Joseph Raymond McCarthy, America owes you an apology

You saw this Antifa/BLM communist coup d'e tat in the making and tried to warn an indifferent nation as to what nefarious activities were long in the making.
We should have listened and took heed.
You were right.

No doubt. The Verona papers confirmed this. But it is a true tragedy that he wasn't able to finish the job. Look at what became of education and media, just since the 1960s.

He wouldn't have survived this. He'd have stroked out by now. And understandably so.

Care to drop a few names? He never falsely accused anyone of being a member of the Communist party. Lives were ruined for refusing to testify and that's on them. Then, like now, the media, academia, the govt, and the entertainment industry were infested with Communists.
The "witch hunt" BS is a myth. Always has been. But you probably watched Trumbo on HBO and think that you know everything about it.

Ah yes the godfather of American political witch hunts. We owe him immensely!

McCarthy’s legacy has been relentlessly assaulted by those who wish to destroy his legacy. When I was in college I had a professor who frequently attached his name to the House Committee on Un-American activities, and she was by no means the only one who has done so. He was a senator, and I don’t think I need to explain to anyone that senators cannot sit on house committees. He had nothing to do with HUAC, it was founded before he was ever elected. And what’s more, rather than tar and feather anyone even associated with communism, he gave a famous speech in front of the senate where he waved his infamous list of communist sympathizers embedded into all facets of our cultural life and said that he would NOT release the contents of that list because he believed falsely accusing even one innocent patriot would be more detrimental to our nation than rounding up every guilty party. McCarthy was one of the best men to hold office since the founding fathers, and anyone who says otherwise has a vision for this nation that is irreconcilable with mine.

The entire red scare and especially the emphasis on joe is a perfect example of communist gaslighting. “He discovered communists in the state department and wanted to oust them, the horror!” They study other political movements for one reason only, to find their weaknesses and bring them down to pave the way for their own murderous ideology. As a general rule of thumb it’s actually pretty safe to assume that when you hear them espousing something you should, by default, take the opposite stance unless you desire to see them triumph. Our enemy is a master of subversion and that is not limited to political ideology. Every aspect of our culture is under assault, we are fighting a war on multiple fronts

And just in case anyone is wondering, the overwhelming majority of his actual list were proven to have ties to domestic or foreign communist organizations. If you want to hear someone who will set the record straight, go to YouTube and listen to what Yuri Bezmenov has to say. He worked in the propaganda department of the KGB and defected to the west. What he alleges is real and is happening right in front of your eyes. If we don’t wake up soon we are doomed. These people want violence. They want dissent cowed into silence and they’re willing to dox you and ruin your life to do it. I pray to the lord above there are enough good men left to fight them, because I truly believe that’s where this is all headed. Not tomorrow, but it’s on the horizon and we are on a collision course with it

McCarthy was a patriot from the great state of WI.
Wish I could vote for him today.

He was fricking Nostradamus - Hell, witches couldn’t do as much damage as progressivism.

Yes, one of the biggest mistakes the country ever made was not taking his warnings more seriously. Heck, for proof just look at who is trying to trash him in this thread. That tells you all you need to know right there

Seems like this struggle has no middle ground, are you choosing to become a victim or victor?

Plug for the afternoon crowd.

Ann Coulter's book 'Treason' is a great read on McCarthy. The footnote documentation is about 30 pages long.

Wrong. They were communists. The documents have been released. Read before you post and look stupid.

JFC.
Yes, the racist, alcoholic madman who may be responsible for the largest abuse of power scheme in congressional history — THAT’S who we should emulate.
Why? Because liberals are being aggressive. On Twitter.

Always good for the people who need to be in camps to self-identify.
