The term ‘McCarthyism’ is so passé’

It has been debunked.

Check out Venona recently released declassified KGB and US Army intelligence reports

American politicians on Soviet payroll in exchange for technology secrets.

We now know that McCarthy was completely correct.
Everyone that he said was a Soviet agent was INDEED a Soviet agent.


For you kids out there in college and studying political science, do your research on Venona.

Then run this by your professor to see if they are intellectually honest.

Warning---It is strongly suggested that you wait until course completion and you have your final grade in hand before you submit this.

You know how a liberal can get when faced with facts that completely undermines their believe system. They get mean, nasty and vicious.

And to think they have college courses titled ‘McCarthyism and the Salem Witch Trials’

Gary Carroll - You are way overstating the VENONA results and what can be verified from them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venona_project

To claim that VENONA justifes the paranoia and recklessness of McCarthy and his accolyte is just ridiculous.

And, of course, VENONA has nothing to do with Dr. Mann.

Paranoia?

Let me get this right.

You think Joseph McCarthy was just paranoia?

Even though we now know there was indeed a concerted effort by the communists in obtaining American technology secrets?

We now know there were dozens of American politicians on Soviet payroll to assist in this transfer of high technology (That incidentally paved the way for much of our manufacturing base to move to communist countries) along with our factory jobs.

And you call that paranoia?

We NOW know that everyone that McCarthy said was a Soviet agent was INDEED a Soviet agent on Soviet payroll to defraud the USA and steal our technology.

And you call that paranoia?

It has now become very clear ---the liberal has lost the ‘survival gene’.
You guys defiantly have a screw lose.

The liberal just shrugs it off—and says –Oh that’s OK—
So what if America’s technological secrets were sold or given to communists countries.
Of course along with our technological edge, inventions, manufacturing base
AND OUR JOBS

But that’s OK by the liberal.

At no time in anyone's living memory has science been so villified. (Scopes was just an unco-ordinated regional aberration). I could understand it if it was all down to religious superstition but America's suicidal AGW trajectory is being forced by commercial interests. The same interests unleashed by SCOTUS to become majority shareholders in the US polity.

There is nothing new about any of this unfortunately. Twenty years ago I was reading about a teacher who gave a girl a C in her English class. The parents sued her. Then they said that they would investigate her entire past life and rake up everything she ever did. So she gave the brat an A.

These are the kind of people who are ruining our country. If you don't like what someone says, attack them, sue them, intimidate them. But never, ever, question your own assumption that "obeying the rules is for the little people" and that the world owes you a living.

The trouble is in large part because freaking fools are too often elected to national office.

These law makers are nothing more than the puppets of industry - especially now post citizens united they are ever more they are but employed not by the people, but by the special interests.
