Reply #13: My dad is a retired union man who remembers the McCarthy era. [View All]

He says things were very bad then, and we did not get over it in a hurry, just because McCarthy died.

He also grew up during the Depression. When times were bad, some people became extremist, looking for anyone to blame. He remembers the Klan coming as far north as Minnesota.

It will get worse if shrub is re-elected. I think we will have worldwide depression. People will starve. It will be worse than anything he lived through.
