    How is it that you need a background check to own a gun but not to run a country?
    Perfect example of a right wing conspiracy theorist.

    Boehner is a left wing conspiracy theorist?

    Boehner: Ending abortion ‘one of our most fundamental goals this year’

    I understand the urge to grasp at straws here to draw some sort of false equivalency, but saying that R's are against abortion is just noticing what they are saying outright. That stuff is straight from the horse's mouth.

    Let me google that for you.

    There was plenty of talk on here about it too.

You know for example that the survivalists, the Arian nation, and even some members of the group now known as the Tea Party, to name but a few, were also among the ranks of the "crazy" theorists regarding Cheney and Bush. And still are.

    Meanwhile, as of Jan 27, 2013, republicans are in my opinion, the king conspiracy theorists. And I personally have never met a truly intelligent or intellectual conspiracy theorist. Have you ?
    OK, here's a question for you. What value does this analysis/discussion provide other than as a tool to try and drive a deeper wedge between the two dominant US political parties.

    The constant attempts to correlate mental attributes to one party or another (based on anecdotal evidence) is a tiresome, worthless activity that only serves to piss people off.

    Kudos.

    Anyone who believes he (or the Repubs) could do it is a left-wing conspiracy nut.

    Just as anyone who thinks Obama can ban guns is a right-wing conspiracy nut.

    Neither side has the votes to further their radical agenda.

Like a good little troll, you spout nonsense and when it is proved to be nonsense you just ignore the proof and go on to your next spouting. Both sides have nut jobs but their visibility is inversely proportional to their party holding the presidency.

    I did back it up. You ignored that per your usual mo.

    It is my fault though. I time and time again fail to learn the lesson that it is impossible to have an adult conversation with you.

    Nice job incriminating yourself.


    Also you might want to look up "Conspiracy Theory". You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

    You're going to have to elaborate on these a bit because you're just shouting stuff and it makes no sense. How is Global Warming in and of itself a conspiracy theory? How is genetically modified food a conspiracy theory? Also, it's not a conspiracy theory in the least that the right want's to stop abortion. It's part of the pary platform for goodness sakes. Just because it's virtually impossible for them to get it done doesn't mean they don't legitimately want to do it.

    The Global Warming backfires on Jeebus in a spectacular way, in fact. In that case, the conservative opinion requires them to believe in a massive scientific conspiracy. That's not a fringe belief either, global warming denial conspiracy theories are mainstream among conservatives.
