As a 54-year member of the John Birch Society JBS, I do not intend to go down the unlimited “rabbit trails” that US Term Limits Lobbyist Ken Quinn presented in his attempt to persuade the readers with “what he calls truth” in his 3/16 article about how great a solution Article V Con-Con’s would be to to fix the Constitution.

Blaming the Constitution for FedGov abuse of power and proposing single amendments as the solution is the strategy for both he and his former boss, co-founder of the Convention of States, Mark Meckler follow. However, during his speech at the HCR 1 Hearing, a Resolution for Fiscal Restraint, and his article March, 16th on Granite Grok on HCR 4 for “Term Limits,” he spent more time smearing the John Birch Society than he did promote these Article V Conventions.
Over five decades my personal experience hearing all the false charges aimed at the JBS, none of them have been true. Our operating procedure slogan, “Education is our total product, and truth is our only weapon,” still stands untarnished. We say the Constitution isn’t broken. It just needs to be obeyed. Friends in this war for liberty tell us that our magazine The New American.com is considered by many to be the intelligence digest of patriotic organizations. But the term “right-wing” is confusing.
Most folks accept the establishment’s deceptive recognition of the political spectrum that starts with both the Marxist wings on each end. But “Hitler’s Nazism – total right” and Communism are not total opposites. A true analysis identifies the Marxist as 100% leftwing total government: Nazism, Fascism, Socialism, and Communism, with Anarchy and zero government on the total right. This makes Constitutionalists like the JBS who believe that “human rights come from God” the true moderates, while this accepted lie of the establishment makes the Hitler and Stalin opposites. A complete analysis of this can be attained in the 29-minute video, Overview of America, at JBS.org.
Congratulations to the NH legislature for voting down Convention of States HCR 1 & US Term Limits HCR 4. But over and above this victory, there is one big claim by Ken, the Lobbyist, that I want to set right. His claim is that he has answered JBS speaker Robert Brown’s Ten-Thousand dollar challenge by proving Brown wrong. As a matter of fact, Ken says Brown owes him the ten-thousand dollars. These are just words that should be backed up by face-to-face debate. This is what Brown wants. Until then, do your research. Do not believe either side on this critical issue.
Go to JBS.ORG and compare it with our opponent’s sources of information. Take into consideration that Marxist follow the slogan: “The end justifies the means as their moral premise. In this case, beware, the good end result of what you want these two amendments to achieve is a dangerous “procedure or means” that threatens our Constitution’s integrity whether you believe in either Term Limits or Fiscal Restraint. The moral premise that John Birchers believe in is “means are as important as ends.”
In your investigation, I recommend you tap into one of America’s greatest men, Booker T. Washington’s moral wisdom:
“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority.” You are the jury of public opinion. The verdict is yours.
