What are some differences between McCarthy's ""West Virginia Speech"" and his ""letter to President Truman""? What are some similarities?

Speech of Joseph McCarthy, Wheeling, West Virginia, February 9, 1950

Explanation:

Ladies and gentlemen, this night, as one of the greatest men in American history is celebrating the hundred and forty-first birthday of the Highest, I would like to talk of a glorious day of world history. While we mark the birth of this man who hated war with his whole heart and soul, I want to talk of peace and disarmament all over the world in our day. These things could truly be mentioned when we celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

Five years from the end of the world war, the hearts of men will expect long peace - and the minds of men should be liberated from the heavy weight of war. Yet this isn't such a moment - it's not a time of peace. It is a time of the "Cold War," when the whole world is divided into two vast, more and more aggressive, armed groups, a time of a big arms race.

Today we can hear the murmurings or rumblings of a revived war god almost physically. From the Hills of Indochina, from the shores of Formosa, you can see it, feel it, and hear it all the way right into Europe itself.

The only consolation is that there has not yet been a "crazy moment" to fir the gun or to blow the bomb, which will make humanity the final task of destruction. There is still a hope for peace if we finally decide that we can no longer blind our eyes safely and cling our ears to the facts that are increasingly evident.

The big difference between our Western Christian and the atheistic communist world, gentlemen, is not political, it is moral. For example, the Marxian idea that land and factories are confiscated and the whole of the economy runs as a single company is crucial. Similarly, it is hardly less important for Lenin to invent the one-party police state as a way to make Marx's idea work.

Naturally, Stalin's determination to transmit both these ideas did a lot to dividing the world. However, with these only differences, the east and the west could still live in peace.
