Darkwolf, even though I posted this thread and trust Palin’s judgment on things like this, I still don’t know much about JBS. I would like to know more about the controversies surrounding them out of curiosity. Can you please tell me more or lead me to an article with more information? That’d be great!
Try the book “Unholy Alliance” for some hair raising insights.
My parents were Birchers, in the late 60’s, not radicals just mistrusting of the government.
Not Hippies,just ordinary people, that were classified as Birchers because they didn’t trust or have full faith in the government.They were very conservative,believed in owning guns,self-reliant,always had food stockpiled.
Taught us kids to be independent,to know that if someone says Don’t worry be Happy,we will take care of everything,be afraid, be very afraid!
I dislike it when people post one article reflecting their own point of view as “proof” when asked to back up such opinions, so do a search yourself and make up your own mind. I’d suggest such search terms as “John Birch Society” and “William F. Buckley” or “Illuminati”. They’ve been charged with racism and anti-semitism by many, but to be blunt, I was so against them that I never bothered to even investigate that stuff much, because I’d personally heard enough Birchers say racist things that it didn’t matter to me much whether these were isolated cases or indicative of the group—I’d already decided my own opinion on them and didn’t need to think about that stuff where they were concerned.
