony of McCarthyism is glaring.

I'm sorry can you name one person, including Zero Mostel, who was improperly brought before McCarthy to testify?

OMFG!!!

"In many cases simply being subpoenaed by HUAC or one of the other committees was sufficient cause to be fired"

OMFG!!!!

Anyone see the irony here when talking about Sen. Joe McCarthy?

Just because it is "proper" doesn't mean it is right. HUAC didn't even have to bring most of the "witnesses" before Congress. They simply threatened them with a subpoena and resulting contempt, and the "witnesses" gave up names, which created the "black list" of private citizens that ruined careers and defamed many. That is wrong.

I want to get rid of commies/statists/authoritarians like the next freedom lover, but I am not willing to become one to do it. Perhaps that is my weakness.

As for those in the State Department trusted with our security and protection, I have no sympathy. That's just part of the job. Loyalties are definitely relevant.

Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

The Constitution authorizes the "state" to act with all force necessary to guarantee an otherwise free country. That's it's entire purpose.

-Russia and China, the two major cultures that embraced communism in the 20th century, both to this day HATE homosexuality. It might still be illegal; if not, it's damned close.

-Changing the Constitution is outlined within it. We've outlawed slavery with it and given women the vote with it. Change is not a bad thing.

-Hollywood violence is a pure capitalist enterprise. It sells.

There is nothing Marxist about any of it.
 
Thanks to "Tail-Gunner Joe" the teachers in the public schools back in the 50's had to sign a loyalty oath to the Constitution and reveal any leftwing affiliations....Try to imagine that happening today considering the public schools are now little more than communist training camps. We need a Joe McCarthy now more than ever and may have found one in Donald J. Trump.
Tolerance toward others and teaching both sides of history IS NOT Communist. Jesus you people are thick.
 
Actually HUAC was created during a democrat administration. Democrats hated communists at first before they discovered that the modern democrat party had a lot in common with commies and socialists. Hollywood blacklisted commie writers and then blamed the whole unfortunate era on a republican senator, Joe McCarthy.

I think we need an Augusto Pinochet.

And fuck ton of aircraft fuel.

Failing that Trump is doing well enough.

You can't sneak a conservative speaker onto a university campus in a disguise at 2am.....a grade school teacher was just fired for wondering if kids would be allowed to march against Planned Parenthood.....is this the "tolerance" you speak of?
 
Look at today's Democratic Party. It's about that old saying 'The winners write the history books.' The Communists with help from the Democratic Party, destroyed McCarthy. They then wrote the distorted and faux history of the man.

McCarthy was absolutely correct about the Communist infiltration of American Media, especially Hollywood. But he lost. The Communists then later went on to seize control of the US Democratic Party. It really is so tragic.
