A. The Red Scare
Communists were associated with the color red because of the red flag of the Soviet Union -- thus the "Red Scare." One manifestation of the Red Scare was how people's privacy was invaded. Accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people. Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance. But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that. Those who aimed to protect the rights and liberties of each individual saw the Red Scare tactics as "witch hunts," where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.
Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the Red Scare (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.
Other than the cost, some people opposed SDI<u> because It might put weapons in space.</u> The Strategic Defence Initiative was opposed as it threatened to inflict damages on the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. The technologies central to SDI were exotic as they had laser and other directed energy weapons, space-based tracking, and battle management systems which were difficult to assess which resulted in uncertainties in the SDI issue. The reaction of the Soviet Union further triggered opposition to the SDI as it was unknown while how the technology would develop. The other concern was how future presidents and Congressmen would respond to Reagan's vision and initiative.
