#1 This article makes me very uneasy.

This magazine and its origins make me uneasy. Nothing good can come from the John Birch Society.

#2 What I think is that this is utter nonsense, published by people who have a long history of seeing vast, anti-American global conspiracies everywhere they look. All you're going to achieve by continuing to listen to these idiots is to get yourself completely, thoroughly confused.

#3 TV or Not TV? Not!
TV programming is designed to shepherd viewers into compromising their values. To preserve freedom, Americans should severely limit or entirely eliminate their TV viewing.

LOL. A wholely owned subsidiary of Alcoa.

#4 Joe stupid thought he was a patriot. But is he really???? Even though it "appears", on the surface, that Bush has taken appropriate unilateral actions - it's all just a evil ruse designed to fool the Joe-stupid's of the world. Underneath the happy surface lurks a dark and sinister plot. BWwahhhahhahha.

This is your basic enlightenment of "Joe" stupid. The only thing missing are the sounds clips of Joe-stupid driving a pickup truck, opening a beer can and the babies cooing/crying in the background as he speaks.

#10 oops...just reread my post and think it sounds like I was insulting tipper. I didn't mean to imply tipper was being enlightened...just pointing out the propaganda technique of using a ficticious straw man who sees the light.

As in all propaganda pieces, they are most effective when they contain a kernel of truth..as this one does. I too feel uncomfortable with the money we give to an organization that constantly undermines us. So, I think Tipper's worry is valid. But it's a difficult political line that Bush has to walk on the UN issue and this piece is just an attempt to hurt him politically by making the "newly elated patriots" believe that perhaps his motives are far more sinister and evil than they appear on the surface.

#11 I hardly even realized the Jack Acid Society was still around.

And so is Lyndon LaRouche, the Left's answer to John Birch. Got accosted by one of his minions last month doing a 'survey' of some sort. He got pretty ticked off when I asked him if L.L. would be out of prison by the time the Democratic convention. End of that survey.

#14 liberalhawk, I'm pretty sure he got the link from a COMMENT, not from one of Charle's posts.

#15 I know a guy who reads the New American religiously.
He also owns 100 guns, lives in a barricaded compound complete with bunkers and slit trenches, and refuses to get on the 'net for fear of gummint-spying.
