        link[^]

        The ruckus over the Rush Limbaugh "phony soldiers" statement is dying down. It
        ought not to. There is a huge story here.
        ...
        Less than two minutes after uttering the words "phony soldiers," Limbaugh elaborated on
        the subject, explaining exactly what he meant by the term. He named one Jesse Macbeth
        as an example of a phony soldier. Macbeth had become an overnight darling of the far
        left, a self-described Iraq war veteran and Purple Heart recipient who posted a YouTube
        video denouncing American military atrocities he'd witnessed.

        Except he was never awarded a Purple Heart. He was never in Iraq. In fact, he was never
        in the military, period. He was tossed out of boot camp after four months. Macbeth is
        now in prison serving a five-month term for falsifying Army records and applying
        falsely for veterans' benefits. Limbaugh was right.
        ...
        So the left returned with another charge: Limbaugh had used the plural, "phony
        soldiers," therefore Limbaugh's sole example — Macbeth — was inadequate. So are there
        any other "phony soldiers" out there? Jeffrey Sullivan, the U.S. attorney for the
        Western District of Washington, thinks so. Besides prosecuting Macbeth, he's prosecuted
        another five "phony soldiers." Jim O'Neill, the assistant inspector general for
        investigations at the Veterans Administration, confirms that the federal government is
        presently conducting another 60 such "stolen valor" cases. Rush was right, in
        spades.

        The left must be entirely frustrated that they no longer completely control the media. It makes lies like this so difficult to gain traction.

        This [^] explains things nicely. The left is going to try to eliminate anyone capable of injecting the truth about them into the national conscious, so that they can inject as many uncontested lies as possible about the opposition. led Mike, Matthew, et al, are perfect examples of the end result. Hillary is a socialist pure and simple and she is a leader of a party best understood as Marxist. And that is all the debate should really be all about. The is nothing more complex about it than that. The right is generally honest about who and what they are and the principles they stand for. All the significant lies are coming from the left.

        The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all.

          "the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.” You're going to come with Religious references? Really? After God sent his Son to preach tolerance and forgiveness, which you completely oppose, and you want to go with Religious references to prove your point of view? You sure about that?

                    That's not tolerance. That's love. Tolerance denotes that one must not condemn the sin for which those people were being stoned (because worldviews, regardless of their sinful nature, are to be given equal weight).

                              Allow me to elaborate[^] on your madness.

                              Indicators of Delusion:

                              1. The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force.
                              2. That idea appears to exert an undue influence on his or her life, and the way of
                                life is often altered to an inexplicable extent.
                              3. Despite his profound conviction, there is often a quality of secretiveness or
                                suspicion when the patient is questioned about it.
                              4. The individual tends to be humorless and oversensitive, especially about the belief.
                              5. There is a quality of centrality: no matter how unlikely it is that these strange
                                things are happening to him, the patient accepts them relatively unquestioningly.
                              6. An attempt to contradict the belief is likely to arouse an inappropriately strong
                                emotional reaction, often with irritability and hostility.
                              7. The belief is, at the least, unlikely.
                              8. The patient is emotionally over-invested in the idea and it overwhelms other
                                elements of his psyche (psychology).
                              9. The delusion, if acted out, often leads to behaviors which are abnormal and/or out
                                of character, although perhaps understandable in the light of the delusional beliefs.
                              10. Individuals who know the patient will observe that his belief and behavior are
                                uncharacteristic and alien.

                              Features:

                              1. It is a primary disorder.
                              2. It is a stable disorder characterized by the presence of delusions to which the
                                patient clings with extraordinary tenacity.
                              3. The illness is chronic and frequently lifelong.
                              4. The delusions are logically constructed and internally consistent.
                              5. The delusions do not interfere with general logical reasoning (although within the
                                delusional system the logic is perverted) and there is usually no general disturbance
                                of behavior. If disturbed behavior does occur, it is directly related to the delusional
                                beliefs.
                              6. The individual experiences a heightened sense of self-reference. Events which, to
                                others, are nonsignificant are of enormous significance to him or her, and the
                                atmosphere surrounding the delusions is highly charged.

                              Types:

                              Persecutory Type: delusion that the person (or someone to whom the person is close) is
                              being malevolently treated in some way.

                              Yup...That's you alright.

                              Well lets see Red are you on to something or just regurgitating garbage... 1. True of every believer in every religion for example from the point of view of any given agnostic/atheist. Non diagnostic of anything. 2. ditto 3. Doesn't sound like me. 4. Definitely doesn't sound like me. 5. Nothing 'strange' has happened to me in years. You must be thinking of someone else. 6. Not really. I let Zepellin and company rant their blasphemy all over the soap box and only occassionly step in and attempt to educate them with reasonable restraint.

                                What? That was Saul's reference, not mine.

                                The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all.

                                Lost control of my hair trigger on that one. Seriously though that work is so broad it can be applied to anyone or any group. It reminds me of horoscopes.

                                    Leftists are simply, for whatever reason (perhaps because it's one of Marx's commandments), natural drawn to media outlets. To confirm that statement, all you have to do is pick up the local (community) paper in whatever town you're in. It's inevitably filled with pierced chubby chicks ranting about how the establishment is responsible for them not being pretty. Your madness stems from your insistence that the world follow a particular order. That probably stems from some sort of innate insecurity and the psychological need for the randomness and chaos in the world to be reduced to something simpler. Left-wing political congruity among media outlets is no more surprising than right-wing political congruity among Christians and neither requires a secret shrouded group chanting around a round table in a dark dungeon.

                                    Well that depends. Is he talking about "conspiracy to commit murder" (which is common) or is he talking about your conspiracies (e.g. the illuminati)? If he was referring to the former, then he's sensible. If he's referring to the latter, then he would be a crazy son of a b**tch.

                                      It can be argued "that kind of thing" is a facet of the human condition itself. Our brain learns by assuming that everything has meaning (for example: what you hear coming out of your parents mouth is assumed to not be random background noise. So the brain learns what it means). With a neuropsychology so predicated on the notion that nothing is random, it becomes easy to see how we'd look for meaning where there isn't necessarily any. And build whole systems of belief around it.

                                        There are certainly many Christians who approach Christianity in that way, but Christianity itself is based on the acceptance of the Bible as a historical document.

                                          There is most certainly an innate requirement for religion. That's why even atheists, who condemn organized religion, tend to follow a religious approach to atheism.
