He was correct about the Soviet atomic spies.
The whole focus of the Soviet atomic bomb program was to build a copy of the American "Fat Man" implosion device.
Klaus Fuchs, Theodore Hall, David Greenglass, Rosenbergs and the other spies provided all of the info on the bomb to the Soviets.
The first Soviet atomic bomb called "RDS-1", detonated on 29 August 1949 was an almost exact copy of the American "Fat Man".
“When you’re catching flak that means you are over the target.”
Ike is my second-favorite President behind Reagan. Pretty good General, too.
Mine as well. Read it 3-4 years ago and think about what he wrote every darn day.
They hate him because,as was the case with Nixon vs Hiss,McCarthy was on the right track on the subject of Commie infiltration of the US Government...an infiltration that continues to this day.
Young Americans have been led to believe that communism wasn't all that bad. They have no idea about the spread of communism and the Soviets determination to dominate the world.
>>>Simple. The left was and is a bunch of commies, and they did not like McCarthy pointing out their treason.>>>
And they’re still claiming today that he was wrong. No lie is too big for the leftists.
“Eisenhower was not a RINO. He balanced the budget in 1956, 1957 and 1958. He startd the policy of massive retaliation. If the Soviets ever threatened us we would unload outr nuclear arsenal on them.”
He also had serious flaws, like selling out the Hungarian freedom fighters.
bfl
Because the Left is a bunch of communists. McCarthy had the guts to call a spade a spade and the Left doesn’t like to hear the truth about themselves. They prefer to hide behind labels like “compassionate” and “pro-democracy” as they subvert the United States.
McCarthy was completely vindicated by the Venona Papers (in the Library of Congress, I believe). He was right. We WERE infiltrated.
“He also had serious flaws, like selling out the Hungarian freedom fighters.”
What should he have done? Started WW3?
"We knew that we had created a new means of warfare, and the question as to what nation, to what victorious nation we were willing to entrust this brainchild of ours was a moral decision more than anything else. We wanted to see the world spared another conflict such as Germany had just been through, and we felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided by the Bible could such an assurance to the world be best secured."

I never understood why McCarthy was so hated but his henchman Bobby Kennedy was so loved.

Still, he took the easy path of dissing McCarthy and I’ll never forgive him for that.
“What should he have done? Started WW3?”
In 1956 with the Soviets at a huge numerical disadvantage in strategic forces?
How about him not forcing the German government to deny fuel to the aircraft the resistance wanted to use to bring supplies to the freedom fighters, supplies that the anti-communist forces were counting on to sustain their revolt and promised by Eisenhower, sticking their necks out in expectation of that support.
His arm twisting of the German government to deny that support cost the lives of at least 50,000 freedom fighters who were slaughtered in Budapest.
[ Eisenhower was not a RINO ]
Ike appointed the bastard William Brennan to the Supreme Court...
Was be Stupid or a RINO?...
Some say it depends on the day of the week..
