It's funny... when the leader of Iran declares that he wants to "wipe Israel off the map" our commie friend argues that it's too great a leap of logic to assume that Ahmadinejad has any animus against Jews short of his directly saying so. But when conservatives or libertarians propose privatizing wasteful government programs like the Post Office or

conspiracies

[capt_oblivion]

I think you are going too far in dismissing conspiracies out of hand. You seem to reason; some leftist X believes that a small group of people planned some act secretly, this entails a conspiracy, conspiracies are an absurdity that cannot happen, therefore leftist X is wrong. In actuality, conspiracies happen all the time. All you need to have a conspiracy is two or more people planning something, and keeping it from people they do not intend to know. I can think of a few cases of what are obvious conspiracies by people in the government (like the JFK assasination), and I can think of many other cases where I believe conspiracies have occurred but I can't prove it (in such cases either, a. I'm wrong, or b. they were much more successful in keeping it from the American public as was their intention). In the business community, I should note conspiracies are easier to act upon since there is little transparency. That is, unless disaster ensues as a result. For example, do you think the Enron scandle could be called a conspiracy? I

Conspiracies do happen, sure, but there's a tendency among many to latch onto the most ridiculous of them.

And Bobby Kennedy was killed by a Palestinian terrorist. I know that lefties can't handle these two facts so they invent conspiracy theories...

In the case of Kennedy it is obvious. The evidence for conspiracy is overwhelming. Without getting into all of the evidence, all I have to point out is the fact that no single person has been able to fire as many shots in as short a period of time with the gun Oswald was supposedly shooting to kill Kennedy. Much of the information that the government knows about the assassination has been withheld for reasons of national security. Bertrand Russell brought up a good point, "If, as we are told, Oswald was the lone assassin, where is the issue of national security

At the time, I didn't both to respond to this because it's so dumb, but Penn & Teller did it for me anyway. Penn shoots the exact same gun three time in just over three seconds (without the military training Oswald had), proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was possible for Oswald to get off those shots. Idiot.
