Anti-Communism
For those not familiar with the political spectrum, opposition to Communism as it existed over the 20th century may be a tad confusing or vexing. However, there is certainly rhyme or reason to who opposed Communism and on what grounds that opposition existed. Even if there has been a huge shift in terms of who is liberal and who is conservative over the years, most everyone in power was vocally anti-Communist in the days of Truman and Joe Mccarthy. However, the ways in which that did or did not manifest varied a bit from person to person. While some of the vocal opponents of Communism were on the same side of the political spectrum as the same, there was most certainly a difference and the anti-Communist activities of some, like Mccarthy, were not terribly productive.
Analysis
One thing that has to be said straight off the top is that the liberal and conservatives of yesterday are very much different than what is seen now. At present, the socialist...
On the other hand, the more traditional, conservative and so forth elements of the country are typically on the Republican side. Even so, there are exceptions to that and one has to be careful how one defines terms. For example, "classical liberals" are actually on the right side of the political spectrum and are very much like the Founding Fathers. Similarly, the party alignment of a person alone can dictate what they support (or what they say they support, more to the point) even if one might think that they support something else. Lastly, one has to understand that there has been a shift over the years that involves racism, segregationist and even things like the Ku Klux Klan. For example, the late Robert Byrd, the Senator from West Virginia, used to be a member of the Klan in the past. However, there has been a bit of a flip over the years and Truman is a good example, as is Strom Thurmond. Strom Thurmond was a segregationist and flipped from being a Democrat to a Republican because he felt that the latter was more in line with his thoughts. He may have been right at the time, but that was certainly less true in the past in the days of the Dixiecrats and beyond. Truman is a…

China Under Communism, Confucian values, considered vestiges of the old feudal system, were supposed to have been completely swept away. Judging from what you have read from the readings, do you believe Confucianism completely disappeared after 1949? Confucianism is the philosophical and ethical system of belief based upon the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius. The core belief of Confucianism was humanism which is the belief that human beings can change, adapt,
Ellis holds that America, at its outset, was plagued by an identity crisis: Americans who asserted an essentially 'Republican' identity and revolted against Britain for certain reasons were at ends with Americans who asserted an essentially 'Federal' identity and revolted against Britain for other reasons.

Revisionist historian often seek to find non-Christian association among the lives of the founding fathers, such as the Freemasons, and Humanism, yet it is clear that these organizations were not dominant to religion and that a strong Protestant ethic still reigned supreme, especially in the language of the foundational documents of the nation.
