"As you hear these stories of high treason within our government, I know that you are saying to yourself, "Well, why doesn't somebody do something about it?" Actually, one of the important reasons for the graft, the corruption, the dishonesty, the disloyalty, the treason in high government positions -- one of the most important reasons why this continues -- is a lack of moral uprising on the part of the American people. It is this apathy to evil which permits it to continue its unchecked growth. However, the morals of the American people have not been completely destroyed yet. They still exist. And this cloak of numbness and apathy only needs a spark to rekindle a moral uprising and will end only when the whole sorry mess of twisted warped thinkers are swept from the national scene so that we may have a new birth of national honesty and decency in government." - Joe McCarthy (1950)
