McCarthy was a true hero. He uncovered the fundamental reason why we are where we are today in the US - Godless communists. Diana West's "American Betrayal" is required reading for every American! Peace.
I agree. America's legacy of lies about communism has led to where we are today. "American Betrayal" by Diana West makes very enlightening reading. Another book I recommend is "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism" by Paul Kengor, PhD. It provides an in-depth look at past and present-day communism in the U.S.
I recently, before reading this piece, became aware of the fact that what I learned about McCarthyism in school was a total lie designed to deny the rampant infiltration by the US government by communists (which continues to this day) intent on undermining the interests of the USA. After reading the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, which was intended as an allegory about the Red Scare, I was convinced that the McCarthy hearings were a witch trial. How easily we are lulled into believing the one true narrative.
For additional reading on this topic, I recommend "Blacklisted by History" and "Stalin's Secret Agents" by M. Stanton Evans. I also recommend "American Betrayal" by Diana West and "Dupes" by Paul Kengor, PhD. One of these books, I think it may have been "Dupes" or possibly "American Betrayal," contained information about "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller indicating the author was a communist or communist supporter. A quick search online indicates the playwright Arthur Miller was questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956 and convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to identify others present at meeting he had attended. More insidiously, many Hollywood producers and screenwriters have long aimed to put a bit of communist ideology into every film to gradually indoctrinate Americans into thinking the totalitarian ideology is okay.
Great post. The people who believe it was only the "Red Scare" need a red pill.
Individuals accused of being Communists indeed turned out to be card-carrying members of the Communist party, supporters of Stalin, who were determined to destroy the American culture and government and replace it totalitarianism.
Many of the people investigated by McCarthy were eventually found to be Soviet agents or U.S. communists with sworn oaths of loyalty to Russia. The Communist Party USA required all of its members to swear loyalty to Communist International based in Moscow in order to become a card-carrying members of their organization at that time. As opposed to the disinformation in biased history books, McCarthy was careful not to accuse anyone of being a communist or Soviet agent until his committee conducted a careful investigation. In the usual case, he did not name any names in order to protect suspects' reputations while they were being investigated. "Blacklisted by History" by M. Stanton Evans provides many interesting details like these.
