Bircher posters?

As in John Birch Society?

Can you show me a Bircher poster? I’ve been here 15 years and I’ve never seen one.

I agree and in the late 50s and early 1960 I was 'dabbling' in the JBS probably as an alternate but I (and a few cohorts) were seemingly convinced it was ex USN Officers involved (maybe just the San Diego chapter??)

I just ran across this though and it is VERY prolific - if nothing else... (Almost on target as Ayn Rand was)

==================

One of the first public activities of the society was a "Get US Out!" (of membership in the UN) campaign, which claimed in 1959 that the "Real nature of [the] UN is to build a One World Government".[37] In 1960, Welch advised JBS members to: "Join your local P.T.A. at the beginning of the school year, get your conservative friends to do likewise, and go to work to take it over."[38] One Man's Opinion,[39] a magazine launched by Welch in 1956, was renamed American Opinion,[40] and became the society's official publication. The society publishes The New American, a biweekly magazine.[13][41]

A Bircher Poster is one that even if not a member of the John Birch Society would agree with most of the ideology, which in itself isn’t that bad. Birchers are mostly what I would call Old Right or Paleo-Conservatives. Supporters of Pat Buchanan are an example.

I see plenty of Buchanan type posters.

There is a Bircher that has been here for a long time under at least 3 names - factfinder, ernie1241 and searching123 by his own admission.

His latest posting on this thread as searching123 didn't work out very well for him thanks to FReeper lavaroise identifying him in this post - so I expect him to return next time under a new handle.

His writing style is very easy to identify, so he won't get far next time either.

I’ve never seen any Bircher posting either.
