I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

I didn't realize they were still around. Nutters, mostly.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

They are for real...the Koch brothers' roots are from the Birchers. So, you might even say that the Birchers are part of the reason why the Tea Party exists. ;)

"They haven't gone away you know ..."

... even though it's been nearly 50 years since Bob Dylan sung about them:

God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson

I like it, can you imagine a child born into a family of John Birch loving nut jobs they would be so brain washed when they reached puberty they would be posting right wing crap on sites like this one. :react:

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.
