"The Moment of truth, then and now"
Arlen Specter's recent questioning of Bush's war powers made me think of another dark time in our nations history, the McCarthy era. A time when the people were also terrorized by their government. Lives and careers were ruined by this man's which hunt for communists, hiding under each and every American's bed.
Then came the day during the McCarthy hearings that Joseph Welch spoke back to this monster, with the simple phrase, "At long last, have you no sense of decency, sir?"
That Moment began McCarthy's downfall.
Now we have a Republican challenging Bush's war power's with a similar moment. Let us hope that history can repeat itself, and now can be the beginning of Bush's downfall. Another bully bites the dust.
I had to make this the topic of my latest cartoon, see it at my website
