Sharron Angle Speaks At John Birch Society Sponsored Event
Over the weekend, Nevada GOP Senate Candidate Sharron Angle spoke at an event that was co-sponsored by the John Birch Society:
The first Utah United Freedom Conference was held on September 18th, at the Radisson Hotel in Salt Lake City. The national sponsors of the event were The John Birch Society, Freedom 21, and the National Center for Constitutional Studies. Additionally, there were approximately 33 local sponsors including The John Birch Society, Utah Eagle Forum, Utah Farm Bureau, and the Utah Cattleman’s Association, as well as several 9/12 groups and others. The conference event was held through the day and was attended by 375 participants. …
The concluding speaker for the morning session was Steven Pratt, who has a Masters Degree in Education and did postgraduate work at the University of California at Berkley. He is working with the Center for Constitutional Studies and worked under the late W. Cleon Skousen. Mr. Pratt spoke on “State Sovereignty, the Original Concept.”
Throughout the afternoon there were three breakout sessions featuring 13 different classes — all of which were focused on issues concerning constitutional government and individual liberties. Booths in the hall represented several of the participating organizations. The John Birch Society, for example, was present with two booths featuring books, magazines and DVDs to help inform the participants. Attendees found a wealth of additional knowledge and tools to help with their organizations.
The evenings event concluded with Speakers Rep. Carl Wimmer (“Working to pass the Nullification Act to Obama-care in the Utah State Legislature.”) and Sharron Angle, (U.S. Senate Candidate, Nevada).
Does noboby remember that William F. Buckley Jr drummed these people out of respectable conservatism 45 years ago ?

Oh we’re meeting at the courthouse at eight o’clock tonight
You just come in the door and take the first turn to the right
Be careful when you get there, we’d hate to be bereft
But we’re taking down the names of everybody turning left
‘Cause we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save this country from a communistic plot
We’re the John Birch Society, help us swell the ranks
To get this movement started, we need lots of tools and cranks
Now there’s no one that’s certain that the Kremlin doesn’t touch
We think that Westbrook Pegler doth protest a bit too much
We only hail the hero from whom we got our name
We’re not sure what he did, but he’s our hero all the same
Join the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Socialism is the ism dismalist of all
Join the John Birch Society, there’s so much to do
Have you heard they’re serving vodka at the W.C.T.U.
Well you’ve heard about the agents that we’ve already named
Well M.C.A. has agents that are flatly unashamed
We’re after Rosie Clooney, we’ve gotten Pinky Lee
And the day we get Red Skelton won’t that be a victory
For we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Norman Vincent Peale may think he’s kidding us along
But the John Birch Society knows he spilled the beans
He keeps on preaching brotherhood, but we know what he means
We’ll teach you how to spot ’em in the city or the sticks
‘Cause even Jasper Junction is just full of Bolsheviks
The CIA’s subversive and so’s the FCC
There’s no one left but thee and we, and we’re not sure of thee
Oh we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save our country from a Communistic plot
Join the John Birch Society, holding off the Reds
We’ll use our hands and hearts, and if we must, we’ll use our heads
BRIDGE: (O beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain)
spoken: Friends, do you want Justice Warren to be your Commissar?
Do you want Mrs. Khrushchev in there with the DAR?
You cannot trust your neighbors, or even next-of-kin
If mommy is a Commie then you gotta turn her in
To the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the right
Join the John Birch Society, as we’re marching on
We’ll all be glad to see you when we’re meeting in the John
In the John, In the John Birch Society
I just got a piece of junk mail from Ms. Angle asking for a campaign donation. I live a good 2000 miles from Nevada, have never donated to a Republican, and frankly think she’s a twit. How exactly did I get on her mailing list?
