Dick Cheney

(1) Republican. Vice President of The United States under George W. Bush. 2001-2009

(2) Scared the life out of pony-tailed, old Hippies, who, after having lived in the U.S. all their lives, have never actually read the Constitution, yet claim to understand it.

(3)Source of irrational anger for petulant, over-privileged children posing as adults who are pissed off that they missed the 60's, or having experienced the 60's, rail at growing old and irrelevent. Note: It is thought that he looks like their fathers who never showed them any affection, hence their rage.

Rainbow: "Dick Cheney is a murderer!"

Rainbow's Father: "You know, the Vice President has no actual authority"

Rainbow: "I HATE YOU DADDY! Can I borrow the car?"

Senator Joseph McCarthy

(1) U.S. Senator and patriot.

(2) Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee who investigated paid, Soviet agents in the U.S. government. This was a result of the conviction of Alger Hiss, a high level employee of the State Department, for perjury. Hiss was responsible for Poland being handed over to the Soviet Union after WWII when he was FDR's State Department advisor at Yalta.
At this time he was also a paid Soviet agent, a fact which he lied about under oath to the U.S. Congress.

(3) Never subpoenaed anyone from Hollywood, contrary to popular belief. This was done by the HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee, headed by Richard Nixon, then a Congressman from California.

(4) Everyone he accused of being a paid Soviet agent, was found to be, when de-crypted Soviet era intercepts, released in the 90's, named all of the accused as Soviet KGB and GRU assets.

(5) Patriotic American, successfully vilified by the Left for doing his job, he was unjustly censured by the Senate.

Senator Joseph McCarthy's character was assassinated by the Democrats with the help of "journalist" Edward R. Morrow in a campaign of mis-information that would make Josef Gobbles blush with pride.
