If you read anything about The John Birch Society, their basic tenets dovetail nicely with the so called Tea Party movement of today. Just replace the word Obamacare with Medicare and socialist with liberal, and it reads like a carefully written script... which it is.

History often repeats louder in echo. The words "If you don't work, you don't eat" was first shouted so long ago, few people today can recall the dispicable tone of voice.
