John Birch Society	Bradd	08/24/06
Is this organization still influential within the right-wing now that Communism (at least the Soviet flavor) has collapsed? Is it still anti-Communist? I remember it claiming that Eisenhower was a "conscious member of the Communist conspiracy" and other odd notions, including what appeared to be a close association with the Christian fundamentalists. I don't hear much about it these days.
