"...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..."

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.

Not just in troubled times - ALL the time. That's the bedrock of Conservatism. But the tinfoil hat conspiracy theory skinheads and their camp followers - the kooks, nuts and haters - are for the most part giving aid and comfort to the OPPONENTS of the Conservative cause with a constant blizzard of anti-government unproven, untenable and wildly reckless conspiracy and coverup allegations - while labeling themselves as Conservatives.

There is NO EVIDENCE that the crash of Flight 587 had a terrorist or otherwise intentional cause. Yet, literally within minutes after the disaster, springloaded tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists and their camp followers were on the attack and reviving their long ago debunked Flight 800 "missile shootdown" claims as support for their anti-government stance on the Flight 587 disaster, ignoring or oblivious to the fact that their Flight 800 allegations arose out of their own erroneous assumptions and sinister suspicions.
