No matter your politics, watch this.

Wheras in my opinion the failure to learn the lessons of McCarthyism shows we've progressed very little at all over a few generations.

Who says we haven't? Who is being hunted down? Who is being blacklisted for their political beliefs? What "scare" are we being pushed into believing? Or are you implying that because Bush, who may be the President but is still one person, somehow represents and is indicative of the actions and beliefs of our nation's citizens as a whole? If so, I would disagree. The very fact that there is so much public debate and vocal opposition to his actions shows that McCarthyism is dead. Bush may be ignorant, but that doesn't mean the whole country is, and his firing of one person hardly demonstrates that McCarthyism is alive and well.
