McCarthyite! Wow, makes me think of my very intelligent son (now a brand-new engineer) who graduated high school in 2008. He once brought up the fact that his public high school history teacher spent a full week talking (teaching?) about Joe McCarthy. On his own, my son surmised that it was just an effort to introduce to kids the idea that opposing or exposing communism is ridiculous, and that it’s “not cool.”
That's a label to wear with pride along with intolerant, racist, gun nut, anti-choice, Bible thumper, homophobe and other pejoratives that the left uses to diminish Conservatives. One that I personally consider a real badge of honor is: Southern, white, heterosexual, gun-toting, right-wing, born-again Christian male. To the commies, that's Kryptonite but it describes real Americans, the ones who have a plan of salvation for our country.
