I don't consider the published views of the John Birch Society to be mainstream conservatism. If they were, a majority of Congress would share their views, and so would most of the red states.

As far as your assertion that I stand against national sovereignty, I'll refrain from expressing my opinion right now, because up until that moment I considered you a friend.

Sometimes they are right.

Given that you attacked a poster and anyone who agreed with him for putting up an article that exposes a plan to seriously weaken national sovereignty, what was I supposed to think?

Talk of "views" is just a diversion. This article contains facts, and it's hardly the only one presenting them. If you're happy with these facts, that's your prerogative, but it definitely does not put you in the mainstream of public opinion in this country.

A majority of Congress are politicians, but not necessarily educated conservatives.

Actually, I think most people in the U.S. are conservative, they just don't think of themselves that way. So why aren't Republican Congressmen real conservatives? I think it is because they actually believe the BS coming from the MSM about conservatives being "out of the mainstream" or some such, therefore they would like to be seen as "moderate". But we know from experience that moderates have, by definition, conceded the argument before it has even started. (Meeting the Liberals "half way" from a position of starting at the halfway point.)

And since you apparently don't read The New American, may I suggest you give it a try?
