A round or two of water boarding would have gotten some answers. Maybe we wouldn’t have an undocumented commie in the oval office now.
The homofascists in Hollywood still have a blacklist/pinklist today but the academics, politicians, and journalists don’t give a damn.
“Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of a TEA party organization or supporter of the Constitution?”
The media has a litmus test. Of course they would, they are pinkos.
I stopped watching Hollywood’s cr@p decades ago.
As lefties like to say, “the personal is the political” & the lifestyles of Hollywood’s rich, famous, & influential belong in Sodom & Gomorrah’s trash dump.
Then they presume to preach to us in the name of Marx & Lenin. Double dogged hypocrites! Screw ‘em!
I think Diana West is right to question who really won the Cold War. Here is America a Islamo Communist was elected President twice. Who really won the Cold War?
My dad was stationed in Germany during the Cuban missile crisis. He’s still got the evacuation maps and instructions for family members.
A very good book I read about life in Eastern Europe during communism was “Behind the Berlin Wall; An Encounter in East Germany” by Steven Kelman. He details big differences between East and West Berlin.
“Ask anyone under 40 to identify Paul McCartney or “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” and the odds are you’ll get a blank look in return.”
It’s not really the point of his piece, but I think Bozell starts off badly. People in their mid-30s and younger are familiar with the Beatles and Paul McCartney, even if just from their parents (or grandparents) or playing Beatles Rock Band on Xbox.
The rest of it is pretty spot on.
Hollywood? What about our student’s textbooks? I always learned McCarthy was evil. Struck fear into my little brain. Should have been taught to fear communism, not feel empathy towards those who are traitors to George Washington (my hero).
They tried to do the same in the movie “The Way We Were”. Tried to make people feel sorry for Streisand and Redford, who were just acting out their real life (Communist) feelings.
Film director Steven Spielberg visited Cuba and met with Castro in November of 2002 and dined with the dictator until the early morning hours. Afterward, Spielberg announced that his dinner with Castro “was the eight most important hours of my life.”

Dalton Trumbo was an evil, evil man who endorsed every twist and turn of the Communist line throughout his entire career. He defended the Hitler-Stalin Pact and wrote an anti-interventionist book and then, when Hitler turned on his buddy, immediately reversed himself and actually began to turn into the feds anyone who continued to write and request copies of the book!
If the Norks ever do lob a nuke our way (G-d forbid!) I hope they get Hollywood first . . . or maybe San Francisco.
Dalton Trumbo would have hated them.
“And there it was for all the world to see. And my dad put it there.” —Michael Douglas speaking of father Kirk’s decision to credit Trumbo as screenwriter for “Spartacus”.
