Here’s the thing with the Proud Boys. They were founded by some guys who were ex-punk rockers, and so they are “rough around the edges” and not good little button-down young republican types. In the beginning, just because they were willing to fight the Antifa commies, they attracted some of the white nationalist skinhead types who had also been fighting Antifa on the streets for years.

Because they were decentralized and not really a top-down organization, those guys were able to sneak in and that gave the left enough of an excuse to label the Proud Boys as racists, white supremacists, etc. But that was never what the organization was about, and they kicked those boneheads out pretty quickly once they noticed what was happening.

I became interested in Joseph McCarthy some years ago when I read one of Ann Coulter's books (Treason or Slander, can't remember which now) but in it, she discussed Joseph McCarthy at some length.

It was unsettling for me, because her account of him was so diametrically opposed to what I had read in history books, been told by news organizations, had been taught by teachers, and what I had seen from the entertainment industry.

Completely different, and I thought "Well, someone is wrong here. Why would Ann Coulter, who would be open to criticism for taking a flawed stance on so obviously an evil man, write those kinds of laudatory things about the Senator.

So I found copies of the transcripts from the Army-McCarthy Hearings of June 1954, and read the official transcript of the hearing. (One session was famous for the Leftist lawyer Joseph Welch who attacked McCarthy with the famous "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?")

To my surprise, Ann Coulter's account was spot on, and the people who slandered him...were deceiving and lying.

This set me off on a journey that has led me to dozens of books and investigation on this subject, and I understood fully what the Left did to Joseph McCarthy.



And it is the same thing they are trying to do to each and every one of us who disagrees with them.

They want to erase us. They want to make us "un-persons". Not fit for polite society.

They want to discredit, diminish, and consign to the memory hole every single thing any of us has done, and in death, they want to salt the earth so that in the memory of us, nothing will grow, nothing will be remembered.

THAT is what the Left wants. Utter erasure.
