I was in short pants when Senator Joseph McCarthy was looking for
communist sympathizers. Most of my
opinions on the matter were formed after reading about it in history
books. Then it dawned on me, the history
books were written by the very communist sympathizers McCarthy was trying to
expose; the left runs the public schools and places of higher learning. McCarthy was painted as some kind of lunatic
out on a witch hunt; hence the term “McCarthyism” represents any lunatic fringe
questioning of the way things are.
According to an article published on the Washington Post’s Political website, during the McCarthy hearings, “the Army’s lawyer Joseph Welch once
asked of McCarthy, “Have you no sense of decency?”’ A proper response to that question would have
been, “Sir, when it comes to defending the United States from enemies, foreign
or domestic, I leave no stone unturned.”
As it turns out Joseph McCarthy was correct, at least in
part, and our government had been infiltrated by communists, enough to make
them a viable threat to our constitutional republic. Henry Lamb, rest in peace, wrote a series of
articles entitled, Global Governance , where he explained what
was going on during the Cold War.
“The dream
of world dominance is not, nor has it ever been, the pursuit by an exclusive cadre of
conspirators. The dream has been held by many different factions -- often simultaneously -- always in competition with one another. By 1950, at least
three major forces -- all competing for world dominance -- were clearly
identified. Each of the three major forces worked overtly and covertly to
achieve their objectives.
The Soviet Union had clearly defined its Marx/Lenin/Stalin
version of Communism. Its systematic program
of expansionism -- including an active organization in the United States
-- fully intended to bring all the world under its control. So confident
were the Soviets of their eventual success that, on his 1959 tour of the U.S., Nikita Kruschchev pounded his shoe on a podium before the television
cameras and declared to America:
“We will bury you!”
America would have no part of a world under Communist rule.
Senator Joseph McCarthy led a crusade against
Communists in America.
His campaign tarnished many non-communists but
was successful in rooting out Alger Hiss, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and
Morton Sobell, all convicted of espionage-related crimes.”
How far do we go when investigating
folks in our government, those in positions of critical trust, individuals who
are privy to sensitive information and hold sway over decision making
policy? Do we require a valid birth
certificate, proper background checks to validate claimed job histories or
advanced education? Is it a legitimate
roll of the vetting process to investigate an individual’s family, neighbors
and close associates since these people might have a direct influence on the
person considered for a security clearance?
(I bet a few thought I was referring to Obama; if the shoe fits…)
Michele Bachmann recently pointed
out a possible security breach, that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin has ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. “Have you no sense of
decency?”, wasn’t that the demeaning question the Army’s lawyer Joseph Welch’s directed at Joseph
McCarthy?
“These
attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis and no merit. And they need to stop
now,” (Senator John) McCain said on the Senate floor” as he attacked Bachmann
for having brought up such a clearly unsubstantiated personal attack on a
trusted member of our community.
It would be inexcusable to question the loyalty of a good Muslim member of
society; that is unless you understand that it’s perfectly okay to deceive your
enemies in order to advance Islam.
“It is impossible to understand Islam and Muslims
by listening to their protestations against terror and their proclamations of
patriotism for America.
Usually, it is wise and fair to give people the benefit of the doubt but when
it comes to national safety and the future of America, we had better look twice,
even thrice at Muslim patriotism. Why? Because Islam permits lying! It is
called “Al-taqiyya.” One Muslim said that Al-taqiyya means
dissimulation then he expanded it to diplomacy but he should have gone further
to deception. Now some Muslims who do not follow the Koran are as faithful
Americans as any of us, but the problem is, we cannot know.
It seems our President and his advisors are
clueless as to the desires, doctrines, and distinctives of Islam. While I feel
a little audacious in giving advice to national leaders, it is necessary since
no one else is doing it. Muslims lie not because they are liars by nature but
by choice. Systematic lying as a religious policy is deadly, and if our
politicians do not understand this, thousands could die.
Muslims lie when it is in their interest to do so
and “Allah” will not hold them accountable for lying when it is beneficial to
the cause of Islam. They can lie without any guilt or fear of accountability or
retribution. A lie in the defense of Islam is approved even applauded in their
“holy” books.”
Getting back to the criticism directed at Michele Bachmann in the Washington
Post article, a few issues were brought up; but the one I found most
interesting had to do with radical Islam.
“Since Obama was elected in 2008, she has sounded
an alarm about the nonexistent threat of sharia law in the United States and supported the
birther movement.”
Isn’t that rich, some folks are concerned about a “nonexistent threat of sharia law in the United States”? Pay no attention to the man wearing the rag
on his head behind the curtain, “I am Oz, the great and powerful”.
“Police in the heavily Arab Detroit
suburb of Dearborn
say they arrested four Christian missionaries for disorderly conduct at an Arab
cultural festival. Police Chief Ron Haddad says his department made the arrests Friday. The four
are free on bond.”
{ …}
“The “disorderly conduct” consisted of handing out
copies of the Gospel of John outside the festival.”
We should be grateful folks like Michele Bachmann are not afraid to
ask difficult questions or to find out who has infiltrated positions of trust
and put our nation in harms way. If you
happen to get lumped in with Joseph McCarthy; well that’s not such a bad thing
if you consider the fact that old Joe was right.
