They betrayed their country xause of their principles, and you could htv some sympathy for them. But nowadays the traitors are just doing It tor money. "In the old days" means back in the late '40s when wc began to realize the extent of communist Infiltration In the U 5. Government. During that period, the Communist Party was the dominant ldelogteal force In Hollywood. . .Hubert Humphrey was engaged In a desperate fight to keep the Minnesota Democratic (DFL) Party out of communist hands. . . the fellow who represented the VS. at the founding conference of the U turned out to be a communist spy. . . and evidence surfaced that the American who helped draw up the post-WInternational monetary system may have also been a Red spy. Back then, communism was the motivation behind most acts of treason. Today, the primary motivation seems to be greed. But why do so many commentators consider the communist traitors morally superior to the greedy ones? Is a Klansman who participates In a lynching morally superior to a man who kills during a robber) Is a Nazi death camp commandant on a higher ethical level than Al Capone? Of course not. When liberals show sympathy for communist traitors, they are unconsciously revealing an important fact: that they see nothing wrong with communism itself, only with the way it has been carried out. To many liberals, communism is just liberalism n-a -- hurry. They fail to understand that, just as there Is no such thing as a nice Nazi, there is no such thing as a nice communist. No exceptions. Why have traitors become toss ldelogteal? Probably because, nowadays, communists in go ECONOMIC SUICIDE: Today it is traitors -- for -- hire, with their mistresses cars, who are more likely to arouse suspicion. But William Grelder has a different theory. Grelder was the WASHINGTON POSTMAN who "exposed" David Stockman a couple of years ago; now he covers politics for ROLLING STONE, newspaper. He said rethe radical rock-mus- ic of these new spies. . core cently, "the real moral Is they all did It for the money, one way or another. They're not your awful odious dangerous lefty spies of earlier generations," he said sarcastically. "They're guys who put It In the bank, and that's so consonant with American values si this point.' What a wonderful explanation! In the Reagan Era, greed is socially acceptable; therefore, more people sell out their country. Somehow it HAD to be Reagan's fault. 611 America Is becoming increasingserious about fighting violent crime. The social experiments and theories of the past few decades are being discarded for anil-crimeasures based on solid research and undeniable results.' The most effective, and thoseyifhthe est support by the public and law enforcement, focus on the criminal, In specific the repeat offender. The result of targeting criminals has been, on one hand, a prison population that has swelled since 1980 from 350,000 to over 460,000 today. On the other, violent crime during a crime and are caught and convicted, those laws ensure the criminal is punished and removed from society. The Firearm Owners Protection Act (S. 49) strengthens the concept of mandatory penalties in, federal gun laws. It levies a five-ye- ar mandatory penalty for carrying or using a gun In a violent crime. It extends that promise of hard jail time to drug traffickers. As passed by the VS.
