McCarthyism: The REAL Face of America


For all the bloviating about liberty and freedom and their mission to export democracy, Joseph McCarthy is endemic of the real America. The America that interred its Japanese immigrants and promoted the African Slave Trade long after the majority of the civilized world had acknowledged the inherent evil of it.

I say this as a capitalist and free trade advocate: what America does and is has little to do with any true definition of freedom.

Different political beliefs? You will be attacked. Different religious beliefs? You will be attacked. Immigrant? You will be attacked. Homosexual? You will be attacked.

Deviate from the “norm” in anyway whatsoever? You. Will. Be. Attacked.
