Going on 55 years after the fact, there is a reason why Senator Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin is still routinely and publicly vilified the way he is.   The same is true for President Nixon almost 35 years after the fact.

It is also quite obvious that these 2 individuals are not the only 2 politicians that have ever come along that could be characterized as representing the worst from amongst us – at least – in some people’s eyes.

For instance, there are various politicians that belong to the extreme left that could also most easily be nominated for such honors - and - justifiably so!

Yet, we never really hear that much about them – surely not 30 and 50 years after the fact.

That leads one to wonder why it is that these 2 men must be singled out for that august honor?

[Maybe, just maybe they were so very close to the truth; and, that they were acting in a truly patriotic fashion.   Wouldn’t that be something if in fact that was the real truth!   I humbly submit that such a thing is in fact the truth.]

Along this same line of reasoning --- what if such a negative characterization is totally wrong and false?   Then what?!  

Equally disturbing, what if the average citizen could really care less; and likewise, that they could so easily be suckered in by such false characterizations – especially without even taking the time to investigate it for themselves?   

But then, let us consider something else.   Every President, Congressman, and Senator takes an oath before assuming his or her duties.  

And, part of that oath is that they swear before God – YES GOD of all things! – to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies – foreign AND DOMESTIC!

So apparently, our founding fathers seemed to think that there could be enemies of our country right within our country – NOT from foreign elements that entered into our country – BUT RATHER – from unpatriotic elements that would be found from within our very own population itself.

OH – PERISH SUCH A THOUGHT!!!!!!!

Every citizen has the right to think, believe, and do whatever it is that they want – RIGHT?! – at least according to today’s standards.

WRONG!!!!! – at least according to our founding fathers.  

And, that is why they put that phrase into that oath of office.   At some point in time, one actually does become an enemy of their own country by not being faithful to its doctrines – in other words – not patriotic.   And, that is not too far removed from what is happening today right before our eyes!

And for them [our founding fathers], that does make a little sense – after all – they knew what they were talking about.   I do seem to remember something about the actions of an individual called Benedict Arnold – don’t you?!

To bad our elected officials today do not pay that close of attention to those words as they publicly speak those words when they take their oath of office.  

It sure seems that they do not want to be really bothered by such an inconvenience like acting and actually being patriotic as they fight for, promote, guard, and defend the purity of those doctrines of our country.  

What is more, one has to have an understanding of such things before they can really or actually fulfill the functions of their office – don’t you agree?

Might there be just a tad bit of hypocrisy within the liberal camp?!    

The biggest mistake that John McCain made – along with ever so many other Americans – is not to remember that by and large that the Democratic Party of today is not the same thing as the Democratic Party of years gone by.

To get an idea of what I am getting at, remember what was happening in the 1960’s and early 1970’s.  

When John McCain went off to war, the Democratic Party primarily displayed one type of ideology.   Yet by the time that he came back, that same Democratic Party was in essence – no more.   That political party had infact been hijacked by quite a foreign ideology.

To get an idea of what I am talking about, all one has to do is to remember that thuggish street gang called the Black Panthers, the SDS, the anti-war movement, our cities burning, and all the killings that were occuring during the late 1960's and early 1970's – AND BY ALL MEANS – we must also remember the 1968 Democratic National Convention which was held in Chicago of all places.   By 1972, the take over of the DNC had been accomplished. 

So thus since then, the DNC has been pretty much controlled by the extreme left element within America.   To see just one sign of that take over – all one has to do is to look at what the Church Commission did.

If one looks at it with a fair and open mind, one will have to admit that the DNC of today is nothing like the DNC back in the 1950’s and 1940’s.

Unfortunately, John McCain [and, all too many Americans] do not take that into account when they view life within America.   That is why they feel that they have to play Mr. Nice Guy.   They think that we are just one big happy family.  

 BUT THE SAD TRUTH IS – WE MOST DEFINITELY ARE NOT!

There is a MAJOR fight, a MAJOR battle for the very soul of America.   And, ever so many people are not or do not want to be aware of that fact.      

Let’s see now.   We have a massive takeover of the entire economy by the government.   Of course, everyone wants to label it “bail out” or what ever.

But in fact, it is nothing more than socialism or something far worse.

Could it be that the people that really want America to be a socialist nation [or, their friends or even our enemies from around the world] actually be the ones that caused the problem to begin with?  

What better way is there to get what you want than to create the problem in the first place.   The results are almost automatically assured.  

After all, it all fits in real good with the Marxist theories of social activism and change – namely – thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.

And of course, us dumb Americans would never really know or care about such foolish knowledge, seeing as we are so busy with enjoying life, being entertained – or at the very least [and, probably far more accurate for the vast majority of us] having to work those long hours just to make the ends meet!

Yet, there is something to that rat race that we all are having to run - I call it "economic slavery."   All of this stuff just does not happen by chance.   But, that is a completely different topic.

Suffice it to say that it seems that the ones who created the problems to begin with sure do know how to blame someone else.   We saw it with the 9-11 investigation as they conveniently forgot to mention how the Church Commission actually gutted our ability to spy on our enemies which in turn created the reason why we were so blind sided by the terrorists to begin with!

More times than not, the Congress itself is the problem – yet – they somehow always seem to be able to blame everyone and everything else.

I saw my son over Christmas.   He made a statement that made perfectly good sense to me; and so, I must share it with you.

"Litigating the country to death" was the statement that he made - referring to all the court cases that are literally flooding the country, their causes, etc.

You know something, how true that is.  

If there was any sense of peace and harmony within America, what need would we have to have so many legal battles about everything - to even include about putting the nativity scene up at Christmas?
