McCarthyism is on the march again from within the leadership of the Republican Party. Oh no, you say, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is from the Tea Party, not a Republican leader. Tell that to Sarah Palin and others who argue that Cruz is the new leader of the Republicans.
They point out how Cruz took the Senate floor for 21 hours, arguing that he had to stop Obamacare funding by shutting down the government. They are proud that he said that, unlike the world that refused to stop the Nazis in 1940, he would be the hero of America and stop Obamacare funding. (He is equating Obamacare to Hitler killing 6 million Jews and Christians.)
Is this man a fraud, as he was called by Republican U.S. Rep. Peter King of New York? I don’t think so. I have no doubt that he believes what he says and ultimately will resort to name-calling and characterizing those who oppose him as unpatriotic.
Like Joe McCarthy, he uses scare tactics to bully his way to the television news screens, despite all logic that these tactics are not only abusive but full of falsehoods. Like McCarthy in the 1950s, he is a dangerous zealot who will capture the ugliest right-wingers to his side, to the detriment of America. Why else would he argue to keep millions from Obamacare, including children younger than 26 of parents with health care, and those with chronic diseases who now are dropped from care? He as a senator has the best of health care, but will lie and spread propaganda to prevent Americans from having the same.
Fortunately, Republicans such as John McCain and most Democratic senators have figured him out. They know he doesn’t care if the government shuts down because it would satisfy his right-wing buddies who will, in their hatred for Obama and Obamacare, sacrifice the fiscal responsibilities of our government and destroy its integrity.
This time around, Cruz will be stopped. But hold on to your horses – he is just beginning his march on Obamacare, Social Security, food stamps, labor, immigration and the other programs that make this country the strongest there is.
We went through the McCarthy era, and we learned what a demagogue in power can do.
We also know that we have to beware of Cruz and his policies. This includes the Republicans, who have much at stake in coming elections and need to regain control of their party or again lose favor with the voters.
He was mostly right. He was off on a wild goose chase a few times...like against George Marshall. M.Stanton Evans documents that in his pro-McCarthy book “Blacklisted By History” which everyone should read.
“Obamacare, Social Security, food stamps, labor, immigration and the other programs that make this country the strongest there is....”
A very delusional individual.
And of course the MSM mentions at every chance, Sen. Cruz, Canadian by way of Texas.
They want to ruin any chance of him running for president.
By the time 2015-16 rolls around they’ll be dubbing in ‘eh?’ to the end of his sentences.
The Tea Party is a hostile takeover of the Republican Party.
More, please. And faster.
We went through the McCarthy era, and we learned what a demagogue in power can do.

We are seeing right now what a Demagogue can do.
Watch Obama he is a teaching moment.
cruzism I like it!
“When you’re taking flak,
you’re right over the target.”
Well, McCarthy was correct after all.
My dumbass brother said the same thing. Maybe I was adopted!
McCarthy was of course correct
The Marxists now destroying America are the rspawn of the remnents that escaped his purge
Ad hominems full of vitriol and Communist-inspired lies are fun.
Let me try my hand at it:
Excerpted from confidential SMERSH Dossier:
Lowell Greenbaum, Reichsfuhrer, Richmond County Dem Party, a twice-convicted child molester who is one of the most powerful and coldblooded leaders of Obama’s secretive Peoples’ Army, has been tasked with the responsibility of sabotaging the country from within, through a combination of false propagandizing, organizing mayhem, and setting into motion targeted assassinations of the regime’s most outspoken opponents.
Greenbaum, who has been awarded the V. I. Lenin prize for treason and treachery for his lifetime’s work of demagoguery and evil deeds, recently trained his sights on Senator Ted Cruz and the “Tea Party”, who are seen as threats to the legitimacy of the regime due to their obsession with truth-telling.
Look for Greenbaum to escalate his Goebbels-inspired verbal attacks, which will be followed by a series of orchestrated false-flag incidents, involving firearms and IEDs, perpetrated by loyal Communist Party members posing as Tea Party activists.
(So, how did I do?)
If “shutting down” the federal government cripples the country we have a failed republic. There are 50 state and countless local governments perfectly able to provide services to the American people.
Read “Blacklisted by History” by M. Stanton Evans if you are interested in the real Joe McCarthy and the real Dems of his era.
McCarthy was right!
So what? 0's the new Chamberlain.
“Cruz is the new MacArthur.” There I fixed it.
These people are insanely tone-deaf.
There. That's my comment!
That is exactly what they are.
Especially the ones in my party.
I really can’t wait to watch the end of the GOP, I will be making popcorn.
McCarthy was right. And we still have dangerous communists in our government.
The commies mean it as an insult. I would run with it and give the world a real history lesson, not the libs parade of lies about McCarthy.
Wall St. and the Bolshevik Revolution
The Banksters used Communism as a front to wreck societies and then control populations and wealth. Today they use Al Qaeda.
