Bloggem Article The Enemy Within

19 June 2002

Ed Offley at DefenseWatch details the threat at home. Not only is al Quaeda able to operate in the US, but they are also successful at recruiting American citizens for their cause.

While Liberals at the New York Times and elsewhere, are wringing their hands about a new "McCarthyism," this Newshound would like to remind them of a few conservative beliefs that were confirmed after the fall of the Soviet Union:

  • The Soviet threat was in fact real. Declassified documents show how the Soviets were busy infiltrating the US government at all levels throughout the entire Cold War.
  • The Soviet Union did in fact fund and control liberal groups in Europe, and to a lesser extent, in the US.
  • Alger Hiss was a spy, Julius Rosenberg was a spy and the founders of the U.N. included US officials in service to the Soviets.
  • Contrary to the hand wringing by liberals, the FBI was not responsible for miscarriages of justice carried out during the Cold War. Congressmen — eager to make political gains — were responsible for injustices committed out of zeal to root out communists. These congressmen included two Kennedy's. McCarthy was the leader; however, he did not and could not have acted alone.

Contrary to whatever the Times tells us, Americans should not be afraid to root out the threat within.
