I try never to blame "conspiracy" for what is better explained by greed, self interest, and stupidity.
Come on, do you actually think that Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, or John "Abscam scumbag" Murtha would be allowed to participate in ANY self respecting conspiracy ? Do you really think those self aggrandizing blabbermouths would be TRUSTED by REAL conspirators, especially Murtha who has already ratted out one conspiracy.
Be that as it may, the slide toward dictatorship must be stopped by whatever means are available to the few ramaining Americans who manage to retain a shred of common sense.
