Thread Name: BS: Tyranny?
Subject: RE: BS: Tyranny?
GUEST, it pains me to have to say this, but you have been taken for a ride.
Let me explain.
You love this country and consider yourself a patriot. This is good. But part of your love is a refusal to see that this country is not perfect and that it's government sometimes drops the ball.
But your country is a great country and great countries don't make errors.
They can, however be betrayed, and that's what you felt in the face of 9/11.
Betrayal. And, since 9/11 affected the security of the Nation, betrayal on the higest levels. The Nation had been betrayed; YOU had been betrayed. Never again can you go to sleep, secure in the knowledge that nothing could harm you.
Of course, that's not been true for a long, long time, but you felt it was true.
Until 9/11.
The country had been attacked, security had been breached, and we had all been betrayed.
At this point just about everyone in the country knew that our anti-terrorism intelligence apparatus had messed up badly but you NEEDED more. You needed someone to blame, some individual or some evil cabal that had stopped our defenses from preventing this tragedy and Osama bin Laden didn't fill the bill. How could some raghead be greater than the United States?
No, it had to be an inside job and who better to run things than the Bush family. And so, using half-truths, mis-intertretations and outright lies, we come to the point that you are at now.
The sites you cite as "proof" of your allegations are written by people just like you and that's why they are so easy to believe.
They answer all your questions neatly and completely and you don't question them because it all just "fits".
Let me ask you this. How do you KNOW what the orders are for scrambling the fighters when an airliner goes off course? You got it from a web site? And did you check that ONE PIECE OF DATa all the way back to it's source and then check out the source?
Betcha didn't.
Try it. try and go back to the origin of the post. Try and find the actualwording of the order and don't just accept the word of "Air Force Major John R. Smith." He may not even exist.
In other words, GUEST< do some realintelligence gathering on your own instead of simply accepting what someone lese has said. As it stands right now, your stridency makes you a bufoon and your argument a joke.
