The last time I posted anything related to the John Birch Society on this Blog; my hits just about went off the charts. My servers had smoke rolling out of them and I could have sworn that I heard that said server yelping a bit in agony. Okay, the second part was not true. Nevertheless, there were a good deal of people, that were very highly interested in that video; and this was before this blog really even took off.
This is Robert Welch, he was the founder of the John Birch Society. Contrary to what people like, Rachel Maddow might think; the JBS is not what the liberals and some Conservatives like to think that it is. Here is Mr. Welch giving a speech in 1974 telling of the goals of the Society. Now, honestly, where have you heard this stuff before? If you said Ron Paul in 2008, you get a gold star, if you say the majority of Conservatives TODAY; you get another big gold star. As old as this video is; its contents are timely, considering the mess that we are in today.
The second group of videos are a reposting of some videos that I have posted here before and a few new ones. The first is the actual story John Birch, the second is the founder of the JBS giving a outline of what the JBS is truly all about. The rest are various related to the subject at hand. Some are dated, some, are quite timely.
Really great post Pat. There was a lot of great material here.
It was great how right he was. How useful his 5 points are. Too bad it was the liberals who dominated education.
I literally got a severe case of goosebumps during the last minute of “The Adventures of Captain John Birch.”
I really like how he has the “individualist” thing and, seriously, we need values. Those damn communists. Yup, he sums them up… They work in secrecy and darkness… at 12 o’clock at night, not cautiously so it constitutes improvement.
At least Iraq and Afghanistan has oil… and it sounds like the Patriot Act, but take it a step further. Definitely scary.
Thanks man. Why I posted it.
