I posted this the other day on a similar thread, when someone stated that Obama was trying to destroy the country.

I agreed, and here is one of the reasons why:

Joseph McCarthy gave a speech on the Senate floor in 1951, and later wrote a book that expounded on and backed up his points that he made on the floor, called “America’s Retreat from Victory”.

Like many people, I was unwilling to attach any negative aspirations or actions to someone who was hailed as a war hero and one of the greatest men of the 20th century.

McCarthy was not so shy, and was willing not only to say what he thought publicly, but to back it up with documentation, which he did in his book mentioned above (A copy of which I purchased a couple of years ago)

It is a stunning book, but how it relates to this subject here is this: In his analysis, Joseph McCarthy made the point that if some of the things that were done by Marshall that helped the communists were simply the result of a poor analysis or choice on his part, someone with his intellect would be likely to choose correctly at least SOME of the time, as a matter of averages. And that never happened. Without fail, nearly every choice and action in which Marshall was part of, they all were to the advantage of the communists.

The same can be said of Obama, in my estimation. If some of his actions were due to his stupidity or inexperience, at least some of his actions would be helpful.

None are. And that tells me something.

Have you ever seen the list of materials given the Soviets via Lend-Lease? It’s pretty incredible.

Read up on Major Jordan’s Diaries. It’s pretty amazing, and there seems to have been some really questionable shipments made, of things like, say, heavy water and other nuclear materials.
