Reds are evil and practice seditious overthrow of our Constitutional form of government.

No. They. Do. Not.

At least, not anymore.

Reds are evil and practice seditious legal, democratic populist overthrow of our Constitutional form of government.

McCarthy, good intentions aside, lost us the propaganda war for the last half-century.

The left uses his ashes as a scaffold to sell their wicked wares to a larger audience.

Sorry to disagree.

McCarthy bought our nation time, if nothing else.

He DID win, but paid for it with his life and reputation.

I have to heartily disagree. It was entrenched Communists and 'useful idiots' in U.S. government and the media who vilified McCarthy and turned his courageous truths upside-down. Yes, the Left uses its mythical "McCarthyism" to sell its wares but blame the real villains, not McCarthy.

It was the CYA Democrat Truman administration, the Tydings Committee, the Edward R. Murrows's, etc. who turned truth into populist lies -- and it continues today. Blaming McCarthy for evils done by our collective enemies seems to me an ultimate perversion of reality.

Meanwhile I agree that the Marxists are engaged in the "legal, democratic populist overthrow of our Constitutional form of government." They achieve that by the means I outlined in Post 28:

"Their great secret weapons from the beginning have been a lazy and uninformed American electorate, the Big Lie, historical revisionism and control of mass communications media...[they]are expert at demolishing 'inconvenient truths' about themselves."
