My father was born in 1911...and now, thanks to this video, I understand his McCarthy, House of Un-American Activities, John Birch fealty. As a young child, we signed up for a 30 minute "watch" at a little Nebraska puddle-jumper airport complete with binoculars to watch for incoming Communists. I was so proud.
Later in college, I embraced unabashed liberalism as a personal preference, but this video makes me understand the world my father grew up in. I have been sometimes harsh in my unstated criticism, and most of my family followed suit, but it makes more sense. I'm the Token Liberal.
My father was a Chaplain in the Army in Japan just before my birth...still fighting communism. My older sisters went to American elementary school in Japan and are still RWers. I understand them better, as well.
As to today...it separates Bernie...marching with the Unions, and Hillary, getting the corporate support from the now-establishment Union Management and of course the monied masters. There are generations and worlds of difference between the two. This video explains why.
It's not insignificant...it's historical.
