Hi Craig Weinberg I really don't know much about the John Birch Society, but googling it up, find that it was once falsely accused of being racist, no doubt due to over-zealous liberal hatred of conservatism.
The KKK was very racist. As far as I know it's mostly dead. Good. A greater sin, IMHO is political correctness, supported by Al-qaeda, which is sending America down the toilet. If you don't see that, no amount of explaining on my part will enlighten you.

I never saw racism in what what I wrote until you brought the subject up. Are you familiar with the KKK? The John Birch Society? Would you call those liberal organizations? I don't want to get into a political flame war, but just so you know, liberals do not see the world in terms of race, but they are prejudiced against conservatives because they see them as people who are unaware of their own ignorance of the facts and uncaring of the consequences of that ignorance. Of course that may not be the case, but any of the hundreds of millions of liberals who might read what you have written there will interpret it in precisely that way. Personally, my theory is that people generally imitate or contradict the political orientation of the first strongly political person they are exposed to in their life. Usually a parent or older sibling - if they like them, they see the political world through their eyes, if they dislike them, they seek to prove themselves unlike them. It's really that simple. Very few people research politics methodically and impartially and formulate a set of opinions based on 'facts'.
