JTF,
“Why don’t you actually read what they have to say so you can make an educated comment.
Prediksi168 | Main Slot Online Bareng dan Pasti Gacor Disini ! not as funny when you can actually follow along with the script.”
Actually, I wasn’t referring to anything specific that you posted - just making a gag at the often source of all evil: PNAC.
“Dismissing this ‘garbage’ out of hand is blind faith in authority figures.”
No, it isn’t. As I said before, applying common sense to the analysis is not blindy following authority.
“Have you never heard of Enron? What they did amounted to some of the largest terrorist events in the world. You think Cheney and Bush are any different than Ken Lay? - being that they’re good friends and all.”
Please - I lived in Houston when Enron imploded. Ken Lay knew everyone - and Enron’s money went to both sides of the aisle. Moreover, it was Bush’s Justice Department that went after Lay, Fastow, etc. - “with friends like that,…”
Rogue accounting practices of the later 1990’s was the scourge of the time. WorldCom was a bigger fiasco - why aren’t you whining about them? Fact is, the problems were far and wide - Enron was a spectacular collapse, but trying to link them to authority figures has already been tried. Old news.
“All you have to do is look after every single terror event. Without FAIL they introduce legislation to restrict your rights and freedoms while throwing gobs of money at new security measures and military defense…”
Yeah, and here is where you would find common sense handy if you had any available. Of course they introduce legislation after the fact. The legislature is reactive - in the same way you would be in buying an alarm for your home after you got robbed one time. Human nature.
Moreover, it is not exactly novel to note that civil liberties aften get squeezed in wartime. But how have you specifically had your rights taken away? Not hypothetical, but realistically?
“…but guess what? We’ll get attacked a different way the next time because those new security measures won’t cover the next area of attack.”
Welcome to the real world, the non-utopia. Actually, I am not as cynical as you, I think we have done some to prevent attacks. But can we ever prevent them all? Nope. So stop whining because we haven’t achieved perfection.
“BTW, they’re actually taking care of that “8 year” limitation thing. I’m sure you knew that - blind faith and all.”
Legislation gets introduced for all kinds of stuff - and in this case, so what? I am sure there is a big list of pros and cons in going beyond a second term - but you don’t have the vision to see that, because you reflexively think that every move made by a lawmaker - no matter the issue - has a sinister motive of eventual world dominance. Frankly, I pity you.
“Actually I do my own research so I don’t get ‘fed’ anything - I analyze the data and draw my own conclusions.”
I seriously doubt you ‘analyze the data’ - more likely, you read what other people have already ‘analyzed’. You’re not using original material on which to base your opinions, and that is OK, just don’t pretend otherwise.
“YOU, on the other hand, put your complete trust in authority figures so it is YOU who believes anything that is fed to you.”
Wow, this is about as effective as the “I know you are but what am I” defense. I don’t have complete trust in authority figures - never have. That’s why I am such a keen advocate of separation of powers, federalism, and limited government.
“So who is it that tells you not to believe in wacky ‘conspiracy theories’? That’s just more tin-foil hat crap - don’t even waste your time looking at it.”
So what tells me to believe in them?
If the conspiracy nuts were getting it right and getting dangerously close to the truth, don’t you think the dark New World Order would have shut them down or snuffed out the voices by now?
“How Bush’s grandfather helped Hitler’s rise to power
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.”
Yeah - heard this howler before.
“Huh, your common sense has you still believing the single truck bomb theory in spite of hearing otherwise - you sure you didn’t get the horseshit by mistake? That’ll happen occasionally when you rely on blind faith to make a purchase.”
This ‘blind faith’ canard has run out of steam for you - you have no currency to level such a charge when you automatically and mindlessly assume that an authority figure is lying and a some half-educated internet surfer has discovered all the secrets the government doesn’t want you to know about everything ever.
And I ask the question again and again - if you truly believe all this, why are you still here? Personally, I would have left the country a long time ago if I thought even a fraction of your conspiracies were true.
