Unacceptable thinking? My, you would think the PC thought police were involved. And here on FR, no less. You do realize that one of the advantages of a Free Republic is the freedom to question authority, right? You assume that even being open to blaming the government for intentional involvement in 9/11 is proof of unfitness for office, but the whole Tea Party movement is predicated on blaming the current government for intentionally racking up destructive amounts of debt and wresting control of the government from the hands of the people to the lone grip of the Marxists. Where is the fundamental difference? Isn’t a deep distrust of government the basis of constitutional protections, FROM government? Weren’t the founders King-George-Wants-to-Enslave-Us-with-Taxes truthers?
As for whether our government is capable of such horrors, I have belabored this on other threads and I bring it up again here: Pearl Harbor was a synthesis of Japanese and FDR administration actions. My dad was in the code room. I am fully convinced, based on his testimony, in combination with many corroborating facts, we did know, and we did intentionally send innocent Americans to their death on December 7, 1941, so that FDR would be able to keep his promise to Churchill to enter the war, for the “greater good.” I don’t like it. I wish it wasn’t so. But the evidence available to me strongly supports it. So please spare me the mind-control pabulum that we cannot at least question whether evil might flow from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It has before, it is now, it will again, and we must be ever vigilant against it. Quoth the Reagan …
Disclaimer: I do not find the arguments for 9/11 as an inside job plausible, and I have no affiliation with anything libertarian, especially Ron Paul. I belong to the Illinois Constitution Party, and as such retain the right to avoid getting into lockstep with anybody’s group-think.
Oh, please, spare me the thought police crap. Unacceptable thinking merely means she has forfeited a shot at being elected governor. She can think and say whatever the heck she wants, but saying she's not sure if the U.S. blew up the Twin Towers is unacceptable if she wants my vote.
I'm sure her comments would be more acceptable if she were running for Dennis Kucinech's seat.
First of all, stay in Illinois and fix all the problems your lovely state has that are being “shared” with the rest of the country. Secondly, what you say may be correct, maybe not, but that has no bearing on the 9-11 horror and the Muslim Jihadis that would like to kill us. And it certainly has no bearing on the veracity of Medina as would be governor. You have free speech but so do I. As I said, you have plenty to fix in Illinois without messing with Texas. You don’t have a rat’s ass idea of Texas politics.
It’s not distrust of conspiracies that drive us to Tea Party rallies. We *know* the Feds are not capable of doing everything they promises, much less want, to do. We’re *mad* at the spending and taxing, at the usurping of more and more power by the Feds.
