I heard some Bircher recently saying that the whole Soviet collapse thing was a fake to lull us into a false sense of security and bail out the Commies in Russia, who are just lying in the weeds waiting to take over.
What I'm amazed at, is given that the Birchers think every President since Eisenhower was either a Commie or a dupe, how has the U.S. survived the Communist onslaught for this long?
I don't believe that is an accurate statement about the John Birch Society. The Society believes that Communism is one part of a larger movement toward world government (and world domination by a self-appointed ruling class), which has not slowed one bit since the fall of the USSR. It would be more accurate to say that these Presidents were accomplices in moving the US toward world government, which was also a goal of Communism.
To see how we have held up, ask yourself if we have more independence today than we did twenty, fifty, one hundred years ago.
