It's amazing that he said we should accept the WC because the truth is too awful.

I didn't say that. I said that if you accept emotion instead of reason and logic as acceptable reasons to think or do something then you will fall into accepting Democrat policy arguments. They have passed a lot of gun control laws for instance, not because they are effective but because they need to be seen to be "doing something." Same for affirmative action -- it may be destructive to the republic, but they can appeal to people's emotions to pass legislation. They want to curb greenhouse gas emissions not because it will be effective in reducing global warming, but emotional arguments have swayed a lot of people that SUVs are the cause of global warming. Same with the Kennedy assassination. It is more comforting to belive in a vast conspiracy than it is to belive that one loner shot the President 40 yeras ago. But holding that incorrect belief corrodes the fabric that holds the nation together. And that is not good when it is based on a lie. We should tar and feather those in government who would conspire to assassinate a President, but to make false insinuations about good men (some already in their graves) to advance a leftist political cause potentially undermines our way of life.

Believing a Democrat killed a president is not going to make me vote Democrat! lol

No it's not! I don't enjoy being angry at those that were in government. But we can't ignore the fact that there are evil people in the world. Ignoring them won't make them go away.

But holding that incorrect belief corrodes the fabric that holds the nation together.

Correct, actually.

SBT is a lie.

Advance a leftist cause?! Johnson was a socialist. How does pointing out his crimes advance a leftist cause?

FC, please, didn't you read what I and others have said about the HSCA refuting the WC?

The HSCA determined that LHO fired 3 shots, 2 of which hit the Pres, but that there was some sort of conspiracy, though they could not say who the other gunman was?
