[Count of Monte Fisto]

This Report explains why senior FBI officials (including FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover) came to the conclusion in FBI memos that the Birch Society was “extremist”, “irrational”, “irresponsible”, “fanatics”, and “lunatic fringe.”

Was this the same J. Edgar Hoover that denied the existence of the Mafia for decades and called those who warned about organized crime, including his own agents, "conspiracy theorists".

"I have in mind that I was originally advised by Rosen that the Mafia or anything like it in character never existed in this country. I have been plagued ever since for having denied its existence." J. Edgar Hoover, Dec. 30, 1970.

Actually, come to think of it. What is wrong with : Less government, more reponsibility, and with God's help - a better world? Which is the Motto of the Birch Society

Answer: Absolutely nothing

Calling those who see our liberties and way of life eroded by the minute “paranoid” for their strident rhetoric is like blaming the man pounding on your door warning you that your house is on fire for being loud and inarticulate.
