The John Birch Society Announces CPAC 2010 Cosponsorship JBS to provide leadership, educational presence at nation's top conservative gathering

APPLETON, WIS.—December 15, 2009—The John Birch Society announces it is cosponsoring the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2010, to be held in Washington DC, Feb. 18-20.

JBS will have a double booth with half dedicated to offering educational and promotional materials and the other half housing a TV studio that will stream live video from the booth and broadcast onto JBS LibertyNewsNetwork.tv, a website that will feature archived JBS video and live video streams.

Last year, more than 8,000 attendees were drawn to CPAC. Posted on CPAC's website, The Washington Post called it, “… the preeminent yearly gathering of conservative activists.”

You signed up 2 Jan 2010 to reply to a 15 Dec. 2009 thread.

>>In the early 1960s, Dave, who is Jewish, launched a determined personal effort to combat the work of The John Birch Society, having been assured by many that it was anti-Semitic<<

1960s -—— this is 2010
So nothing has gone on or written since the 1960s.
A pathetic response.

98% of the people on that list were born in the 1920s & 1930s.
They are so out of touch with the real world regardless of whatever degrees or money they have.

If a society or political party will not support the fight against the IslamOfascists who have declared war on and attacked America, they are part of the problem and give support to the enemy.

Just as the Ron Paul NeoLeftists who rant on with excuses and twist themselves into a knot trying to explain away the terrorist with - we are attacked because we are occupiers
and we are Imperial America so says Paul along with his anti Israel rants.

These 9/11 Truthers spread NeoLeftists propaganda along with other fringe groups.

if not anti-semetic and anti-Roman Catholic positions, positiosn that are so close that I can barely tell the difference. >>>

the president of the JBS is John McManus, a practicing roman catholic..

[Coleus]

there are many blacks, jews and catholics in the jbs. Some people will believe anything they read on a blog.

When I was in high school, my best friend had neighbors, a husband and wife, who were police officers and belonged to the JBS. We'd go over there to visit their teenagers, and ask them questions about the JBS. They gave me a copy of “None Dare Call It Treason”, which eerily detailed events from the past that are being played out today (this was in the 60’s).

My dad, who was quite conservative, had reservations about JBS, thought it was too extreme, as I recall. I think I asked him to read the book, but don't remember what he specifically said about it. Hadn't thought of JBS for a long time.

I have found that the Birchers I know are very good people and I have never observed any “anti Semitism or “anti Catholicism” among them.
They were talking about the threat of a one world government before most of us had even heard of it.

[BnBlFlag]

they are racists and anti semitism

Hate to tell you Sweetheart, but you don’t know what you’re talking about. Please provide some credible source for this allegation.

[Cold Heat]

I guess you were not around in the 60s and early 70s.

It was all I could do to keep from thowing up from the BS. Conspiracy Kooks, and nutcases.

[Cold Heat]

which eerily detailed events from the past that are being played out today (this was in the 60’s

They were right about the U.N., but that was all they were right about and everyone knew about the UN (world govt)after the experience with it's predecessor.(same stuff)

The rest was garbage about Kissinger and the so call Bildeberger conspiracies and it was all crap.

[KC Burke]

In a related report, A+Bert and Ash both recalled five dollar donations to FR made during black-outs and have announced their cosponsorship of the famous Jim Thompson internet site, FreeRepublic.

Re: “None Dare Call It Treason” >>>>>>>The rest was garbage about Kissinger and the so call Bildeberger conspiracies and it was all crap.<<<<<<<

I read the book in the 60’s, and don’t recall Kissinger being in the limelight until the early 70’s. I don’t have any use for Bildeberger theories, personally.

[Cold Heat]

I was not really commenting on the book. I never bought it.

I can tell you one thing......My short association with them caused me nothin but grief for my entire 3 years in the Army. The security clearance picked up on it, and I never was able to shake it off. It cost me.......

I can only say that I don't want them at CPAC.

[logician2u]

I can only say that I don't want them at CPAC.

Who? The Birchers or the Army? Or the OSI?

[Cold Heat]

Bircher’s.....LOL

[logician2u]

LOL too.

Personally, I'd be a whole lot more comfortable at a conference with Birchers, NRA members and others of similar persuasion than with those who populate the officer corps of 0bama's Army.

Much has changed since you and I wore the uniform.

[Rodebrecht]

The thread that won’t die.

[logician2u]

Thanks for posting it. The replies are a good measure of how much some FReepers like the middle of the road.

As my grandpappy always said, you only find skunks and yellow stripes in the middle of the road.

JBS threads are always as fun as a sack of confused weasels.
