Read these: "Again unlike the liberals of the thirties, the new liberals were also militantly anti-Communist. An excerpt from the organizational statement of principle and purpose of the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), the chief vehicle for the new liberalism, captures this concern: "Because the interests of the United States are the interests of free men everywhere, America must furnish political and economic support to democratic and freedom-loving peoples the world over." This language--indistinguishable from the later-announced Truman Doctrine's emphases on freedom and globalism--served to set the ADA apart from the postwar American left. Inevitably, then, with the intensification of the cold war, the ADA emerged as one of the principal and frequently uncritical defenders of the foreign and internal security policies of the Truman Administration."

The article you posted attempted to link liberals to supporting communism and extending the cold war. You posted it only because you saw a barb against Clinton, not because you knew any better.

Following is what a real anti-communist who lived and fought on the front line, has to say about Republicans. efn.org

"Republicans want to cut all social support programs for the needy to finance tax cuts for the wealthy. As far as I can see, it would cause an enormous amount of suffering, especially for the children. I think
this can be called a special kind of social cannibalism. The Republican party of the United States, in my opinion, is the single
worst terrorist organization in today's world."
