But it is, not that it will stop them though.
It shouldn't be necessary to remind the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists that this country is at war and that popping off publicly with sinister suspicions that incite suspicion, fear and hatred of our government gives aid and comfort to our enemies.
I was quite happy to believe it was mechanical failure until that bird theory came up. That bird theory was bird brained, and it got shot down in an hour's time. Now, it's air currents? Give me a break! If the government is going to lie to us, it darn well better come up with a good lie, or you PRO-ESTABLISHMENT PEOPLE are the ones with tin foil hats.
No, it's not necessary, because it's BS. Suspicion of government is the entire basis of the Constitution. Which agency do you work for, Mr Member since September 26, 2001?
There is nothing sinister about being suspicious of the government. It's the government coverups that led to 9/11 and got us to this point. It is the government who gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
You are as wrong as you are new to this forum.
The desire by some to guide, as well as possible, the shaky, stumbling footsteps of Washington in troubled times so that it does not itself (completely) cross the threshold into becoming an enemy of the Constitution is a good thing.
Those with an unquestioning loyalty to any passing regime that SUPERCEDES the Constitution are the ones whose actions are suspect among Patriots.
Keeping the Washington Regime as honest as possible (especially considering its poor track record in this area) is not giving 'aid and comfort' to our enemies.
Citing the prosecution of the (however welcome) pseudo-war du jour as a sort of blanket justification for additional trampling of the Bill of Rights is behavior that would suggest that the speaker of such words might themselves bear some scrutiny, however.
It shouldn't be necessary to remind you that our messy democratic republic with its open debate has beaten the stuffing out of repressive one-party governments for the last two hundred years.
Talking openly about our problems enables us to solve them. What a concept!
