I like to keep an open mind about everything. That is what attracted me to this site. I have found a very safe way to deal with the Eisenhower/Communist question. I just read every book and speech by Eisenhower's Secretary of State named Ezra Taft Benson. Benson was able to work for Eisenhower with a clear conscience, but at the same time Benson was a very, very, very strong supporter of the John Birch Society and called the organization the most effective. The society was created because of the 300 page well documented book "The Politician" so it is impossible to completely throw it all out as lies. I just read a great deal, and I keep an open mind.
