Sure people in Iran love American culture, but not their leaders and those with the guns that protect the regime.
Sure people in the former USSR loved "Elvis," coca-cola, blue jeans, etc but their leaders at the time liked being in charge of them more.
The same can be said of North Korea, China and even Iraq under Saddam. People like our western culture, hell even Al Qai'da deep down likes our culture of porn, music, booze, etc despite it being counter to their so-called utopia.
The 9/11 hijackers got hookers, drugs and gambled months up to their "jihad" because deep down they are full of shit....but does that make them any less dangerous? No, but liberals ignore these facts out of stupidity or they intend on letting outsiders bring down our culture via force.
Libs going back to the Soviet revolution have tried to undermine our society, but they would have you believe McCarthy was full of shit. He reached with some of his claims but he wasn't wrong on many others.
So when you see or hear a liberal telling you to not worry about Al Qai'da or their fellow communists....they're full of shit.
First off... McCarthy was full of shit. There was a threat... as there is now, of Communists, terrorists and the boogeyman that no one knows. That is the price of living in a FREE society. Which is why we have FREE elections and a Constitution. I know... you Conservatards think that anything proposed by a Democrat is treason... but the truth is... This country is very much a hybrid of Capitalistic and Socialistic philosophies.
Neither total Capitalism Nor total Socialism is a good thing. We saw what total Capitalism can do in the Robber baron days of the Early Industrial Revolution. People were working for slave wages for 80 hour/week and still not having a pot to piss in. On the other hand, we can see what Total Socialism(and it's more extreme cousin.. Communism) can do.
What MADE America unique was our ability to force the two opposing forces to tolerate each other. But that tolerance seems to be tested at the moment with the Tea Party thrown into the mix.
Let me just say this... most of those Tea Party people have no idea what they are asking for. MOST of them are people who work for other people(or companies). What are they gonna do if it's deemed OK to pay them $5/hour for their work and demands that they work 60 hours/ week to be considered full time?
Those are the types of things that happen when you "deregulate". Those types of things are what brought us labor unions. Do you REALLY think that Big Business and Industry won't try to go back to those heady days of slave wages, long hours and perhaps even company stores and company script(look it up)?
Yes... there are a lot of honest businessmen out there.... But there are also a lot of scumbags, and if you are desperate for a job... the scumbags will always be hiring, qand the decent ones won't.
McCarthy said there were real Soviets spies and Soviet sympathizer employed at US State and he was 100% right
