You must be over a Hundred , congratulations.
Too bad you were not reading when you were 30.
"Joseph McCarthy was an American politician who served as a United States Senator from Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. He is best known for his allegations of communist infiltration in the U.S. government "
I've known about McCarthy for a long time. I am actually now reading the book on him by M. Stanton Evans. What is your point?
Joe was 75 years ago and there are earlier examples that make your statement...questionable / oblivious / asleep / naive /ect.
And about that reading comprehension : "You must be over a Hundred , congratulations."
I'm 73 years old. My father was in the Navy during World War II. He was personally aware from fleet operations that FDR was engaging in war against Germany since October of 1941 (antisubmarine warfare). I basically was reading his publications from the John Birch Society, which was a pathbreaker for a Great Awakening. If you don't know that, your education is lacking.
The ethos in America as I was growing up was "we", not "them and us." Democrats were not demons. Governor Dixy Lee Ray in Washington was a foretaste of the Trump approach.
My reading comprehension is just fine. I learned to read before attending 1st grade. I don't quite know what insult you are insinuating. Reading comprehension in this country has gone downhill since I attended school.
Indeed , by design. But the infiltration had begun many decades prior to your fathers service.
(as an aside. I had extensive conversations with the Master Chief on a Heavy Cruiser stationed at Pearl in 1940 onward. "Often his Fleet Admirals Flag ship" . 3 days before Dec 7 they put to sea. He had not made any preparations and when he asked was told Destroyer integration practice and he would be told more when necessary. Sailed out 2 days then turned back and took up a moving holding pattern half a day sail back to port. " They Didn't want any landing to happening on the Islands")
