JBS.org: Robert Welch’s deja vu commentary

Posted By on December 10, 2009

Although I’m not a John Birch Society focused guy,  a friend of mine forwarded a YouTube video from its founder Robert W. Welch, Jr. compiled from 1958 and 1974 speeches (embedded below). Happy 51st Anniversary JBS.orgIt is interesting that after our American Republic watched the Soviet Union’s heavy handed, centrally controlled communist government collapse in the 1980s, that another generation of Americans would be facing a leftist movement from within its own country just 25 years later …  of course it is semi-disguised as spreading the wealth, social justice, and compassion. Why haven’t we learn from the failed political experiments recorded in thousands of years of history?

It is puzzling how blind and accepting Americans have become to an expanding and heavy handed federal government, particularly one that is willingly to give governing power and our assets to foreign entities. What are we doing my fellow Americans — see previous post? Don’t let your freedom and liberty erode … our Republic is not in good hands.

“The American Republic was bound—is still bound—to follow in the centuries to come the same course to destruction as did Rome. But our real ground of complaint is that we have been pushed down the demagogic road to disaster by conspiratorial hands, far sooner and far faster than would have been the results of natural political evolution. … We are being insidiously, conspiratorially, and treasonously led by deception, by bribery, by coercion, and by fear, to destroy a republic that was the envy and model for all of the civilized world.”
– Robert Welch, Jr. (1899-1985)

    Thanks for bring attention to the John Birch Society and for what it stands. It is more important to day than any other time in my lifetime — I”m 77 years old. I glad to see younger folks like yourself realized the founding principles and having the foresight to recognized what it is that we are trying to protect — American Ways. Thanks again.

    On a second note: I also sponsor a group to end the wars we are bogged down in overseas. They are unwinnable and our mititary should only be used to strike cells which threaten Americans — special forces in and out. And although I don’t know much about unmanned aircraft, using them to eliminate the threat when they are found would be far less costly than long drawn out wars having political consequences and losses to our brave servicemen.

    Robert Welch was a great political activist. He was a business man turned activist. He was against communism from the beginning and lost an election in 1950. He also wrote many books and I suggest young men to read “The New Americanism”. Its a great thing that we had great men long before.
