John Birch Society
The John Birch Society is an Americanist organization founded in 1958 to fight what it saw as growing threats to the Constitution of the United States, especially a suspected communist infiltration of the United States government, and to support free enterprise. It promotes a conspiracy theory of history and has been marginalized within the conservative movement since the 1960s.
It was named after John Birch, a United States military intelligence officer and Baptist missionary in World War II who was killed in 1945 by armed supporters of the Communist Party of China, and whom the JBS describes as "the first American victim of the Cold War." His parents joined the society as life members.
Based in Appleton, Wisconsin, the society describes itself as "a membership-based organization dedicated to restoring and preserving freedom under the United States Constitution." It says that members come from all walks of life and are active in all 50 states via local chapters. Its mission is to achieve "Less Government, More Responsibility, and — With God's Help — a Better World."
The JBS was formed as an educational organization and does not endorse candidates.

Ever since its founding in 1958 by Robert Welch, The John Birch Society has been dedicated to restoring and preserving freedom under the United States Constitution.
Members come from all walks of life and are active throughout the 50 states on local, regional and national levels.
United by a strong belief in personal freedom and limited government, plus a sense of duty, members of The John Birch Society have educated millions of Americans on the appropriate role of government. Using educational and concerted action tools of a wide variety — including local lobbying, distribution of literature, email campaigns, news conferences, petitions, and more — members have played a continuous, pivotal role in halting legislation and federal policies that threaten the independence of our country and our people.

i imagine the rest room Birch Society contributors are solid patriotic human beings. they believe contained in the structure and that human beings are allowed freedom to settle on our lives because of the structure. i don't believe of each and everybody likes warfare, that's purely mandatory because of aggression. i imagine they seem to be a real probability to the left wing liberal socialists.

Look up their website. Essentially they are an Amerca-First style organization. They believe in ending nonsensical treaties such as NAFTA,CAFTA, etc. They understand, and try to educate the US on the danger and idiocy of being a member state in the Un.
That's the quick answer. I know a bit about them, as I tend to agree with them. Not a member myself, as I tend to be a lone wolf. They are seen mostly as a "right wing nut" or "extremist" organization.
I recommend looking 'em up on wikipedia or their site and making your OWN opinion based on the facts.

It is a private organization that keeps its eye on "big brother" government and warns the American people of its activities.
