    3000 died. Gosh, my college freshmen were born in 2001. 3000 deaths doesn't look like much to them. 9/11 pales now.
    They have never known a day without America at war, in their entire lives.
    There's the sun, the moon, and the war in Afghanistan, as part of their F'ing universe. I do feel so sorry for today's college freshmen.

    I remember when you guys flamed the living F out of me about 9/11 on this board.
    "The gub'mint don't lie!"
    "Robert Mueller was head of the FBI on 9/11! He don't screw up!"
    Anyone care to go to bat for the gubmint truth-tellers on this day?

    absolute petty cruelty. He hates his home city because his home city hates him. And his home city hates him because they know him to a depth most of his followers do not.

    I might, but I can't figure out what you're talking about.

    I'm talking about: the government lies. To you. About death. About thousands of deaths, deaths of Americans. About billions and trillions of dollars. About "don't create panic."

    Sure. Especially nowadays, but even with the old milquetoast leaders. But I hear hints of '9/11 was an inside job' which still makes me think you might be a crank.

    Good! We agree the government lies to us.
    Now, what's a crank?

    "It was an amazing phonecall" he says, with obvious glee. First words out of his mouth in that interview.

    I'm not sure that the idea that the government routinely lies to us is very controversial. Probably over half the electorate would agree if you polled them.

    By crank here, I mean someone who subscribes to baseless conspiracy theories. But I don't know if you're telling me you believe the Bush Admin engineered 9/11 to give him a pretext to start a war. Is that what you're saying? And, do you mention it now because you think our more recent experience with Trump lying about every damn thing every day makes the idea that Bush murdered thousands in the WTC more credible?

    How does the context change the posted snippet?

    Would love Jon Stewart to embarrass Trump into giving that money back.

    Glad we still agree that "the government routinely lies to us,"as you say!

    Um, if you believe 19 guys made a secret plan to take down the World Trade Center, you believe in a "conspiracy theory." YOU believe 9/11 was a conspiracy of at least 19 people. Correct?

    No, I'm not saying Bush had more than two brain cells firing at any time. . . .

    I mention it now because today is 9/11.

    So, you have your 19-guy conspiracy. . . . You don't even know their names. Yeah, you and your conspiracy.

    Thanks for confirming. I don't want to litigate it again. Let us say we disagree.

    It's ironic because since 9/11 Fox News has been obsessed with scaring the **** out of old white conservatives about the spread of Sharia law and Islamic terrorism in the US. No self-awareness what so ever.
