Good for you.
We should categorically dismiss the Birchers around here, and seeing people defend them on the Palin thread was painful. I guess now that Romney is connected to them, it's politically correct to denounce them, but that shows the weakness of some people's convictions and honesty.
I wouldn't care if the Birchers supported every candidate I do, they are a vile group that should be categorically dismissed by conservatives, and not only when we can connect them to someone we dislike.
Darkwolf, even though I posted this thread and trust Palin’s judgment on things like this, I still don’t know much about JBS. I would like to know more about the controversies surrounding them out of curiosity. Can you please tell me more or lead me to an article with more information? That’d be great!
Let the statements and actions of the individual stand on their merit, and similarly, let the group's current behaviour be measured by the group and not one or two members.
After all, "There is one in every bunch".
If you read the words and view the actions of even some relatively popular Republicans, and with critical thinking ask where their Constitutional authority was for their actions--even some popular actions--then you might look at history a little differently.
The Democrats, especially the New Left, are even worse.
I guess if your 'friends' stab you it doesn't bleed as much, but the Constitution hasn't really been followed since before 1860 and most even here would scream bloody blue murder if it was.
All the lip service paid the people with the 'R' after their name won't change that.
Nor will demeaning those who defend the Constitution, regardless of what others have done in the past.
I don’t know how old you are, but if it hadn’t been for the nasty old Birchers raising hell about the push to totalitarian government here, it would have been all over years ago.
And WHAT were YOU doing in the 50s and 60s to help??

This makes him a nut?

Atheists like you are much more distasteful than the Birchers. Atheists are a vile group that should be categorically dismissed by Conservatives.
