the JBS mentality is about as close to the terrorist state of mind as any islamic terrorist group!...a bunch of catholic and jew hating whackos!

Fred Koch, founder of Koch Industries, funded Robert Welch's creation of the JBS.

I am not now and never was a member of the JBS, nor do I subscribe to many JBS eccentric notions. I would like to interrupt your fantasy that the JBS was anti-Catholic on the basis of simple justice.

We may start with the fact that Robert Welch, a devout Baptist until quite late in his life, converted to Roman Catholicism before his death as did his wife. There was a Roman Catholic priest from Bridgeport and later from Monroe, Connecticut, Fr. Francis Fenton who had long served as a JBS National Council member. A major hero of the society was the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy who was quite Catholic. The JBS in-house publisher Western Islands Press published books against communism by Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston. The famous novelist on religious themes Taylor Caldwell was a long time member of the JBS Council as well. See her novel Captains and Kings for most JBS theories. A very substantial percentage of JBS folks are Catholic.

If I were more familiar with JBS, I suspect that one could do a similar rendition as to Jews close to Welch and active in the JBS.

Can you recite one, just ONE instance of terrorism perpetrated by the JBS in its entire near 50-year existence? I didn't think so. You owe an apology.

"...a bunch of catholic and jew hating whackos!"

That's a mighty broad brush you're painting with. For the better part of the last 35 years the local leader of the JBS in my area is or was an Orthodox Jew. There are many Blacks within the JBS. You're believing the left wing press.

I am part Jew, Indian, and Italian but I stand behind the JBS. I do not support the Catholic Church, the Vatican, or the Pope for they support terrorists like Fidel Castro. For example, the Pope was seen mingling with Fidel in the year 2000. I am not anti-Catholic but much of what the church stands for is socialism and communism. America was founded under Judeo-Christian values. Socialism is the enemy of Judeo-Christian. When a country adopts socialism, it adopts a religion which attempts at every measure to defame, discredit, and destroy God, family, and Country.

Those who aim to destroy what this Country was founded under are not welcome in this Country!

The President of the JBS is John McManus, a Roman Catholic, who frequently writes for the Fatima Crusader.
