Do your political beliefs centre around any bizarre conspiracy theories?
I centre my political beliefs around the idea of an Axis of Evil consisting of the Chinese Communist Party, the Crown Princes of Saudi Arabia, and the Republican Party.

1. PNAC is a bizarre conspiracy theory...
But in this case, the conspirators are the ones with the bizarre theory.

2. I should have been more specific...
I mainly refer to the Jiang Zemin wing of the CCP and the PNACers/Christofascists when I talk about Chicoms and Repukes.

7. Have you read the PNAC proposal for endless war?
It is really bizarro.

10. That's not a conspiracy...
..that's called history.

If someone doesn't believe that the rich are planning to get richer on the backs of the poor, I'd consider them a fool, not a 'skeptic'.

4. I believe Bugs Bunny was the Secret God of the Templars
Pretty much everything else stems from that...

5. Bizarre? I think not. It Is Rationalism at its height.
To believe that the wealthiest fascists and totalitarians globally were NOT manipulating things to their benefit and everybody else's detriment - Now THAT would be a bizarre theory.

6. Here is what I believe
Giving tax breaks to the rich is a joke.

Here is the joke:

Do you know how rich people get rich?

They know how to save money.

Giving tax breaks to corporations is also a joke, why, because they pay people to save the corporation money.

I think the conspiracy is George W. Bush thinks he is going to run out of money if he does not give himself a tax break.

9. yeah, all of 'em . . .
sure, some are carried to extremes by the nutsies, but there's at least a grain of truth in most of them . . . taken collectively, that's enough grains to fill a silo . . . and enough to make one believe that there is indeed a select group of very rich individuals who are pretty much controlling everything . . . or at least trying to . . . that's leaves the rest of us standing around hoping to catch some of their droppings . . . I'd like to see it reversed, with the people back in control and the select few having to abide by the rigid standards and regulations that the rest of us put on their sleazy activities . . .

11. yeah, i'm down with the basic illuminati thing
