You cannot be serious! McCarthy was completely bat-poo insane! While he was on his evil little ego trip, many peoples' lives were destroyed by false accusations of communist sympathies. If you didn't like someone, all you had to do was call them a communist, and they were screwed. No evidence was required, accusation was all it took.
That is NOT something that happens in a free country.
I am prepared to accept the possibility that a few actual communists were caught under McCarthyism, but that was pure luck more than anything else. The majority were falsely accused and convicted on little or no evidence.
By the way, I'm a high school dropout from New Zealand. Does it embarrass you that I have a better understanding of your country's history than you do? Because it should.

The founding fathers wanted a republic not a democracy. History shows us that democracies have fallen one right after another...after another...after another. Where as a republic can easily last 3X as long. Also, you won't see the majority 'sticking it to' the minority as much as in a democracy. Have you ever realized we hide behind the phrase "representative democracy.'? What in the Hell does that mean?
*NOTE* That is VERY TRUE:The USA was founded mainly by deists

McCarthy primarily went after Communist Jews.
So I'm still safe.

Actually Joe McArthy didn't do such a great job - even though he was right about atheists infiltrating society (Did you know the ACLU was founded by a communist? Look it up...) he didn't do a good job of eradicating the soviet and socialist influence in our society.

I'm still trying to figure out if you are a troll trying to make Christians look bad, or a troll trying to make atheists feel like they are being persecuted. Or both. Regardless, I hope you enjoy yourself.

Kind of like the way Reverend Ted Haggard preaches on the evils of drug use and homosexuality.

it is a extremely small subset; there are Muslim creationists, a lifelike quantity of them in Turkey, some greater backyard-type creationists in England, Australia, and New Zealand.
