An oldie but goodie

[moonseller66]

Dated, but sums up today's right wingers, President Putin supporters and the Republican congress.

The comments are interesting.

1. All except the Putin folks

It's funny that they discussed the Russians so much and now the legacy of the right is cozying up to the Russians.

Best line though is:

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.

2. The Putin people

have stolen everything from the proletariat. That makes them heroes in GOP land.

3. The John Birch Society was financed by the Welch family, makers of Junior Mints.

4. And this organization is kept alive

by the sons of one founder, the Kochs. This is still their dream.

5. Here's another one on the same topic:

6. I still have the album

Bought it in 1963. I loved the Chad Mitchell trio.

8. Yup

My spouse was actually at the campus when they did the "Mighty Day" album. I've been listening to them my whole life. Little bit of historic trivia. The Chad Mitchell Trio was the first to record "Blowin' in the Wind". But their producer didn't like it and didn't release it. Then Peter, Paul and Mary recorded and released it and it went to #1. Oh, and the banjo player with them was Jim "Roger" McGuinn, who later on founded the Byrds.

9. And John Denver eventually replaced Chad Mitchell

Didn't like them as much after that.

7. The only difference is that the mainstream conservative establishment had the guts...

... to stand up to them when they tried to take over the Republican Party.

10. I was raised by Birchers

They thought they had a secret society, there was a communist under every bed. I finally dumped the suitcase full of literature, I wish I had it so I can review it.
Anything they didn’t like was a communist plot. If only they could see us now, the president in cahoots with KGB Putin.
