Thank you, Sen. McCarthy. I am actually a very strong capitalist, and registered Republican. I do not like how what used to be a law-and-order party has been transformed into a party of paranoids who believe any government action is bad. Even at the height of the Cold War, we didn't embargo the Soviet Union and China. Nixon even had a few good meals with Mao Tse-tung )(oh, excuse me, Zedong). The treatment of Cuba is strange and different from the way we treat other autocracies such as China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and the like. I haven't heard anyone called a communist in years and years. Now that's truly scary. Study the Holocaust; then you'll understand why your analogies sound so absurd to those who know the period well.
