I remember learning about McCarthy in freshman history class. I’m sad to say I believed him to be a loonie, but good lord he was right.

The commies overrun Hollywood and they’re amongst us in our government.

I’m sorry for ever making a joke at McCarthy’s expense.

That's exactly how we were taught to see him too (I'm in Canada): as deranged. That kind of falls apart once you realize he was right. I feel bad for not knowing the truth for so long.

The indoctrination in our schools have been going on a long time. Your kids are in worse classes now than you were.
