We know from the Venona intercepts (see the Yale book) that the Communist Part members were active agents working against the US. That does not shock me. An ideology is going to have a working plan. The Communists were good at destroying anyone who was aware of their tactics and agenda. I am glad they made an enemy out of Ronald Reagan.
If someone goes over what Reagan endured in Hollywood, when he stayed up all night with a gun to protect his family, then that person will see how dangerous the Reds were and are.
Reagan was inspired to go into politics because of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" with Jimmy Stewart. It is still a great film.
At my midwestern college we had a student body president who dressed as a Marxist all week long and then cleaned up for alumni days, etc. It was a riot to see what a phony he was. The college has preserved a part of the campus marred by the scribblings of the 1960's activists, as a holy shrine, so they do not get my money.
It was easy for progressive types to give in to the radicals. The progressives and the spineless conservatives got rewarded for their silence.
