Have you ever seen the list of goals of the Communist Party USA, which was entered into the Congressional Record on January 10, 1963?
Take a look at them. It is alarming, even frightening, to see what they have been doing while we thought everything was normal.
You ridicule the House Un-American Activities Committee. This committee was strongly supported by Democrats when Democrats were still loyal Americans. I believe the HUAC should be re-activated because they were right the first time.
