in fact have extensive knowledge of the life of Henry Wallace and have read both his writings and great body of literature written about him. The red-baiting really adds nothing to the discussion.

Let's see we have a climate in which the nation is controlled by those for whom clearly the overarching goal is the acqusition and retention of obscene wealth. They are "super-patriots" when it is convenient but will gladly deal with so-called enemies when it is profitable. They place loyalty to money and power above that to human beings and society as a whole. They do everything in their power to subvert real democracy and to evade or undermine anything that keeps them from monoplistic control. They are systematically rolling back constituitonal guarantees of liberty, freedom and privacy. And, they spread their imperialism under the guise of improving the lives of those whom they subjugate.

Yep, doesn't capture today's climate at all.
