History Rhymes: None of us can escape our responsibility.
"This is no time for [those] who oppose [Joe] McCarthy's methods to keep silent....
WE CAN DENY OUR HERITAGE AND OUR HISTORY, BUT WE CANNOT ESCAPE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RESULT.
There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities.
As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home....
The actions of [McCarthy] have cause alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it -- and rather successfully.
Casius was right: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."
