What would Senator Joe McCarthy have to say about todays Congress?

Question

I know what I believe, what do you believe?

Answer 1

Probably something similar to his "Enemies from Within" speech on 2/5/50:

The great difference between our western Christian world and the atheistic Communist world is not political, gentlemen, it is moral. For instance, the Marxian idea of confiscating the land and factories and running the entire economy as a single enterprise is momentous. Likewise, Lenin’s invention of the one-party police state as a way to make Marx’s idea work is hardly less momentous.

Stalin’s resolute putting across of these two ideas, of course, did much to divide the world. With only these differences, however, the east and the west could most certainly still live in peace.

The real, basic difference, however, lies in the religion of immoralism . . . invented by Marx, preached feverishly by Lenin, and carried to unimaginable extremes by Stalin. This religion of immoralism, if the Red half of the world triumphs—and well it may, gentlemen—this religion of immoralism will more deeply wound and damage mankind than any conceivable economic or political system.

Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity. The modern champions of communism have selected this as the time, and ladies and gentlemen, the chips are down—they are truly down.

Ladies and gentlemen, can there be anyone tonight who is so blind as to say that the war is not on? Can there by anyone who fails to realize that the Communist world has said the time is now? . . . that this is the time for the show-down between the democratic Christian world and the communistic atheistic world?

Unless we face this fact, we shall pay the price that must be paid by those who wait too long.

Answer 2

He and his committee have been afraid of the Russian/communist invasion. that could desire to signify that he may be investigating a majority of the democrat occasion beginning with the management in Congress and extremely Hillary along with her socialized healthcare. pass examine slightly extra unrevised, non-laptop historic past approximately McCarthy and you will extra helpful understand why your question might desire to be approximately democrats and not Bush.
