OKAY ciara, young lady; I don't want to be accussed of doing your homwwork for you, so I am going to lead you in the right direction and let you do something for yourself!. I found the following from a simple www!.dogpile!.com web search, and I suggest that you do the same!. However, because this is one subject that I am most impassioned about, please let me add this!. Senator Joseph McCarthy was probably the most maligned government official in the history of our country!. He dared speak the truth and he was character assassinated, and driven out of office because of the fact that there were already so many card carrying coomunists or communist sympathisers in the State Department, and possibly the FBI, and other government agencies, that it was impossible for him to be able to root them all out!. The official cause of death (LOL) was supposedly by hepititis supposedly caused by alcaholism, but if the truth be known, he was actually assassinated by either the FBI or the CIA!. Just as we shall never know the truth about the assassination of President Kennedy, we will never know the truth about Senator McCarthy's true cause of death!. However, suffice to say, that President Dwight D!. Eisenhower was the very last President that "we the people" actually elected!. All the rest have been apponted by the real power elite - the Illuminati!. There was even evidence that J!. Edgar Hoover himself was not only a card carrying communist, but was also a cross-dresser and a bi-sexual, and within days of those truths being released to the public, it was hushed up by our own government and the person who released that information came to a very timely and suspicious death!. also, it was later reveled that Henry Ford Sr!., Henry Ford II, and Andrew Carnegie not only helped to finance Hitler's war against the Jews, but were also card carrying communists!. With such powerful people against him, it was virtually impossible for Senator McCarthy to properly weed out all the communists in our government!. Premier Nikita Khrushchev once made a speech in the UN stating that the communists would take over this country without firing a single shot!. They have done a real bang up job!. History has proved that Senator McCarthy was right, but to this day, he has not been exhonerated of all the lies perpetuated against him!. It just as sad a stae of affairs as is the case of Jonathan Plooard who sold un-classified documents to Israel and was given a life sentence of which he has served 23 years, and those who have actually sold top secret documents to China, Russia, and North Korea served no more than five years!. And Israel is suppossedly our allly in the fight against communism and radical Islam!. Go figure! ONLY IN AMERICA!!!

Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) was a Republican U!.S!. Senator from the state of Wisconsin between 1947 and 1957!. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public figure to stand up to Communist infiltration of the United States government!. He was noted for claiming that there were large numbers of Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers, engaged in a conspiracy to undermine the United States, inside the federal government and was proven correct by government documents and inquiry, including decrypted Venona files!. Ultimately, his detractors, including the Communist Party, were able to organize an effective effort to having him censured by the United States Senate!. The term "McCarthyism," coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's attempts to expose Communists, was soon applied to similar dogmatic pursuits!.

Born and raised on a Wisconsin farm, McCarthy earned a law degree at Marquette University in 1935 and was elected as a circuit judge in 1939, the youngest in state history!. When McCarthy took over as circuit judge, his district had a backlog of more than 200 cases!. By working long hours, including keeping the court open past midnight at least a dozen times, and eliminating a great deal of red tape, Judge McCarthy cleared up the backlog quickly!. And, in the words of one local newspaper, Judge McCarthy "administered justice promptly and with a combination of legal knowledge and good sense!."[1]

Military service
Joseph McCarthy in the U!.S!. Marine CorpsEven though that as a judge McCarthy was exempt from military service, at age 33, McCarthy volunteered for the United States Marine Corps!. He was sworn in as a first lieutenant in August 1942 and served during World War II!. He served as an intelligence officer for a bomber squadron stationed in the Solomon Islands, and also risked his life by volunteering to fly in the tail-gunner's seat on many combat missions!. McCarthy was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1952!. During his 30 months of military service, McCarthy's achievements were unanimously praised by his commanding officers and Admiral Chester Nimitz, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet!. Admiral Nimitz issued the following citation regarding the service of Captain McCarthy:

