A healthy distrust of the government by the citizenry is a good thing but it’s getting pretty nutty around here. Some of the cr*p people are posting as fact on this and other sites is really becoming embarrassing. From day one this ammo story, the MRAP buys and the thousands of drones don’t pass the smell test for anybody who actually knows how these things work. Unfortunately these tall tales have really gotten some folks to go over the edge.
The administration certainly doesn’t help itself either by not providing prompt coherent and verifiable (without risking security) answers. Just my 2 cents.
“Unfortunately these tall tales have really gotten some folks to go over the edge.”
Which arguably, may be the desire of whoever keeps concocting them. If you want to demonize some group, one method is to goad them into doing something that the public will condemn.
I believe if the government ever does start rounding up dissenters, as some of us fear, it can only be after someone gives them the excuse to do so by turning the tide of public opinion against themselves. We couldn’t have put the Japanese in internment camps until Pearl Harbor happened.
