The John Birch Society (JBS) is an American right-wing political advocacy group. Founded in 1958, it is anti-communist, supports social conservatism, and is associated with ultraconservative, radical right, far-right, right-wing populist, and right-wing libertarian ideas.

...of a people repressed by society and their government since slavery,without pause to much but their ownership up until King and others began their push for recognition and full rights of citizenship, and with real scars and bloodshed at the hands of the federal government.

Nothing like Kirk's privileged victim-mentality, anti-American movement based on projection, misogyny, bigotry, racism, antipathy, avarice, and hatred.
