They should have an amendment outlawing communism and all its forms. Maybe next time.
“I’m a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
And I ain’t even got a garage you can call home and ask my wife”
True the Constitution is far from perfect, but the Constitution and its first ten amendments is far better than the law we live under today.
Repeal everything after the Bill of Rights and you have a workable government.
The only addition I might add is an amendment to allow the States to over ride a Supreme Court decision with a simple majority vote.
JBS is right.
History has shown the JBS to be more right than wrong
Now, there's no one that we're certain the Kremlin hasn't touched.
We think that Westbrook Pegler doth protest a bit too much.
We only hail the hero from whom we got our name.
We're not sure what he did, but he's our hero just the same.
There is one poster around here that goes into a legendary anti-JBS rant whenever their name shows up....
Talks about lawsuits bla bla bla.
That version of the JBS is totally alien to the folks that I knew back in the day in Belmont, MA.
Those folks were intelligent, courteous and friendly—took time out of their schedule to share information with the very young me. They were happy to answer any questions and have an open discussion on any topic.
I immediately noticed the contrast with the leftist professors on campus who were self-righteous jerks who tolerated no dissent from their views.
So—I always give the JBS the benefit of the doubt when they are under attack.
In 1965 I was at a JBS meeting when one guy asked if the JBS thought that MLK was a Communist.
There was a bit of a ripple at that, but the speaker said “Pink, but not an outright Communist”.
In ‘65, that was heresy. Saint MLK could only be spoken of in reverent tones.
Turns out 45 years later they were dead right. All the crap he actually believed started coming out, and that was one of the bad points, among many.
As for Art. V, JBS is just concerned about mischief. That’s the definition of conservative, right?
They weren’t wrong. They were just early.
Tacked up on the wall inside his garage"
Sorry, but the JBS is neither the enemy or the “Stalking Horse” presented. The problem with the US is that “We the People” became fat, lazy and satisfied. The Media has been “feeding” the people, “keeping them in the lounger, and filling their heads with the “fluff” that comes from those who control FB, Google, Twitter et al.
Robert Philbrick Clark was a "Wikipedia" of The Constitution, and extremely worthy to have led the Boston chapter.
I hear little about the JBS. Has their influenced waned in recent decades?
I once received literature from an anonymous source. JBS? In any case, I read it. It emphasized Jewish influence in the press. I think the authors were on the wrong track.
I thought, and think now more than ever, that there is a problem with the mainstream media. There is seeing a problem, and there is understanding a problem - two different things. The authors of the literature that I received at least saw a problem. In my estimation they did not understand the problem.
If the JBS saw a communist under every bed, they were mistaken; but no more so than a great many people who have no concern over communism.
As to the article above, there is no doubt in my mind that the US Supreme Court has decided unconstitutionally in the past, then built upon their precedents as though they had the force of law.
We may all have amendments we would like to see. As an economist, I would like to see a prohibition on all wage and price controls. As a potential patient, I do not see why I need a doctor’s prescription for HCQ, Ivermectin, or anything else. I can consult the doctors of my choice, in person or on the internet, and make my own decisions.
After all these years, still fun to hear at the nearby “Dew Drop Inn”.
“Now watch him Folks cause he’s a furly dangerous man!
Well you may not know it but this man is a spy.
He’s a undercover agent for the FBI
And he’s been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!”
I was just thinking that the JBS is now called MAGA. Early on, Rush wouldn’t touch JBS. Toward the pat 5-10 years, he openly embraced it. Just not under the JBS name.
Rush enthusiastically endorsed Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments via the Article V Convention of States process.
As would most Bircher’s.
