:::'''"Nothing could do more to discredit all conservatives than the violent language and unreal views regularly found in American Opinion. As several conservatively-inclined gentlemen have remarked to me...they would be sorely tempted to believe that the leaders of the Birch Society are agents of the Kremlin subtly working to discredit all opposition to Communism by reducing anti-Communism to absurdity. All Americans of a conservative bent should be warned against associating themselves with an organization which is totally ineffectual in resisting Communism and socialism..."'''

::::I understand that factual reality is something you refuse to accept, but I'll still explain, once more. I have some questions:
::::*1) You falsely claim that the reality that the U.S. (and the West) is gradually becoming increasingly left-wing on political and cultural issues (sexuality, immigration, guns, bureaucracy, historical revisionism, etc.) is merely "''standard extreme right rhetoric since the 1920's''". How is this false, and explain why so many conservatives who have absolutely no connection to JBS (Daniel Horowitz, LifeSiteNews, The Epoch Times, etc.) believe the same thing? Do you seriously believe our society is more conservative/traditional than in the 1920s?
::::*2) You falsely claim that "''the ENTIRE conservative movement in our country has rejected''" JBS. If so, explain why so many conservatives with absolutely no connection with JBS (Daniel Horowitz, Breitbart News, LifeSiteNews, Virginia Thomas, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, Human Events, etc.) have identical opinions on political and cultural issues as JBS? Also, I have only been reading TNA for less than two years, and before that, I regularly read/watched other conservatives such as Breitbart, LifeSite, and Tucker -- I found no ideological differences between them.
::::*3) You claim that "''Conservatism is a continuum. It is NOT one single absolute truth''" -- whatever that even means. I hope you aren't trying to claim that the Koch brothers, Jennifer Rubin, Max Boot (all of which don't even consider themselves conservative anymore), Angela Merkel, and Emmanuel Macron are somehow "conservative." Since when did conservatives support abortion, the homosexual/trans agenda, open borders, and a more powerful/centralized government? The principles of conservatism are found here: [[Conservative]]. Do you disagree with any of them? Does JBS disagree with any of them?
::::Not only are you trying to discredit the entire, modern JBS through a few selective quotes from the 1960s/1970s (I wonder if Larry McDonald, murdered by the USSR in 1983, was also some Soviet double agent as you claim?), but you're also trying to argue against several facts accepted by the broad majority of conservatives today, who have realized that "Conservative Inc.", found in the National Review and Weekly Standard, have been ineffective at promoting conservatism and have even allowed the Left to make gains. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 11:15, 2 July 2019 (EDT)
