The John Birch Society didn’t just have it out for pinkos. They hated: Social Security, the Fed, income taxes, welfare, foreign aid of any kind, urban renewal, integration, the civil rights movement, and … the brain-bending practice of water fluoridation.

Culture-shocked Americans in the 1960s were all too happy to take directions from the John Birch Society: take an extreme right and drive forever.
