Decades after the death of Senator Joseph R.

Hardly a month passes without some reference to "McCarthyism" in the print or electronic media. Despite the frequency with which the term is invoked, however, it is quite clear that not one critic of McCarthy in a hundred has the slightest idea of what he said and did during that controversial period from 1950 to 1954.
Whether Joe McCarthy was right or wrong, it is important that we know the truth about him.

I love it "a shell of a great country."
This is likely why the GOP would lose this election. People know that this country is indeed still pretty great, in fact, it's the best. These Republican candidates running around in a fabricated malaise moaning about how awful and terrible everything is really look pretty foolish.
At least most have stopped blaming the gays.

Seriously, watching these Republicans on the stump I'm wondering if the entire show was scripted by Dante himself.

I take it you don't have a problem with Obama apologizing to the world about America then. In his eyes were not the best and need fundamental change.
You also apparently have no problem with him saying America is the only country that has mass shootings , which is a complete lie
. Seeing how you and Obama see America through the same eyes. You clearly don't think America is the best .
You're gay statement offends me

More likely the GOP would lose because there are more Moochers, thanks for reminding me of the description, detbuch,than those who are ambitious , like to work, be independent, and support themselves.

This thread has been the usual really fine display of (what Eben would say is) liberals' superior intellect, objectivity, creativity, and critical thinking:
"Think it's divisive now? Trump is going to tear this country apart."
"Actually our country was founded by a bunch of migrants who crossed the Atlantic and mooched off of the people who had been here for a long time. They had zero interest into assimilating into their culture and systematically slaughtered as many as possible."
"Makes you think a bit.. No?"
"Like Mcarthyism"
"Why are Conservatives afraid of of everything thing and any one who is not like them!! That the Real threat to America"
"Pretty diverse is right. the spectrum of fear mongering and stupidity is broad."
"Don't worry, soon it will be back around to welfare recipients, then off to illegals again."
"Conservative world view is every Striped Bass is as a Fifty pounder because the scale is a democratic operative or works for the lame stream media .. truth and facts need not apply and the exception is always the rule"
"Your hero ?"
"These Republican candidates running around in a fabricated malaise moaning about how awful and terrible everything is really look pretty foolish."
"At least most have stopped blaming the gays."
"Seriously, watching these Republicans on the stump I'm wondering if the entire show was scripted by Dante himself."
"You've been saying that for some time."
"Fine by me. I can't stand her"
"I love it that you guys think Moochers who are on welfare and to lazy to find a Job actually take the time to find a poling station and Vote !!"
"Another made up bed time story The Right tells their followers"
How can a narrow minded, stupid, conservative respond to that display of brilliance? I guess just be entertained !!!!!!

Here's the thing, his outreach to the Muslim world didn't tell them anything they didn't already know. I think it was a bit of a surprise to many Americans though.
The mass shootings remark wasn't a lie. The context was that developed nations don't incur nearly what we do...and that's a fact.

Why do we need to fundamentally transform what is great? Is it not great enough? Not even in some basic sense? FUDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM? I guess greatness is in the eyes of the beholder. Maybe Obama and justplugit agree about something.
Maybe Eben would say that "great" is a buzzword of fools.

There are exponentially many more moochers in poverty that the very wealthy. And the wealthy pay most of the taxes from which everybody mooches. Even the very wealthy have a means to actually generate income than those in poverty.
And so what?
Apples and oranges. Different context.

Clearly it's not great or it wouldn't need to be transformed.
I had no idea my Country sucked so bad. This is going to take some time to process...

Lets start with what your definition, not Webster, of what you think greatness is.

this is correct...in a socialist sort of way....
Hitler’s speech on May 1, 1927
“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions”
