On December 2, 1954, a chilly day in Washington DC, Senator Prescott Sheldon Bush (Fater and Grandfather to #41 & #43) brought the antics of Senator Joseph McCarthy to an end. Standing up to Senator McCarty was considered foolish - political suicide - you were labeled a communist or a traitor. However, brave men gathered and fought back.

On that chilly day, Senator Bush said the actions of McCarthy "caused dangerous divisions among the American people because of his attitude and the attitude he has encouraged among his followers: that there can be no honest differences of opinion with him. Either you must follow Senator McCarthy blindly, not daring to express any doubts or disagreements about any of his actions, or, in his eyes, you must be a Communist, a Communist sympathizer, or a fool who has been duped by the Communist line."

When will brave men gather once more?

Will it be the last act of War Hero, a lame duck Senator from Tennessee with nothing to lose or another brave soul from Arizona, Senator Jeff Flake, pointing out - the emperor has no clothes.
