Mr. Jones is one artful conspiracy loon. He is at least an equal opportunity one who is at least consistent in that he thinks everyone Republicans and Democrats are out to get him.

Honestly that is the only reasonable stance for someone who chooses to accept the conspiracy nonsense. The whole of the government at some level right and left would have had to worked together to pull off something of the magnitude of a 9-11. True conspiracies require so many co-conspirators that they soon collapse under their own weight of incredulity.

Conspiracies to succeed require an Al Qaeda style commitment. Politicians are by their very nature not good candidates because they are not very good at keeping their traps shut and are very self preserving and vainglorious.
They are also quick to back stab each other and exercise leverage against one another which usually ends up being their downfall. Such type also have a bad habit of writing down their escapades in diaries and spilling their guts to pretty call girls.

Mr. Jones and Mr. Paul are both right not to trust the government but they are wrong to believe it capable of genius and cunning that is not evident anyplace within it.
The little kings are too bust wasting money and taking smoke breaks to conspire to do anything but sneak out early when the tax payer isn’t watching. The great deceptions are those they make in plain sight. Promising free Health Care, promising to make us safer, leading us to believe learning requires billions of dollars and teachers paid and trained on a gold standard, telling us cutting taxes is spending, and that our soldiers are no better than shock troopers.

I could go on and on at the myths and lies and phony crud that is offered up on the plate of American politics by the very horrible chefs in Washington. Most are educated lawyers and that should trouble us only because it should make us truly skeptical of what it means to be educated. Believing one has special knowledge and attributing a grandness to the buffoons in Washington that they do not deserve is to confuse a man who is driving drunk with a man who is trying sincerely to run you down. Those in Washington are drunk with tax payer money and too busy looking at themselves on TV to conspire to do anything but fall prey to their own weaknesses and power hungry nature. That it leads to a socialist mommy state is not because great thought has went into it only that babies are prone to seek what makes them feel safe and those in power wish to make sure citizens need them to feel safe. They hunger for attention just as their supporters hunger to be fed and told they really aren’t perverts, baby killers, weak cowards, and lazy dumb asses.

The children of ignorance feed on the comforting breast dripping with pleasant illusions and snarl and snap at any hand that would take that breast away.
