“Why is all of this important?

Obama is seizing on this incident to take away your 2nd amendment rights.”

Alright, this is really, in my opinion, the heart of the matter. Yes, he is seizing on the incident and using it for political cover for gun control. I doubt anyone on FR will dispute that.

Now, they’re still investigating Sandy Hook, and nobody knows what the full report will turn out to be. In the meantime, Americans on the whole accept the “official” story that we know, and they aren’t likely to be convinced of any conspiracy theory, at least not very quickly. It took decades, countless books, television specials, a publicized court case, hearings in the House of Representatives, and a major Hollywood motion picture before most of America was convinced that the Warren Report version of the JFK assassination was probably not the whole story. No conspiracy theory, even if it is successful, will catch on with the majority of the public very quickly.

So, if your goal is to stop Obama’s gun control agenda, which he is pushing right now and trying to accomplish quickly, then what is the point of pursuing conspiracy theories? Even if you were right, and could eventually find the evidence to convince a majority of the public, you will not be able to do so in time to stop Obama. In fact, in the short term, you’re probably being counterproductive to that goal, since your speculations can be used to tarnish right wing opposition to Obama’s proposals as the stuff of conspiracy theorists.

Basically, what I’m saying is, if we want to stop Obama, this may be the worst possible strategy to go about doing so. We should be focusing on stopping him whether the Sandy Hook story is 100% factual or 100% horsecrap, and our tactics shouldn’t depend on either one necessarily being the case, it should be completely irrelevant.

So true! Yet some people claiming to be conservatives cannot understand this and instead insist on obsessing over their irrelevant suspicions.

Maybe they are crazy or maybe they are DUmmies trying to create the appearance of craziness on FR.

My goal is not to stop Obama’s agenda.

IMO, he can’t be stopped.

The people that could do so that have checks and balances on him are going right along with him.

It is my opinion that things are going to have to get really bad..and I mean really bad..before people will wake up to what Obama has done to them.

I just hope it isn’t too late- but it will take decades to recover from the mess that is about to hit us -especially with the new Justices he is going to appoint.
