When Buckley said that he was involved in a war with the John Birch Society. when the dust had settled Bill was standing there and the Birchers were limping off the field well and truly beaten and headed for the fever swamp where they belong. It was a big step in bringing the conservative movement into the mainstream of politics here. It's something the John Birch Society has never forgiven him for.
Ah, now I see.
Thanks for informing me, Valin.
Well, if it was the Birch Society that was sticking in the other poster's craw, that's one thing.
A much bigger slur against conservatives, however, is the one that claims we are responsible for the injustices towards blacks.
The Birch Society is no big deal, in comparison to that.
Thanks again.
