At least with the arts they have something to show for their money.

(21,226 posts)The John Birchers have taken over the house. As a kid growing up my dad refused to buy welch's grape juice for me because welch was a John Bircher, the Koch' father was their big funder. To this day I will never drink welch's grape juice.
