Yes, it is, thanks for the ping.

Not that I know of...but I'm getting tired of prople trashing the John Birch Society, calling them a right-wing group of Conspiratorialists, etc., etc., etc.
While I'm not a member of the JBS, I used to subscribe to their magazine, which is called "The New American" several yrs ago--& methinks they have written some EXCELLENT stories that deserve some credit. Every so often they release their "Conservative Index", which rates Members of Congress on their voting records--not based on single-issues like abortion or gun rights like Planned Parenthood or the NRA do respectively, but based ONLY on their adherence to the Constitution.
WHAT A CONCEPT!!! Rating our Congress critters on nothing more than their willingness to follow their constitutional oaths? No wonder why both major political parties have such a condescending view towards the JBS (BTW, the very honorable Representative RON PAUL usually ranks @ the top of the list by a longshot!). From what I can tell, there is NO other stronger defender of our Constitution than the JBS & Rep. PAUL, & I challenge anyone to prove me wrong (I hope they do, 'cuz I wanna find out who they are so I can support them, too!).
Ping to an article that must be read.......
I read a good deal of the New American a few years ago shortly after the Oklahoma City Federal Building was bombed. The conspiracy theory claiming that elements of our government planted shaped charges on the building's Columns in order to increase the destruction caused by the truck bomb is so absurd that I don't trust anything put out by JBS.
For more on this subject, the following link is essential reading re: Communist drive in Haiti, not to mention the rest of Latin America. The piece is entitled "Haiti: The Next Cuba?" Do yourself a favor and read it...you wont be sorry--TTS

There are too many one issue people who have closed the blinders to the big picture. The Conservative index is a good overall rating of congress. As you say, adherance to the Constitution is the key. Gun rights are Constitutional so that should be as much a part of the big picture as property rights etc.
Hold ONE conservative value and you are profiled as a right winger. Hold one liberal value and you are profiled as a left winger. What ever happened to middle of the road, which means people are free thinking to make decisions based on intelligent factors rather than one narrow minded political perspective that the other side dislikes??? People are too quick to lash out because you may stand for something they disagree with.
Part of the fragmentation of American culture is the result of one issue confrontationalism. Nothing else counts.
Communism is not dead in the current administration...
Else they would close the southern and northern border too..
Canada does not depise communism.. Socialism is socialism, siblings..
I remember that story, & as a matter of fact, I just happened to start my subscription to TNA shortly after the bombing occurred.
If you look @ the aerial photo of the blast area, you can tell that the worst damage done to the Murrah federal bldg was FURTHER away from the spot where the bomb-laden truck was parked. One would think that the the laws of physics would cause the opposite to occur, wouldn't it (i.e., make the 2 craters as CLOSE as possible to ea other)???
Considering the fact that Janet Reno was the Attorney General @ the time, & that the Murrah federal bldg was demolished rather quickly raises addnt'l questions in my mind as well. Plus the Clinton Administration immediately blaming the political Right for the incident rather than Middle Eastern terrorists, too.
Great article.
Bump!
The fall of the berlin wall was just half-time.
Communism has changed shape and perhaps color....today its called the ACLU and the NEA. It has infected our schools and even our churches.
PC is the new Mantra of those who would take us down.
We must educate our children to be aware of this new threat to America...
South of the Border....its like no one even cares....till its too late....perhaps its already too late.
I don't think Boxer is very bright. She may actually believe it. The whole thing reminds me of liberals who say "There's no liberal bias, you conservatives control the information flow," or "Why do you keep attacking us? You control the whole government." it's either ignorant or malevolent, but in the end it's dangerous talk. Boxer and her buddy Feinstein need to be targeted and need to be despatched. McClintock would be a good senator.
And socializm is but a necessary phase on the workers march against the hated bourgeoisie and toward pure communism.
"The workers flag that shrouds our dead,
In every fold is colored red"
Not to mention the rush to execute the man who had the answers, Tim McVeigh.
YOur post just made me realize........ McVay was executed rather quickly compared to most death row inmates who usually are around for at least 10-15 years. Did he waive his right to appeal (stall)?
But tell me, what was his connection to this thread?

It's another story in the current issue of The New American magazine.
