#1 Centralization and concentration of power has been their goal all along. The State can never be too big enough for them. They chased out the classical liberals several generations ago but wear their skins to hide their totalitarian proclivities.

#2 My impression has always been that FDR, JFK and Clinton were communists. Don't forget LBJ. Carter was just a fool.

#3 Here's the deal: Joe Stalin gave communism a bad name so they stuck to calling themselves Democrats after WWII. But nobody remembers Stalin anymore and now I think they've gotten so brazen that they're probably OK with letting the world know what they really are.

#4 Read about the Venona Intercepts if you want to understand the levels of deep penetration of the US Government by the ComIntern and Soviet NKVD/GRU/KGB agents dating as far back as the mid 1930's.

So what do we know 67 years later? For one thing, that McCarthy actually underestimated the number of American Soviet spies working for the USSR in the FDR administration. It took a while, but in 1994 NSA and CIA released 190,000 formerly classified cablegrams they, and their predecessor agencies, intercepted from 1943 to 1980. The number of American Soviet agents identified from Venona has reached 500, more than double the 205 McCarthy predicted — as researchers have decrypted only ten percent of the documents thus far.

Most of the spies named so far are well known: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Alger Hiss, whom the left maintained were victims of American imperialism, are now proved guilty. Assistant U.S. Treasurer Harry Dexter White, now deceased, who became head of the World Bank; and Lauchlan Currie, highly placed in the President’s office; and hundreds more placed in every Cabinet level organization in the U.S. government.

#5 ^ McCarthy was right, but the wagon train just moved on like nothing happened.
