We proclaim ourselves the defenders of freedom but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. McCarthy's actions have caused alarm & dismay amongst our allies abroad & given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it β€” & rather successfully.

Cassius was right. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."
Good night & good luck.

@wa7iut Yeah - been awhile but I thought it was pretty good.

@BrianJopek he went to Washington State University (where I was an undergrad). They have the Edward Murrow College of Communication there now.
