Of course McCarthy was a first class crackpot. Indeed, the communist
liberals to whom I refer have all the right in the world to believe whatever
it is they believe. Nevermind that they are wrong, we are free States! That
they believe otherwise is more proof of that. Ok maybe communist is a poor
choice; how bout socialist liberals?  More accurate but not as derisive as
I'd like. I have nothing good to think about those who want to take power
away from the States; so I can call 'em every bad word in the book. Ah
Freedom!
