There's an opinion, common to John Birchers, that the world is controlled by the Jewish Bankers.
On "opinions"... go ahead and have lots. But when you have such meager grounds for asserting the truth of them, then have the balls to admit to yourself and anyone else that you are in pretty much the same position as a John Bircher on Jewish Bankers.
Blatham -- I graduated from college in 1969. A classmate was already in the officer training program for the military.
This girl's parents were married in uniform in an Army chapel during WWII and she thought that was the epitome of romance.
Her mother was a member of the John Birch Society but the daughter was advised by her mother not to join, lest she not be commissioned.
She was a history major and I was a political science major. These subjects were under one chairman, a genial man who had been kicked out of Cuba by Castro. When we took the GRE, he simply left our results on a table in his rather lovely office. A friend of mine, a history major, and I approached the good professor, asking for our results. He was at lunch and told us just to go to his office. We did. There were only three test score packets left: our's and the above described girl's.
Dolores, my friend, looked at the packet and at me and back at the packet and back to me. "Should we peek?" she asked. I wanted to as much as she did. The future lieutenant scored in the 2nd percentile . . . which means that 98% of all those taking the same test outranked her. We were stunned.
Anyway, the future lieutenant always said, "You've been duped by the Communists," at some point during every political discussion she participated in.
I say that several here have been duped by the Capitalists.
That's my take on the JBSociety.
