The Bush Conspiracy Generator
Here, this may come in handy:

Re:For Slashdotters who haven't been paying attentI am a conservative (always vote Republican) and let me say that I hope you are right. This is going to sound like a troll but it really isn't. I'm serious because, as a conservative, I want to see the Democrats hurt themselves. I think that would be the perfect set up for the Republicans in 2008. Let the Dems have control of the House by a small margin. With a small margin, they won't be able to do any serious damage to the country (again - I am conservative and that's my bias). They will investigate every crazy accusation that has been made in the last 6 years. There will be one of two outcomes: (1) They will find real evidence that the US was complicit in 9/11 -or- that Bush lied about WMD's -or- [fill in blank] or (2) They will find nothing because it was all just conspiracy theory/political cheap-shot to begin with. Keep in mind that I am a conservative and wouldn't be one if I believed (1) was a likely outcome. So, expecting outcome (2) would be priceless.
They will investigate the Bush administration and probably destroy the political future of anyone in his admin which is somewhat moot as I don't think anyone within his admin is running in 2008 (with the possible exception of Rice). Dems being Dems will find out that the "anti-Bush" rhetoric won't get them very far when Bush isn't on the ticket in 2008
The Dems' current strategy seems to be "we aren't Republicans" but if they win the House, they will be forced to advance legislation and those votes will become part of the 2008 political debate. There will be votes on raising the minimum wage, there will be votes on health care, there will be votes on social security. They will effectively have to put their money where their mouth is. And again, as a conservative - I can't wait for them to do so because as someone else in this thread pointed out - they are their own worst enemy.
Bottom line, I would rather have the GOP lose now in 2006 where it will only affect the House of Reps, than for the GOP to maintain control all the way through the next election, when the Executive, House and even more Senate seats are up for grabs. I don't want the Dems to be able to continue to make political leverage without having to make hard legistlative decisions and continue to make accusations without having to back them up. I think this country needs a good dose of memory of what Democrats do when in power.

But what about privacy?
This new tech might invade the terrorist's privacy. Just like George Bush did when he monitored the recent British terrorist's communications. Now we're going to start scanning for explosives?
Ben Franklin said: "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither".
Is it really worth the slight possibility of a privacy violation to keep planes from getting blown up by terrorists? (If there even are terrorists and it's not a conspiracy). -
Nopehttp://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_faq.htm#Ques5/
Don't believe everything you read. I once saw something saying Bush caused the Cubs to lose to the Marlins last year so that the oil companies could invade France (here is the source if you don't believe me).

Re:Now, let's all have a big Slashdot group hug
congratulations america! you've completely alienated yourselves from all of your former allies and friends and earned the distrust and emnity of the rest of the planet.
Just like we did after WWII.
There's a reason the people who started America were called the "Founding Fathers." If I gave my children the vote, it'd be candy for every meal, and staying up all night. Requiring vegetables and a bed time isn't popular, but it is the right thing to do.
The reality is, when you are a leader, you are NOT doing what everyone else thinks you should be doing. You are doing what needs to be done. And sometimes it takes a while before those behind you realize you are doing what's best for all concerned (thanks Mom and Dad for the vegetables and bed time!).
And one other thing...all you countries complaining about how Americans are just for world domination...where exactly in our history have we ever done that, especially when we were in the driver's seat (Germany and Japan weren't annexed after WWII)? Never, that's when. But YOU, you've done that many times (Hitler, Napoleon, Lenin, Stahlin, etc.). Perhaps you distrust us because you were corrupt in your own history. We may not be perfect, and there may be a few of us that are anarchists (Michael Moore), but we don't want to dominate you...regardless of what conspiracy theory you choose to believe today. -
BUT BUT BUT...
George W. Bush lowered taxes so that Ann Coulter, white men, the Christian Coalition, and gun owners could invade Al Franken.
