If you want us a take you seriously, you should definitely not blatantly and liberally(no pun intended) use ludicrous stereotypes. I haven't even heard of some of this crap - sources, please?
I could just as easily say Conservative argument contains few tenets - free speech is evil, unions are evil, homosexuality is evil, abortion is evil, Bill Clinton is incredibly evil - and everything else shrinks or expands to fit. Same logic.(Don't try to find the logic in it. Liberal argument contains a few tenets--conservatives are evil; capitalism is evil; Christianity is evil; Ronald Reagan is incredibly evil--and everything else shrinks or expands to fit.)
McCarthy also enoucraged people to "expose" their neighbors if they were communists, which turned it into the biggest witch hunt since the Salem Witch Trials. Have you ever read The Crucible? That's a political allegory written during the time period. Was blacklisting perfectly acceptable? If you even insinuate that, you lose all credibility in my eyes - the Red Scare of the 1950s was one of the worst constitutional tragedies in American history.Joe McCarthy exposed dozens of Communist spies in the higher echelons of the federal government--not only have Soviet officials confirmed the status of these spies (both defectors and those who could speak freely once Reagan had defeated the Soviet Union), but it's also been confirmed by Soviet cables intercepted and decoded in the Venona Project. Liberals promptly claimed that McCarthy was a homosexual. One of his employees, Cohn, who was a homosexual (McCarthy's staff included black people (this was in the days of segregation), women, and homosexuals--not that liberals took much note) and was hounded relentlessly for it--by Democrats and the liberal press.
However, I've never heard of McCarthy being accused of homosexuality. I've heard of him being accused of many worse things, but never of being gay.
It must not be too prominent of an opinion, as two years of US History completely glossed over that little tidbit.J. Edgar Hoover, who also discovered several spies in the federal government--as well as speaking against the interrment of Japanese immigrants during WWII, another move that Democrats and the liberal press ignored--and is now referred to, without a shred of evidence, as a cross-dresser and a "closet" homosexual.
Lincoln was a worthless tyrant? Wow - that doesn't even deserve a response. I know plenty of liberals who praise Lincoln...quite honestly, I've never known of a liberal to attack Lincoln. However, I have heard of conservatives who attacked Lincoln.Hell, even Lincoln (who was a worthless tyrant, but he was also a Republican, and that's enough for liberal emnity. Probably the only worthless tyrant they didn't support) was claimed to be a homosexual, by some guy who said he'd found the diary of Lincoln's lover. He wouldn't say where it was, wouldn't let anyone else look at it, but he got plenty of front-page space over it.
