“there are people in government, the Congress, the FBI—I have FBI friends—who are ferreting out red traitors, people who pretend to like America but secretly oppose it. All of us, even kids like you, need to do your patriotic duty to make sure reds, Commie symps, fellow travelers, and pinkos, un-Americans, don’t infiltrate our lives. None of us should have anything to do with reds.”
Shows how oblivilous we were to what communism is. Its true that we put these words behind it but we didnt undeestand what it was like to live in the Soviet Union. Nor did we recognize our hypocrisy. We didnt recognize the extent of our hatred, blinded by Patriotism
