I saw M. Stanton Evans, then-editor of the now-defunct Indianapolis News, destroy in debate Dr. Robert Risk of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union. We YAFers had a shouting match with Risk's bearded Marxist hangers-on. '64, heading for the New York YAF convention under Dick Allen to draft Goldwater only to lose to the incredibly bad LBJ.Albion Wilde, this is so transparent, this Arab Spring, "Obama's" replacement of secular regimes with Islamist ones, using CIA and NATO and Saudi assets to arm the Muslim Brotherhood.
"Obama" is the natural Islamo-Communist tool, useful narcissist, seed of El Hajj Malik Al Shabazz our Sunni convert Malcolm.
Ann Coulter called Evans the greatest living authority on McCarthy. The Venona transcripts vindicate him.
Who lost China? Then Nixon and Henry went. Then Bill Clinton and Bernie Schwartz and C. Michael Armstrong gave them our missile secrets.
Wen Ho Lee with Bill Richardson's protection gave them our warhead secrets despite Notra Trulock's efforts.
Now they hack and hack as they warned in Unrestricted Warfare.
"Obama" will be more flexible with the KGB Stalinophile, slash our warhead stocks.
The people of America are the schools of fish of the Matrix or the soma-doped of Huxley.
The relevance of Evans' work is that the past is always prologue.
"Obama" brings the new radicalism.
Thanks for your interesting post. The Clinton era was largely a blur for me, so I was unaware of the Bernie Schwartz story. Had to look it up. Sounds like he was Bill Clinton's "Soros."
Well, since you mentioned YAF...
Fightin' Joe McCarthy, we're one and all for you.
You got the dirty Commies and you'll get teh pinkos too.
Oh, Fightin' Joe McCarthy, we're one and all for you.
Our land you'll save, our flag you'll wave,
The dear red, white, and blue!
Now Fightin' Joe McCarthy has gone to his reward
And now he's up in Heaven fighting Commies for the Lord
Oh, Fightin' Joe McCarthy, we're one and all for you.
Our land you'll save, our flag you'll wave,
The dear red, white, and blue!
Another YAF story:
Each odd-numbered year, we’d have a YAF National Convention. In the years just prior to Presidential elections, we’d nominate our dream ticket, with a rollcall for President and Vice President.
At the ‘79 convention, towards the end of the VP rollcall, our Wisconsin chairman rose and said:
“Mr. Chairman, the great state of Wisconsin is proud to cast its 6 votes for a man who truly believes that it is better to be dead than Red — our Senator — FIGHTIN’ JOE McCARTHY!!!”
This set off one of the very few genuinely spontaneous “spontaneous demonstrations” I have ever seen, with people chanting “Joe! Joe! Joe!” and others singing the song I quoted above.
