Ole Joe McCarthy Just Won't Die!

Life is about patterns and circles. Patterns of behavior, and the social circles prompting that behavior.

By Rich Kozlovich 

It's strange after all these years and all the vilification, some deserved, that's been heaped on Joe McCarthy while he was alive and after he died, he's still an issue with a lot of writers and history buffs....especially of the conservative persuasion.... where unlike Howard Zinn, Nikole Hannah-Jones and Kerri K. Greenidge, facts and actual history matter to them.

 On June 30th I published this piece I'm Sorry, But Joe McCarthy Was Right! I started out saying:

Yesterday Susan Quinn post this article over at American Thinker, Do we need another Joe McCarthy?, which must have made leftists heads explode.  She went on to answer her question saying:  The short answer to the title is a no! But, aspects of McCarthy’s anti-communist campaign are worth considering when the stability of our nation is jeopardized by communist ideologues. 

Her article is well worth reading, however, I will say perhaps her short answer should be re-evaluated.  The controversy surrounding Joe McCarthy involved his character, and at best, he was not a nice person, subject to lying and making unsubstantiated accusations.   In spite of the Hollywood crowd's rants about McCarthyism, he wasn't the one who went after Hollywood.  That was the Democrats in the House on UN-American Activities Committee, which was the:

"U.S. House of Representatives investigative committee active from 1938 to 1975 that targeted alleged subversion, Communist ties, and UN-American propaganda. It became a permanent standing committee in 1945, was renamed the Internal Security Committee in 1969, and was dissolved in 1975".   

That was before Democrats became the Party of Treason.  I recommend reading the linked article, you will find it interesting.  The question everyone should be asking is why these communists were trying to hide? The answer is simple.  If they were active party members they were required to act as Stalin's Soviet agents working and spying against the United States.  

McCarthy's committee was in the Senate and his focus was on communist infiltration of the government.  While he didn't have the proof for many of his claims, the fact is the intelligence agencies did, we know that for sure with the release of the VENONA intercepts, and McCarthy .... in an overall way.... was right.  Perhaps the Senate needs to re-evaluate the worth of another such committee.  

In my article I went into a deeper explanation about all of that and how the Roosevelt administration was the most infiltrated government in history.   

On July 26th the Canada Free Press published this piece by Ray DiLorenzo,  McCarthy Was Right, saying:

There were and still are domestic enemies in the form of Marxists ready to devour our great nation. This time let's not worry about whose feelings we hurt.......Senator McCarthy is best known for his post-war struggle to make America aware that under Democrat administrations communists had infiltrated our institutions, including the United States government and our entire education system. Now, even the Smithsonian has succumbed to this infection........

Let's be clear, the search for card-carrying communists in our government was not a witch hunt. It was and should remain a legitimate pursuit of those who are actively engaged in destroying our system of government, eliminating our middle class, and creating an underclass of people subservient to an autocratic, oligarchic, privileged few....... Only this time the battle has widened. Communism and Islam have merged. They are using each other to eliminate their mutual enemies: Christianity, freedom, and the West.

The Rosenbergs were executed for passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union, and the left railed against that.  But... as I said.... information gathered from the VENONA intercepts is what got them caught.  Information they didn't share with the rest of the government or the courts.  The author expands on this saying:

Among the more infamous, Alger Hiss, a Soviet spy who worked for Presidents Roosevelt and Truman in the State Department, and communists Julius Rosenberg, a U.S. Army Signal Corps engineer under Truman, along with his wife Ethel Rosenberg, were convicted of passing military and nuclear technology to the Soviets and acting as recruiters. They were executed in 1953. These cases demonstrate that Democrats repeatedly failed to eliminate Soviet infiltration from their ranks.

Liberals, of course, defended the Rosenbergs. Books were written in their defense. One such book, written in 1983, The Rosenberg File, believed in their innocence and, like many other liberals, condemned the leaving of two small children with no parents. Later, when presented with the evidence, they changed their mind. The book is still available, but with a rewritten foreword.

Khrushchev, having died in 1971, previously dictated over 300 hours of memoirs on two sets of reel-to-reel audiotape. The original set was confiscated, but his son, Sergei, made two copies of each reel and gave them to others for safekeeping. The final blow occurred in 1999 with the release of Nikita Khrushchev's complete memoirs. Khrushchev was heard praising the Rosenbergs for their effort to bring nuclear bomb technology to the Soviet people.  

If McCarthy's personal character had been more stable, and if he had gone about his investigation professionally I've often wondered what the outcome would have been.   As it is now, this latest Marxist transformation along with their Islamic allies, including elected officials in Congress, aren't trying to hide who they are, what they are, and what their goals are.  They're openly declaring they're Marxists, and they're demanding the end of the Constitution and the imposition of Soviet style tyranny.  

When Netanyahu asked what most concerned him about America he answered:

 "I'm worried about the reasons that leading Democrats have said privately – one of them said it actually publicly – on why they joined the radical fringe,"...... "And the reason is that their family's been harassed, that they're afraid of being tailed everywhere and being intimidated by this radical fringe."

Violence, threats and intimidation has always been the trend of these radicals, and if the polls are right, 29% of the population finds that acceptable, 38% finds that unacceptable and 45% doesn't care.  But among the Democrat/Independent cabal, 61% think they have a place in the Democrat party.  And we're shocked..... Right?
