You obviously feel strongly about this, and I am wondering why you even regard it as a “thing.” I haven’t heard of the JBS for decades, so why are we worrying about it?
DIOGNESES: Apparently, you have not been keeping up with the news.
During the past week or so, JBS members around the country have been plastering websites with libelous attacks upon a Washington Post opinion columnist because of comments which he made in a recent Post column that referred to the JBS.
So, it becomes “a thing” when dozens of messages are posted which present false or misleading information — particularly when anybody who dares to criticize the Birch Society is IMMEDIATELY described as a deliberate LIAR!
I don’t know about you — but I want to live in a country where amicable and civil discussion is welcomed and celebrated. I don’t want political extremists (of left or right) to dominate our discussions nor do I want political extremists to present themselves as the SOLE arbiters of what is decent, honorable, principled, moral or patriotic.
THAT is why I regard this as “a thing” — and I hope you do too.
