What's the difference between Irving Kristol and Paul Musgrave? Paul Musgrave hates Joe McCarthy. Good for him!

As it is beyond dispute that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Maine's explosion was accidental and Franklin Roosevelt was elected to four terms as president, so is it undebatable that Joe McCarthy's tactics were a threat to freedom of speech and the functioning of the executive branch of government. He was less concerned with making America safer than with making a name for himself. He had, at last, no decency. I will hear no dissent on this point, even if you care to disagree with me.
See: Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine), "Declaration of Conscience".
