The REAL Attrocity of Vietnam...

Kinda have to wonder about wanting to fight communists on the other side of the planet when plenty of communists are within strolling distance of most Americans.

That ain't no lie there. That said, there weren't as many "commies/socialists" here at home 50 years ago as there are now.

Not sure about that. Also I don't think the average Dem does quite as much damage as Klaus Fuchs and the Rosenburgs. Giving Stalin the bomb was probably the greatest work of espionage by any foreign government in the 20th century. This led to the Chinese being able to develop their own atomic weapons in a very short time.

Yeah but the only saving grace (which wouldn't happen nowadays) was that the Rosenbergs were indeed executed for their treachery; no needle-prick-go-to-sleep thing either. They got FRIED! While it didn't undo what they had done, it was nice payback.

I think you're referring to foreign espionage, and your point is valid. I'm mainly referring to domestic issues and policy. I'll guarantee you the average Democrat of 1969 would view the crap espoused by a LARGE segment of today's Demo-Socialists as appalling, i.e. the policies they want to inflict on our country.

During all that, how many hard core communists were directly in government or controlling government behind the scenes. J. Edgar Hoover was hassling gays while being gay himself as a similar example so there is a strong possibility of a low hanging fruit/useful idiot/cannon fodder aspect to anything.
