I have no problem with Republicans as long as they don't support Bush. President Eisenhower would spit on Bush.

You Evil, Nazi, Racist, Homophobe, Nutjob, Kidnapper, Robber, Election Fraud Committer, Republican.

Your pleas will fall on def ears. Or in this case blind eyes. People like to generalize. It’s fun, it’s easy, it’s also easy to be blown way out of proportion, thus making it not so fun, and can at times lead to utter confusion.

True republicans are good people that believe in financial responsibility and conservatism, as well as compassion.

However, religious fanatical bush idiots...um, republicans are disgraces.

i am not really a republican, nor am i a democrat. i am who i am, i believe what i believe, and what i believe is that bush is a failure and should not be allowed to "stay the course," because allowing him to do that would be like allowing someone to push the gas petal on a car that has already been totaled smashing into a brick wall.

I have no problem with Republicans as long as they don't support Bush. President Eisenhower would spit on Bush.

I doubt it. Ike would probably toast Bush as a fellow war criminal.

Belonging to a certain group or holding a particular political view doesn't automatically make one evil...unless, of course, that person is a Nazi.

Woah, not all Nazi's were evil...remember the time period.

Good point.

Don't forget that Eisenhower shut down McCarthy. I see a lot of parallels in Bush's political tactics and McCarthyism. Of course, if you're a follower of Ann Coulter, that would be a good thing to you.

Yes.

Most of the stuff you read about 'McCarthyism' is crap. I have yet to hear a critic of McCarthy's provide the name of a single person he allegedly ruined. Most anti-McCarthy people have never read any of his speeches or writings, or read any books about him. Most people get their (mis)information about him from the media, school textbooks, etc.

An overwhelmingly vast majority of liberals are not assholes. Liberal assholes are a small minority.

Then why did Eisenhower find the need to dress McCarthy down? Believe your revisionist history if you want, but McCarthy clearly stoked the anti-communist hysteria.

Indeed he did, but most of the stuff one would read about McCarthy- that he ruined thousands of lives, never uncovered a single communist, etc.- is false.

you are going to have to develop a thicker skin if you are going to enjoy being on this board

to paraphrase

if the shoe doesnt fit, dont wear it.

And don't forget, while he was not a communist and probably wasn't even pro-communist, Eisenhower was definitely not anti-communist. Read, for example, Operation Keelhaul, The East Came West, The Politician, Background to Betrayal: The Tragedy of Vietnam, Cuba Betrayed, The Fourth Floor, The Actor, etc.

Ah, isn't that sweet. He's listing all the books he's ever read in his conservative life. You forgot to include "Mein Kampf."

Hey, man, if sterotypes didn't exist, about 3/4 of all good jokes in the world would suck!

Ahh omfg a Republican!

Really, what's so bad about being one as long as you're not some fanatic?

I never read Mein Kampf.

Alansyists, I hope you know you're the reason i started this thread.

I never read Mein Kampf.

Ok then you read the equivalent:

"The way things ought to be" - Rush Fatbaugh

I'm honored

Sorry, Alansyists, but I'm not a Rush Lim- er, Fatbaugh (lol) fan, either.

Not all Republicans are Bushites!
Not all Democrats are George Soroses!

I think that just about sums it up

This statement:

Run like the little girls you are.

Proves you are what you claim you're not in this statement:

Some of us AREN'T assholes.


Not only are you an asshole, but a Republican asshole to boot.

http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761555843/Joseph_McCarthy.html

McCarthy was never "censured." Condemned, yes, but not censured. And he uncovered plenty of communists, including, but not limited to: Owen Lattimore, Haldore Hanson, Gustavo Duran, Irving Peress, Mary Jane Keeney, John Carter Vincent, Victor Perlo, etc.

Oh nooooo..

You not a following of the pretend blond witch are you?

Senetor Joe is a great american hero now is he? :eek:

The question of whom did he hurt is crap. It is what he did.

McCarthyism is the use of intimidation and unfounded accusations in the name of fighting communism. Let's not forget the fact that the communist party was not illegal in the US.

McCarthyism was the presumption of guilt instead of innocence, and the idea of guilt by association.

Truman's Federal Employee Loyalty Program prevented openly criticizing American foreign policy, advocating equal rights for women, owning books on socialism, and attending foreign films; these clearly contradict the principles on which America was formed.

For a name how about Alger Hiss? Graduate of Harvard Law and who had served as the `New' Dealer under Roosevelt(I know he is your favorite ;) ) and had even gone to Yalta as a member of Roosevelt's staff.

To the average American, the `New' Deal seemed similar to Communism in several ways: they were to uplift the masses, they were against lassaiz-faire and for economic controls, and they both questioned the traditional ways. These, along with the fact that the US helped Russia in the WWII under FDR helped link Communism and `New' Dealism in the common man. Once llinked, it was easy to come to the conclusion that FDR and the `New' Deal must have conspired to convert America to Communism! Hiss symbolized, to the American public, the `New' Deal and all that went with it.

Nixon, HUAC, and the American people were desperately looking for someone to blame for this conspiracy, and Hiss was that person. Dubious proof was found, in a pumpkin patch, and he was finally found guilty of perjury.

McCarthy was not dedicated to finding Communists in America. He was abmvialent to it them before he had to run for re-election.

McCarthy was really looking for `New' Dealers, not only because the public already had negative feelings about them, but because it would keep his party in power in government and recapture lost congressional power.

McCarthy even tried to declare the Army was filled with communists. He tried to arrange preferential treatment for one of his friends but the Army kep a record of the calss he made and then later released them. He got pissed and the Army-McCarthy hearings started. People finally woke up to this "great" american as they watched his brutishness and rashness.

Joeseph Welch showed that McCArthy had a photo altered to make it look like the Secretary of the Army meeting with the haed of the Communist party(Guilt by association).

McCarthy produced a forged hoax of a letter from J. Edgar Hooever that confirmed there were communists in high places of the army.

Finally the dope tried to attack Eisenhower "Twenty, I mean twenty one years of treason"

It all ended with those imortal words

"Until this moment Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

McCarthyism did nothing for america in fact it hurt it. The morale in the State Department and Army suffered. This lead young educated people, the best and the brightest, not to go into government, which was left with second rate leaders who were more loyal than they were intelligent. An example is that the China Hands , who were experts on Eastern politics, were dismissed and replaced with people who told their superiors only what they wanted to hear. This lead to the mistakes made during the Chinese revolution. Other problems appeared in Korea and Viet Nam.

A lasting effect of McCarthyism was that the presidents, including Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Reagan, did not want to seem "soft on communism," so they took the drastic step of supporting any group in power in any country that was against communism.

You are a truely brave man, trying to reason with the asshat leftist on this site.

You wouldn't be Toxic now would you?

Sorry that seems strange but if you are the person I know.......

:D Why is it that every yank rightwinger has "friends who happen to be gay" ?
