I long for Mcarthyism
I agree... McCarthy was right... and McCarthy-ism lives... there is you... and there is me... and certainly there are many more like us.

****I long for Mcarthyism****
I’d love to see MCarthy t-shirts, kinda like the Che ones, at Tea Party events.
Whenever someone whines to me about McCarthyism, I say, “What if McCarthyism were about Fascists instead of Communists in the US government, or their subversive activities throughout the US?”
Within a minute, I usually get called a name, and then I grin because I know I’ve won. :)
Yeah, McCarthy was right and that was confirmed by the KGB's own records after the end of Cold War I (Cold War II is on the horizon) but it was scary for anybody who believes in the US Constitution and real personal liberty. Anybody who wants to see a return hasn't thought of the ramifications of all that rage being directed in a different direction. It's already happened. What about the post Katrina gun grabs? What about TSA bodily intrusions? We can all think of examples if we try. Still, all this is but a pale shade of how bad it's eventually going to be. Ever read the final book of the Bible? That's the true essence of McCarthyism. The Anti Christ goes after everybody who refuses his mark, the Mark of the Beast. How does he treat the children of the Living God? The folks who stand up for Jesus Christ? We haven't reached that point yet, but the beginnings can be seen around us all the time. How does that make you feel?
