It's about time!!

I was wondering when it would stop being considered news, the opinion of this one idiot who became president through election rigging and has been wrong pretty much every time he's opened his piehole over the past 7+ years. The press shouldn't pay much more attention to this idiot than they should pay to Paris Hilton's political opinions.

Original article: "Hillary in the House"

Reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons

...where Homer starts rapping, while Bart and Lisa start pleading with him to stop. If that main guy has kids, it's gonna take years of therapy before they forget what a lame dweeb their dad is.

Whither Elephantman and Shooter?

Isn't it interesting how our resident authoritarian blowhards suddenly fall into a deafening silence when the utter stupidity of their president is waved in their faces?

@Gordon Wagner

I mean, honestly, how large a mountain of details would you need to see before you accepted that 9/11/01 was scripted?

For me, this mountain of evidence is lacking one crucial piece: another example of something the Bush Administration scripted, that was executed successfully. Otherwise, you have to compare the stunning success of the 9/11 inside job with things like Katrina, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the outing of Valerie Plame. When I make this comparison, I recall a lesson I learned from watching Sesame Street: One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong...

I don't buy the official story. I can imagine some corrupt elites figuring that an attack was likely, and deciding to turn a blind eye. But to imagine this group of bumbling imbeciles actually scripted this thing, involving hundreds of people all with competing interests, requires me to believe in too many things I know not to be true, the main one being "competence in government."

@Billion Angry Bees

I'm wondering, how many different ways can you find to declare your idiocy and vacuousness? With each of your posts continuing to underscore this point, I find the amount of variation you're able to provide to be quite staggering.

As you were...

I don't believe the official story, but here's an example of why 9/11 Truthers get ridiculed

Bill Owen:

As for Israel I did not say Mossad did the job, simply that they were there, and were celebrating. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/fiveisraelis.html

I read your link. There was absolutely no substantiation of the claim that Israelis/Mossad agents were high-fiving each other. To come away from that believing that this definitely occurred, requires a leap in faith, pure and simple. By definition, faith in a particular thing is not something shared uniformally, which is why your arguments sometimes fall on deaf ears.

To be sure, there are many, many questions about the official 9/11 story, and I don't for a minute buy the official one. But to replace the original cock-and-bull story with one that requires me to believe that the Bush Administration -- fercryinoutloud -- that showcase of incompetence we all know and love -- managed to pull off the crime of the century in front of everyone, requiring the cooperation of hundreds of people all of whom agreed to attack their own country for a nebulous purpose and then keep quiet about it (unlike every other secret the administration has tried to keep quiet). Compared to that, I'd say the official story is more credible.

Fortunately, I can understand that neither story is apt to be correct.

The important thing in learning the truth is to keep an open mind and look at the research as objectively as possible. Seeing Mossad agents high-fiving each other evidenced in that fact-free "he said/she said" article on WhatReallyHappened is about the same as seeing a missile dropping from the bottom of the 757 just as it crashed. Both are products of a mind that has already reached its conclusion and is creating the pieces to support it.
