Sounds as though they're recruiting them at that vulnerable stage

What relationship would DUers say the Federalist Society

has to the Birchers?

In my mind they're the well-educated (lawyers) branch, but may be even more dangerous, influential, and insidious because of that.

Isn't the federal gubmint full of graduates of

Liberty University, placed there during the GWB years? And likely staying in US gubmint for the rest of their careers?

And Oh, how they hated it when MLK won

the Nobel Peace Prize.

As much - maybe more- than when Pres. Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

I will comment that MLK was already deeper into his life work of promoting Justice and peace than our Pres. was when BHO won the award. However, BHO won it fair and square, and I won't take anything away from him for winning on the early side of his life work.

Didn't other Birch billboards also say 'Get US out of UN"?

Teas would likely want to do that as well.

We need to hear that every now and then.

I understood he announced after he went into the hospital.

Now that he's passed on, there will be an interim election, and that may scramble the foregone conclusions.
