DDRESS, is that you? Are you back?

No idea who that is.

No idea who that is.

Forget it and keep doing what you're doing.

Oddly, Indiana, which was instrumental with the troops sent and sacrifices made in preserving the Union, has a strangely high number of "Lost Causers"....not that I am accusing anyone here of that.

Well, Indiana University published the book on them:

The Myth of the Lost Cause and Civil War History

Plausible.

Heck, even flying a US flag from the back of your truck is tacky and disrespectful. Leave it on the pole.

I think you have a good point with both the cartoon and the comment. As a veteran, I don't like either one of those.

Interesting theory! Perhaps those that thought of this theory are those that are behind the conspiracies.

Hmmmm.... you might be right! It's a all a cloak and dagger conspiracy.

On a scale from 1 to 10 from no chance to absolurtely, here'e what I think:

Panel #1- Las Vegas - 0 (less than no chance)
Panel #2- Fake News- 5 (some truth, but overstated)
Panel #3- Seth Rich - 2 (highly doubtful and who cares)
Panel #4- Climate Change- 7 (Climate change? Yes, always has been. Attributed to man? Not proven. inducing panic for money? Absolutely)
Panel #5- Obama and Islam- 3 (Agnostic who favors all "oppressed persons" over "Western Civilization", not a Muslim)
Panel #6- Globalists- 9 (C'mon)
Panels #7-9- Conspiracies- 8 on the profit part, 1 on the "your own interests" part.

...and none of these are what could accurately be called a "conspiracy" as the term is normally understood.

Really? Given the nature of how govt traditionally retained power, I'd put that at a 9.99. Has there ever been a govt, in the history of the world, that has not falsely accused a group to rally it's people (or at least some of them)?

Exactly. I was thinking - um.....isn't the climate change issue pretty much true?

And funny on #5, I have a couple of relatives that think Obama is a Muslim. I try to point out that like all good leftists, he's really an atheist who hates America.

In referring to "against their own interests", I was speaking on whether these things are really "against your own interest"

Voting against onerous regulation for the sake of climate change- not AGAINST your interest.
Voting against people who want to cede US sovereignty and engage in gun control- not AGAINST your interest

One would argue this is a symptom of tribalism. For example, switch to the opposite opinion of the two examples you listed. Would you call that "against your interests?"

With these two examples, my assessment was not based upon "tribalism".

I fail to see the broad interests of the populace being served by stunting economic growth and disarming...no matter who you are.

You will concede, I assume, that this is an opinion, and that others have opinions to the contrary right? And if you're saying yours isn't an opinion, but fact, then by default you are saying that people who think the opposite are simply wrong. They, of course, would disagree. Hence tribalism.

I am going to have to argue with that point. Researchers don't really make money by supporting climate change. With grants getting harder and harder to get, if anything, those that are against climate change can get a good deal of grants from groups that will benefit from making it seem like there is dispute among scientists (there isn't). So sell your soul and scientific integrity to Shell or Exxon and get funding or struggle to report what your data tells you.

Also, we can never prove anything, we can only support it with facts and conclusions made from data collected or what certain processes may bring about.
