I was loaned a movie recently called (Goodnight, and good luck) George Clooney directs and co-writes this Stab me in the eyes film. I was fascinated by the communist infiltration that is barely portrayed. The movie portrays Joseph McCarthy as an out of control politician on a witch hunt for anyone that disagreed with him. Was McCarthy right, or was he an
overzealous politician. All the pieces of the puzzle lead me to believe that "where there is smoke there is fire". Edward R. Murrow held high positions in international education organizations. I was amazed at the popularity of communism in this country during the great depression. Hard economic times left people searching for a solution even if it meant overthrowing the government. People were card carrying members of the communist party. The vast majority of these communist party members and supporters were so-called educated intellectuals that studied abroad and workers unions. They were welcomed by the communist leadership. Where did they go? What happened to them? They continued to teach the communist curriculum under different names, "progressive" teachings. Nikita Khrushchev stated in 1962 and I quote "your children will be communists" well I dont know about you but I think they are here!

No doubt McCarthy was right. The question becomes one of black-listing anyone because of political affiliation. There is still a freedom of speech here that MUST transcend the political spectrum - or we are as bad as Obama and the snitch line at the White House.
ReplyDeleteIt is not about being black listed. If they believe in there communists ideas. Let them run on them out in the open. They have freedom of speech. To pretend not to be communists and run under a label of Liberal-progressive in order to obtain power to disregard and destroy the branches of government and the constitution is no more than an act of treason and should be treated as such. Let their policies stand the constitutional tests of the supreme court. They are collapsing the system as we type. It is not by accident. It is a well thought out plan. Treason is upon us.
ReplyDeleteWell put, Rob.
ReplyDeleteThe various and sundry traitors should be proud of being a utopian socialist or a Marxist-Leninist! Don't hide behind other tags - wave the red flag, sing the "International" and raise your fist.
In any other place, they'd shoot you. Here you have the right to say it.
