More From Dwight D. Eisenhower

Communism is not a political party nor a political plan under the constitution; it is a system of government that is the opposite of our constitutional government, and it would be necessary to destroy our government before communism could be set up in the united states....[communism] even reaches its hand into the sanctity of the family circle itself, disrupting the normal relationship of parent and child, all in a manner unknown and unsanctioned under the constitutional guarantees under which we in america live.

There is a tendency among many shallow thinkers of our day to teach that every human act is a reflex, over which we do not exercise human control. they would rate a generous deed as no more praiseworthy than a wink, a crime as no more voluntary than a sneeze. . . such a philosophy undercuts all human dignity. . . all of us have the power of choice in action at every moment of our lives.
