6. Sitting right next to Tipper, but never mentioned by the media, it seems,
was a Cheney ...

but, of course, since it was a Dem in there ... you got to hear all about the Dem wanting to take something away ...

2. Other - I am not sure of their name, but they think America is a conspiracy

of the Freemasons. I think they are more of a movement - they seem to fit in with other wacky/realy right groups.

Check their site: www.freemasonrywatch.org/

Got your basic paranoia, satanism, sick "christianity", militancy, all rolled into one. Something for every loon.
Lots of fun for a rainy weekend.

3. Birthers are the best example of Jonathan Swift's famous quote
"There are none so blind as they who will not see."

When you show them proof for Obama's birth they say,

YOU'RE PART OF THE CONSPIRACEEEEEEEEEE!



:rofl:

10. Reminds me of Col. Flagg on MASH
When his "conspiracy" just turned out to be a poker game he yelled "I see! This is bigger than all of you!"

14. And let's not forget Frank Burns
"As I see it unless we all conform, unless we follow orders, unless we obey our leaders blindly, there's no possible way we can remain free!"

5. Other: Organized religion.
Old books, chanting, arcane rituals, bizarre restrictions....and a political agenda.

7. I'd never use the word favorite -
liked or preferred above all others; regarded with special favor - to describe reich wingers.

IMO creationists are the nuttiest.

9. I'm going with the Confederacy
It's the longest lasting and provides the most entertainment.

15. The cult of the "Vienna school of economics"
Philosophically similar to the followers of Ayn Rand, only without their deep compassion and self-effacing sense of humor.
(relatively speaking :eyes: )
