In the meantime, the bi-partisan effort to destroy meaningful personal and political freedoms continues.

I have no doubt that there is a sizable constituency — largely but by no means exclusively Republican — who would love to resurrect the rotting corpse of the HUAC and turn it loose on Mooslims and other "them"s. MHO, it’s an artifact of the aforementioned era that is best forgotten (except as a cautionary tale).
