During the folk music craze of the 1960’s, the Chad Mitchell Trio released a song called “The John Birch Society” which made fun of the organization and accused the society of finding Russians under every bed. I grew up in a house where that idea was accepted, and it wasn’t until much later that I learned that the John Birch Society was actually on to something.<\/p>\n
These are some of the lyrics from the song:<\/p>\n
[Spoken]<\/strong> If mommy is a Commie then you gotta turn her in<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, it took a few years, but here we are.<\/p>\n Yesterday Breitbart<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n President Joe Biden\u2019s administration announced their plans to create ways for Americans to report radicalized friends and family to the government, in an effort to fight domestic terrorism.<\/strong><\/p>\n In a conversation<\/a> with reporters, one senior administration official explained the importance of stopping politically fueled violence before it started.<\/strong><\/p>\n “We will work to improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before violence occurs,\u201d the official said.<\/strong><\/p>\n The official cited the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s \u201cIf you see something say something\u201d campaign to help stop radical Islamic terror as a domestic possibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence,\u201d the official said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Biden began his presidency with a stark warning in his inauguration speech <\/a>about the \u201crise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.\u201d\u00a0On June 1, Biden described<\/a> the threat from \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d as the \u201cmost lethal threat to the homeland today.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The Biden administration said it would also work with large technology companies on \u201cincreased information sharing\u201d to help combat radicalization.<\/strong><\/p>\n Increased information sharing–you mean like unmasking the phone calls of political opponents? You mean like putting people in solitary confinement because they were arrested on January 6th while dismissing the cases against people who looted and burned businesses in the name of Black Lives Matter last summer?<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n The official added the Biden administration was taking the threat of domestic terrorism seriously and would redirect the focus of intelligence agencies on internal threats.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe are investing many agencies of the government and resourcing them appropriately and asking our citizens to participate,\u201d the official said. \u201cBecause, ultimately, this is really about homeland security being a responsibility of each citizen of our country to help us achieve.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The lyrics should read, “If mommy is a conservative, you gotta turn her in.”<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During the folk music craze of the 1960’s, the Chad Mitchell Trio released a song called “The John Birch Society” which made fun of the organization and accused the society of finding Russians under every bed.
