Then – suddenly and inexplicably – he went into a year-long hibernation. He rarely appeared in public and gave no major speeches. Finally he reemerged – albeit weakly – in late November or early December of 2005

Could it be that shortly after the president’s reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from America’s ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons – set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities – unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years?

Was America taken hostage?

The conspiracy theorist always makes the same logical error. Speculate, then build a second speculation on the first without testing the first. Then a third on the second, and so on, in a chain of speculation that soon loses track of itself.

It's some sort of mental pathology.

“To a wrongly stated question there can be no right answer. ...a fundamental question stated in a certain way can hold the minds of men in bondage for centuries, not to say millenia.”

Anders Nygren, Agape and Eros, p.47

“An explained thing, except for very resolute thinkers, is almost inevitably ‘explained away’. Speaking generally, it may be said that the demand for explanation is due to the desire to be rid of mystery.”

__________, The Seventeenth Century Background, p.14

Sound Familiar? From your FReep Page. Quite worthy of note for the above article. Don’t you agree?
