Interesting, thanks!
Geez. Robert Welch looked like he was 110 years old when he was only 75 at that time. Great message, awful delivery. I will stick with old Reagan speeches.
Yea and even the likes of Levin keep trashing the guy. Why? He was right...
My father was an officer in the Fla. National Guard at the time and also held the organizer in high regard and friendship. Daddy spoke of how correct the JBS was and how badly they were needed, but then the word came down, it might have meant the end of my father's career had he been openly active, looking back at some of the other things I remember it almost certainly would have ended his career.
Frank, are you reading this?

Very interesting and insightful.
I have been swayed by the MSM’s labeling of the JBS as “extremists”. For this reason I have ignored and avoided the group in the same way I avoided the Klan. (No, I am NOT equating the two!) Mentally, I had characterized both groups as whackos!
Ironically, I went to the same high school as John Birch (though much, much later), lived for a time in his old house and even dated one of his nieces. Thanks to the internet, we are all able to do our own research, gather evidence, use forums like Free Republic to discuss things with others and finally make up our own minds. It is good to have this electronic version of Mars Hill.
I am amazed that this thread has only gotten 30+ posts!
