"Now I am going to tell you
how we are not going to fight
communism. We are not going to
transform our fine FBI into a
Gestapo secret police.... We are
not going to control what our
people read and say and think.
We are not going to turn the
United States into a right-wing
totalitarian country in order to
deal with a left-wing
totalitarian threat." -
President Harry S Truman, in a
speech regarding the threat
posed by domestic communism;
April 1950.
