“Meanwhile Socialism has taken over the Democrat party and Politico somehow does not take notice.”
They notice, and they approve.
I don’t know much about them but back during the 50s they were saying Fidel Castro was a Communist and everyone else including the government was saying the opposite.
They turned out to be right and everyone else was wrong.
The media is so stupid and thinks the conservative movement is monolithic, and includes the likes of faux-conservatives David Brooks, Billy Kristol, George Will, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Peggy Noonan and other such nabobs of negativism.
A long time ago, I was a reader of the New American. I never joined despite being contacted to attend a meeting. I have no problem with most of Birch’s stated positions (strict adherence to the Constitution), but there was something about the organization that did not sit well with me. Moreover, some ex-members of management have described leadership that seemed less than principled. Glad I did not join. I doubt they will see a resurgence.
Democrats are the new Birchers. Looking for Russians under every bed.
Years ago I heard of them as “The Society for the Preservation of Wooden Toilet Seats” - The Birch John Society.
I still like that today.
The lefties are still stuck in the sixties. If they are looking for their enemies, they should check out Reddit and 4chan, not a bunch of old geezers in Texas.
The JBS lost steam when the Soviets assassinated its leader, and never seemed to get its footing back.
Ping!
My favorite bumper sticker:
“LOOKS LIKE THE BIRCHERS WERE RIGHT!”
Where can I sign up?

I was wrong.
It took a while for me to notice it, but the Society had a very pronounced anti-Israel prejudice. They distributed anti-Semitic material by Nesta Webster and even published bowdlerized versions of books by pro-Nazi Romanian Prince Michel Sturdza, and while they were big fans of Rhodesia, South Africa, Protugal, Spain, and Nationalist China, they were very stand-offish about Israel, even though they never labeled Israel or Ben Gurion as Communist.
The Birch Society is actually largely a front for anti-Semitic sedevacantist and Feeneyite Catholics and anti-Israel "Reconstructionist" Protestants (although it was founded by an evolutionist Unitarian and included among its founding members the notorious atheist anti-Semite Revilo P. Oliver).
The Birch Society was and is totally alien to traditional American (pro-Israel) Fundamentalist Protestantism and is tied in with the anti-Semitic "right" in foreign countries. On the side they pushed an anti-Israel book called The Rapture Cult, which actually speculates that pretribulation dispensationalism was a creation of the "conspiracy." I was even given a copy of this book by my own coordinator!
I know precious few people will take my word for any of this, but I can only say that I have been there and done that, and I know what I know.
The Birch Society is not a righteous organization. To take conservative positions domestically while opposing the Return to Zion shows that their "gxd" is not the True G-d. And there simply is no national American "gxd." The Jewish G-d is the only G-d there is--whether anyone likes it or not.