“ For meritorious and efficient performance of duty as an observer and rear gunner of a dive bomber attached to a Marine scout bombing squadron operating in the Solomon Islands area from September 1 to December 31, 1943!. He participated in a large number of combat missions, and in addition to his regular duties, acted as aerial photographer!. He obtained excellent photographs of enemy gun positions, despite intense anti-aircraft fire, thereby gaining valuable information which contributed materially to the success of subsequent strikes in the area!. Although suffering from a severe leg injury, he refused to be hospitalized and continued to carry out his duties as Intelligence Officer in a highly efficient manner!. His courageous devotion to duty was in keeping with the highest traditions of the naval service!.[2] ”

Additionally, Major General Field Harris, Assistant Commandant (Air) of the United States Marine Corps, sent a letter to McCarthy stating the following:

“ Dear Judge McCarthy: I note with gratification your unusual accomplishments during 30 months of active duty, particularly in the combat area, and that you received a citation from Admiral Nimitz for meritorious performance of duty!. Without exception, the commanding officers under whom you served spoke of the performance of your duties in the highest terms!.

The Marine Corps will not forget the fine contribution you have made!. It is largely through the devoted effort and sacrifice of patriotic Americans like yourself that the corps is able to maintain its unbroken tradition of defeating the enemy, wherever, whenever, and however encountered!.
You have my warm appreciation of your services, and my wishes for your continued success and good luck in the years ahead!.[3]
”
Lastly, in a recommendation for a citation, McCarthy's immediate superior, Major E!.E!. Munn not only praised McCarthy's record as a volunteer tail-gunner, observer, and aerial photographer on combat missions, it specifically referred to the air strikes in which he took part!. This included heavily defended areas such as Kolombangara, Ballale, Bonis, Kara, Kahili, and Buka!. The recommendation in part states:

“ The cool bravery and high devotion to duty consistently displayed by Captain McCarthy are in keeping with the highest standards and traditions of the United States Marine Corps!.[4]

Courtesy The Education and Research Institute!. Used with permission!. It was McCarthy's charges of Communist, security, and loyalty risk infiltration of the State Department that shot him into prominence in 1950!. On February 9th speech in Wheeling, West Virginia at the Colonnade Room of the McClure Hotel he stated:

“ I have in my hand 57 cases of individuals who would appear to be either card carrying members or certainly loyal to the Communist Party, but who nevertheless are still helping to shape our foreign policy!. [5][6][7][8] ”

McCarthy compiled a list of 57 security risks and publicly named John S!. Service, Gustavo Duran, Mary Jane Keeney, Harlow Shapley, and H!. Julian Wadleigh [9] as being on the list!. [10] These names came from the "Lee List" of unresolved State Department security cases compiled by the earlier investigators for the House Appropriates Committee in 1947!. Robert E!. Lee was the committee’s lead investigator and supervised preparation of the list!. [11]

In a six hour speech on the Senate floor on February 20, 1950 in which McCarthy was constantly interrupted by hostile senators; four of whom -- Scott Lucas (61 times), Brien McMahon (27 times), Garrett Withers (22 times), and Herbert Lehman (13 times) -- interrupted him a total of 123 times, McCarthy raised the issue of some eighty individuals who had worked in the State Department, or wartime agencies such as the Office of War Information (OWI) and the Board of Economic Warfare (BEW)!. Democrats insisted McCarthy name names!. McCarthy responded,

“ The Senator from Illinois demanded, loudly, that I furnish all the names!. I told him at that time that so far as I was concerned, I thought that would be improper; that I did not have all the information about these individuals!. !. !. !.I have enough to convince me that either they are members of the Communist Party or they have given great aid to the Communists: I may be wrong!. That is why I said that unless the Senate demanded that I do so, I would not submit this publicly, but I would submit it to any committee - and would let the committee go over these in executive session!. It is possible that some of these persons will get a clean bill of health!. !. !. !. ”

McCarthy gave different numbers at different times!. I think he was unsure of how many he could actually prove were members of the Communist party--which was not really a crime!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
