So, they're still kicking, are they?

A relative used to be a Bircher. I don't know if he still is.

@dyslexia,
I hear their published works make great kindling. Other then that I wouldn't come close to touch their conservative propaganda without wearing a Level A hazard suit.

@dyslexia,
Thay were a single issue organization,
which was defense from communism.

Now that communism is dead,
I wonder what thay are doing to occupy their time.

Oh, we're meetin' at the courthouse at eight o'clock tonight
You just walk in the door and take the first turn to the right
Be careful when you get there, we hate to be bereft
But we're taking down the names of everybody turning left

Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save our country from a communistic plot
Join the John Birch Society, help us fill the ranks
To get this movement started we need lots of tools and cranks.

...

Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save our country from a communistic plot
Join the John Birch Society holding off the Reds
We'll use our hand and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads

Do you want Justice Warren for your Commissar?
Do you want Mrs. Krushchev in there with the DAR?
You cannot trust your neighbor or even next of kin
If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in


((oh, the memories))

Thay informed themselves; thay r not stupid.
Thay have become quite capitalistic n rich, or a lot richer,
tho thay remain essentially as a military dictatorship.

Admittedly, North Korea n cuba remain in the clutches of communism.
Maybe thay r what the JBS is aiming at; I dunno.

@djjd62,
Don't forget the sickly state of Cuba. Shouldn't someone mention the demise of Communism to them as well?

Hoping to find out a lot more about their activities in 2010 from this thread, dys.

No, but I wish that he had been more supportive of Joe McCarthy.

@OmSigDAVID,
Haven't you heard? Communism has oral herpes, tuberculous, and hepatitis c so mouth-to-mouth isn't an option.

You don't give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to something that is dead.

Communism is and remains dead,
as an imperialist enterprize in taking over the world,
as marx desired; i.e., there is no threat of cuba nor of north korea
taking over the world. Admittedly, north korea remains a
military threat to South Korea.
