[White Eagle]

It appears the Daily Kos has come up with the description of our Congress. I think it fits. What else could it be?

Birch Society Republicans: America Now Has Three Major Political Parties

by bontemps2012Follow

We are seeing a measurable fracture, a two-part breakage to the Republican Party. This results from infiltration of the GOP based on contributions from the same families and sources of money that financed the John Birch Society from the beginning. Birchers in the House are pursuing JBS goals and recycling JBS slogans.

This is the Birch Society, not the populist Tea Party from 2009.

Effectively, based on "Fiscal Cliff" votes and the changeover to 2013, we have three distinct caucuses in the House of Representatives:

-- Regular Democrats (now 201 Members)

-- Business Republicans (84 Members)

-- Birch Society Republicans (150 Members)

Is that the same "John Birch Society," That my Mom and her Sorority sisters were sure murdered Kennedy back when she was at SMU in the 60's? The "fluoridation" is a Gov conspiracy Birchers?

Those guys have generation of tin foil hats on their racks.

I worked for a Bircher when I was in college in the early 80's. He scared the crap out of me, but I needed the money. His ideas on government and minorities are little different than the so-called Tea Party ideas are now. So to answer the question....it all fits. Same ideology...different name.

Yes

Father of the Koch brothers was Fred C. Koch, who was very active in the John Birch Society.

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Well, blame went to the Kochs. Believable to me.

I read a few years ago that the "Tea Party" is really the John Birch Society in a new dress.

Take off you tin hat. The John Birch Society did not kill Kennedy. A liberal did.

Label much?

You're trying to tell us that Lee Harvey Oswald was a liberal?

You have to forgive Ben, Chrisrobin, "liberals" hide under his bed and jump out at him in the night shouting "BOO!!!"

Liberals: threat or menace? The one on the left (where else?) might be the real George Soros! For all we know, Attila (the Hun) was a liberal.

[Benvolio]

Yes, LHO was very liberal. Slightly more liberal than today's liberals will admit, but he, like Obama, was a student of Marxism. I think the two of them would agree on most things.

Apparently Benvolio, having sacrificed any shred of credibility that you ever might have hoped to cling to....you have descended to the level of self parody.

Thanks for the laugh this morning.

You can go back under the overpass now.

[pat grimshaw]

You could say Lee Harvey Oswald was Communist.

But do any Communists still exist in the 21st century? All of them here closed down or changed their label in the 1980s.

[White Eagle]

This ought to the just the thing for Ben.

I am facepalming so hard.

[Kulindahr]

Corrected for accuracy.

It was a Bircher who managed to become local Libertarian Party chair after my term... and now there is no local Libertarian Party -- she scared of anyone not white, the kids, and people with functioning brains.

Did it have an apron?

Down here we call that a face lift!

[palbert]

Shame this is not On-Topic and has so disintegrated.

With the move today by The (formerly) Main Street Republicans, opening idealogical discussions and common cause with moderate Democrats, the Tea Party may be marginalized.

I'm sorry, but I do have a habit of not naming it an on topic thread.
And I'm even sorrier that I have been part of disintegrating it. It really IS an interesting article.
I know we can use any kind of help in making decisions in DC. lol

No he just tells himself that to distract himself from the fact that they've seen his bunny pj's with the feet, fluffy tail, and ears.

If he were really worried about taxes he'd be far more concerned about the socialists lurking among his stuffed bears in the closet.
