It seems that many anti-war protesters don't know, or they don't care who is driving their train. I know that there is a freedom of speech in the nation, and I find it ironic that an organization such as the WWP, that believes in Marxist ideology, would use democracy to further their agenda.

[Michaelman]

I do spend alot of time on another message board, one that is extremely liberal. The majority of postesters that I debate with are completely okay with the fact that communists support and organize their protests. This is coming from mainly Brits and Euros, but also coming from quite a few "Americans".

I think that there is a problem with this underground movement. When will they get the picture that communism does not work. They believe that socialism is an evolved form of democracy. Thats BS!

We would be much better off if the House Committee on Un-American Activities were reinstated as well as COINTELPRO and the Subversive Activities Control Board. Local police departments should also be allowed to reinstate intelligence divisions or Hat Squads as they were called.

Actually, socialism can be an "evolved" form of democracy. Fortunately for us, we do not live in a democracy. We live in a republic.

[Stopislamnow]

we need to clone McCarthy, like, now.

[Michaelman]

True, I sometimes forget what I learned in government class. I just find it easier to call it democracy, when in fact it is a republic.

You know, I never heard "We are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic." Till I came to Free Republic. Liberals have really just about won that particular battle, and have convinced most young people that "this is a democracy!" Then they further appropriate the word "democracy" to promote "equity" and begin carefully moving people in the direction of Socialism. Once they have you convinced that "democracy" means what they say it means, it's an easy feed.

So in my EDUC classes I have to take at the University down here, every time my Marxist joke of a professor says, "in a democracy" I say "But we are not a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic." I know 25 people (my classmates) who will remember that phrase forever, cause I intend to make sure of it.

Just so long as they learn the lessons from the McCarthy years. If you get out-of-hand with your prosecution, there will be a backlash that will be felt for decades. The last thing conservatives need is a new generation of Americans experiencing McCarthyism for themselves. We'll have to hear the left-wing knee-jerk "McCarthyism" accusation for another 100 years.

As long as you use a lower-case "d", you're not necessarily wrong. Thomas Jefferson was a democratic Republican.

That comes from an education and a media that ignored the manifest crimes of the Communists for so many years. Even the Times would report stuff in the 1980s that made the Soviet Union look like more extreme form of Sweden. nope!

Ask your liberal friends how many people were killed by Communists Mao (30 million) and Stalin (10s of millions, in concentration/labor and death camps, moslty there for being property owneres, the wrong ethnic group or just for muttering something that might be suspect).

Ask them, do they even know? Have they heard of Hayek's "Road to Serfdom"? have them understand that *TODAY* 200,000 people in NOrth Korea *alone* are in the most despicable form of labor camps, with WORSE CONDITIONS THAN THE NAZIS HAD IN THEIR CAMPS! Not my words, just do a google on "North Korea death camps political prisoners" and you can find the articles.

If they dont know the crimes of the Communists, they wont understand how the Communist movement uses lies to advance their agenda. Expose the lies and you expose the COmmunist movement. SOcialism is a prescription for poverty.

Communism is the twin of Nazism. Peas in a pod. Saddam is peas in a pod with Hitler and Stalin both.

[WOSG]

we get the 'backlash' without the 'lash' these days....

Here we have'repressed' acresses going overseas to dump on American democracy freedom and values and trash our Government all the while claiming they feel 'uncomfortable' in this country, apparently because patriotic Americans call them on their B__ S___ and let them know about it.

These people live in glass houses, throw stones and whine about the damage bill.. arrrrrgggh.

It's sad indeed that we need a Congressional committee to tell us WHAT ANY NEWSPAPER COULD HAVE TOLD US but chose not to anyway. The links are there, open and well-known. And yet the papers wrote cr** articles about how the protesters were a 'slice of all walks of life' etc etc. NO go. It was the GLOBAL LEFT flexing its muscles.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...investigating the link between communists and radical Islamic terrorists...

If Congress wants to find communists they need to start with some of these leftwing, anarchist, anti-American, anti-war, anti-Bush groups.

[L`enn]

If we were a Democracy, Gore won the 2000 Election. Because we are a Contitutional Republic Bush one. Shows graphically how the difference between the two literally can save a nation.

[L`enn]

But for some odd reason the two always seem to show up in the same places.

[MEG33]

McCarthyism used to apply only to false allegations and overreaching hysteria. Now it covers the legitimate investigations of the era. The darling Alger Hiss really was a communist,Hollywood really was infiltrated.

[JakeSladder]

I'm sure this has been posted before, but still a good read.

[edwin hubble]

The sad irony is that McCarthy, as disturbed as he may have been, was right. Communists were in fact trying to infiltrate Hollywood... and government agencies.
