Do you even know who John Birch was? I’m just asking.
John Birch, a United States military intelligence officer and Baptist missionary in World War, was killed in 1945 by armed supporters of the Communist Party of China. The John Birch Society was named after him.
As a kid in GA, I saw a lot of Get the US out of UN signs along two lane highways. (Not to mention Brylcream signs, but that’s another story.) It has become, I guess a sort of urban myth, that Birch ran the society and was some old white guy racist. I worked for a guy during summer vacations, 65 and 66, in High School who was a member of the JBS and he eventually became a Bishop in the Anglican Church of America when it broke away from the even then too liberal Episcopal church.
