You know, that's a very good point, and reassuring.
I think Obama's "Civilian National Defense Force" could be defeated by a few open-air drug markets and the strategic positioning of pornographic magazines near their mobilization points.
I’ve had several people in the ‘in’ in DC tell me that politicians love to have conspiracy theories pushed because they want people to think they are capable and willing of such things. They don’t have to do anything but they can keep the more engaged people both fearful and ‘off the radar’. It doesn’t cost anything to make up a conspiracy theory, it is just a story. There are a lot of willing accomplices willing to play along and push them and enough people willing to set aside rationality and run with them.
