Is there anyone that knows enough about the National Center for Constitutional Studies to make a page about it?Isaac Crumm 07:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph McCarthy

The line that his "ideas are similar to Joseph McCarthy's" is sort of silly, because firstly, they largely have two separate ideologies; Skousen is an academic, McCarthy a politician. Whether they both had anti-Communist sentiments in the 1950s and 60's, well, there's a long line of anti-Communists in American politics at that time. I'll leave it unless someone seconds the motion to remove it. Mike Murray 14:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I removed the reference to McCarthy, for the reasons cited by editor Michael brazell/Mike Murray. I've tried to do a general clean-up of the article. Also, I think the reference to Skousen's being president of the student body in college is a bit unencyclopedic and maybe a little silly at least in the context of this article -- but I've left it in for now, subject to comments by other editors.
