More quotes by Joseph McCarthy

"Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity."
"The reason why we find ourselves in a position of impotency is not because the enemy has sent men to invade our shores, but rather because of the traitorous actions of those who have had all the benefits that the wealthiest nation on earth has had to offer - the finest homes, the finest college educations, and the finest jobs in Government we can give."
"While I cannot take the time to name all the men in the State Department who have been named as members of the Communist Party and members of a spy ring, I have here in my hand a list of 205."
"McCarthyism is Americanism with its sleeves rolled."
