One of the questions I remember (in 1964) as I was enlisting in the Air Force, was, “Are you a member of the John Birch Society?”.

I was 18, did not even know (or care) what the John Birch Society was, or was about.

It asked about other organizations, too, but the one I specifically remember is the JBS.

“...mature, apolitical oversight of executive branch agencies...”

Much to consider in this article. From 17th to Schumer and Pelosi. Thanks, Jacquerie.

“It wasn’t supposed to be this way.” BUMP!

The logic that decades ago led the John Birch Society to condemn communism, big government and the welfare state mysteriously ends when it comes to the slow strangulation of liberty <<<

*Part of the death of the “Birchers” happened when 90% were discovered to be Gov’t “informants”

...and this has exactly what to do with the Article V movement?

A movement going exactly nowhere fortunately for Constitution loving individuals who know the Constitution is not the problem to begin with, but let’s just open it up under the auspices of an Article V, and see what happens.

The 17th Amendment is a symptom.

The 16th Amendment is the disease.

The John Birch Society is no d---- good. It was always anti-Israel (except for a while during the Begin years) but since the end of the Cold War has gone full-bore Liberty Lobby.

Their magazine has actually published an article attacking Netanyahu as a liar for exposing Iran. They are actually pro-Iran now! That's how much they have Israel Derangement Syndrome! But they would have been happy for every American to die for Rhodesia (a country founded by an "Insider").

The JBS was always anti-Israel, but now it's gone absolutely Ron Paul crazy. It should be avoided by all who fear Heaven and its publications should be on FR's "do not post" list.
