24. Every voter should research the John Birch Society, to get an insight on Kochs and the Tea Party.

They are the John Birchers, II. And will do whatever it takes to keep as much money as they possibly can. Their ideology is not pure.. other than pure greed and racism. Their Dad was a major player in the formation of the John Birch Society, and their ideology and M.O. has been pretty much the same.. and the JBS was flat out racist, as are the Koch Bros.. I have no doubt that's another reason why they hate the President so much, and why their Tea Party has been curated through overt racism.

They need to be exposed to the average voter, but Fux News will never bite that hand that feeds them.
