Joseph McCarthy
Speech of Joseph McCarthy, Wheeling, West Virginia, February 9, 1950
…The reason why we find ourselves in a position of impotency is not because our only powerful potential enemy has sent men to invade our shores . . . but rather because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this Nation. It has not been the less fortunate, or members of minority groups who have been traitorous to this Nation, but rather those who have had all the benefits that the wealthiest Nation on earth has had to offer . . . the finest homes, the finest college education and the finest jobs in government we can give.
This is glaringly true in the State Department. There the bright young men who are born with silver spoons in their mouths are the ones who have been most traitorous. . . .
I have here in my hand a list of 205 . . . a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department. . . .

The Broad High Road
At the end of WWII, with a Conservative Party defeat in the 1945 general election, Winston Churchill became leader of the British opposition.
Midst the developing Cold War with the Soviet Union, Churchill warned of an “iron curtain” of Soviet influence in Europe and promoted European unity.
In this inspiring 1950 election speech, Churchill demonstrated his superb oratorical skill
Here is an excerpt from his famous speech of June 1940 after the fall of France and the Dunkirk evacuation.
