We should be skeptical of ANY government agency. That does NOT mean UNDERMINE them! That includes the Presidency, but, when the President undermines our democracy, as Trump does daily, skeptics SHOULD question every move!

I am, but when I see that they are doing their job ... like the FBI ... I'm happy. When I see one going astray, like the Congressional committee that wrote the Republican "memo" my skepticism rises!

The right used to hunt the left down and ruin their careers with full government approval.

I saw you parrot Trump earlier when you used the word "Mcarthyism". Do you know where the origins of that word come from? Why don't you look it up, come back and tell us?

I have come to accept your absurdities to be part of the upside down Nazi language which somehow has been resurrected back into existence in America.

The funny thing is, McCarthy was totally right. Commies everywhere!

Of course, he was ridiculed into being nothing but a joke to the people who are... surprise surprise... pushing for communism... socialism... whatever.

Actually, McCarthy isn't even all that special, but he was totally right about the commies, and it made him into a laughing stock.

Pepe, you should go back to where the Tzars come from. You don't like it here, you don't BELONG here. I pegged you as a "Putinbot" a long time ago, my mind hasn't changed AT ALL.

We are talking about the modern left that exists today not the ancient right that you have to read about in history books.

Are you stupid?

Read the title.

"Used to be" is past tense.

Or an idea of the ancient right that has been pushed on to the people by the very ones that ancient right was trying to warn us about.

The left is full of commies, they have been totally infiltrated. It should be obvious. They even had a socialist run in their primaries as a way to gauge how ready people were for it. Apparently, people are really down for it.

Why is "McCarthyism" a thing? Because it's really easy to shut down one man, and it isn't as easy to shut down a web of conspiracy consisting of people who are trained in the art of plausible deniability.

Blame the right.

Oh, that's how you do it. Get a large group of people, homogenize them into a demographic, and then prejudge based on the stereotypes. Someone way up there is probably trying really hard to separate the sheep from the goats.

Identity politics is garbage and unAmerican in spirit I say. Party politics is garbage and unAmerican in spirit I say. Left/Right politics is garbage and unAmerican in spirit I say. This is a nation of independents, and these this side or that sides are there to enslave us!
