1. Ack!

2. remember when they were the wackos who hid under rocks?
Now days they are the mainstream. I cannot wait for this thru-the-looking-glass nightmare to end.

20. They used to believe a commie behind every lamp post.
We still have one of those wackos in out town. I laugh at his LTTE.

6. I think we should know the agenda of our enemy.
Sign up for receiving information, going to meetings, etc.
What goes on behind those doors, yes, can make our heads explode, but we need to know what it is to effectively fight it.

BTW, what is with these backdrops?

10. Oh, the John Birch Society,
"Help them build the ranks,
To get this job a-moving,
We need lots of tools and cranks."

From "The John Birch Society", sung by the Chad Mitchell Trio in the early 1960s. The JBS was a joke, even then.

12. Yeesh. They're still around?

13. One word
Immigration. That is what came to my mind when I saw the title. I am guessing immigration should fill their ranks once more? (No TV here)

16. They are talking about immigration of course
after praying very fervently...

Ok ok they are a joke, but do they have any political power?

I just turned it off cos it sounded like a fundy sermon, but before I did, I perused their website.

jbs.org

They think the UN is harboring terraists ! egads.

17. I listened to some - you would be surprised. Says calling a war
is the role of COngress. The speakers berated Henry Hide of IL for saying No - that Congress being responsible for calling a war was an ananchronism.

I am very surprised with some of the stuff they are saying. They are not in sync with George's PNAC.
