Just returned from the annual town festival and it was depressing. |
|
It's the town where I grew up.
Don't get me wrong. Lots of nice stuff including a play for the kids and stuff for them to bounce on. Tasty food. Community organizations soliciting for donations and volunteers.
And yet . . . there were two distinct booths. One for the Mahwah Tea Party and the other for the John Birch Society.
No republican or democratic clubs. Just the extremists. While I didn't see a crowd of folks chatting at either table, I'm sure there were individuals who took literature to read later.

5. The way I see it is that they start small but are persistent. They build |
|
memberships in innocuous settings. They are a threat.

6. The Koch boys should be muzzled and kept on very short leashes. |
|
The way that they spread their droppings around really creates a stench where ever they go.
