I know very little about JBS but have heard of them. Someone sent me this video the other day of JBS founder John Welch with portions of two speeches he made, one in 1955 at a dinner celebrating JBS” inception and one from another gathering in 1974.

I think you would be interested in it as all the points he brought up regarding government is exactly what is happening in the country today.

I have two ways of coping with this. One is to tell myself that the Birth/chers are not real conservatives because they represent only fringe. The second is simply to remind myself that if they are conservatives, I am not.

Still, the either/or aspect is frustrating, because either they are conservatives or they are not, which means either I am a conservative or I am not.

How much am I supposed to care about a label?

Hey asshole, suppression of dialogue is a feature of totalitarians, not liberals. If you had half a brain you would debate me, not delete me. But thinking is such hard work, isn’t it?

Have a nice day!!!

You seem to be raving. The John Birch Society is nothing, and it has not had any influence on anything since the 60’s. To bring up such a marginal group in such a grandiose way is worthy of The Daily Kos or The Huffington Post. Keith or Rachel would love to talk to you. Or, you could go work for Janet Napolitano and find those “man made disasters.” Let me me know when you have finished your round of shock treatments.

The Democratic party has for many years used a strategy of marginalizing their opponents by giving them a name meant to demean.

So the John Birch Society isn’t a bunch of whack-job nuts?

The Democratic party has for many years used a strategy of marginalizing their opponents by giving them a name meant to demean. They have characterized their opponents this way and then let the term go viral, as it gains strength through media mentions and Internet buzz. The word ‘birthers’ was designed for this purpose. Few people mention that a life-long Democratic politician first brought the question of the president’s place of birth to light. There has never been a legitimate, bonafide answer to the question. People who ask this question are not conspiracy theory nuts. They are being mischaracterized. Those who believe that the Bush administration blew up the twin towers have no basis for their claims. Those wondering about all the fuzzy evidence surrounding the birthplace question have a legitimate concern. Labeling them as ‘birthers’ is part of a strategy. Those who have adopted it may not even know that they are part of something resembling a conspiracy in technical terms more so than the people asking the birthplace questions.

Tom,
‘I’m heartbroken that conservatism, or the hysteria that’s masquerading in its name, continues to careen off the rails.’
Couldn’t agree more.
What happened?
I have looked at your website and there are some issues I would see differently. However, that is beyond the point. You, or Rick, at least make an effort for rational, coherent arguments. For whatever reasons that doesn’t seem to go over well.
