As someone who was in favor of Ron Paul, I really cannot believe how stupid he sounds after just listening to him on the Alex Jones show (see thread here on ATS). The two of them keep saying he is the NWO puppet and dates of a new monetary currency will be announced. This really has made me lose a lot of respect for Ron Paul, and maybe he isn't the man I thought he was. Perhaps it's a good thing he isn't president of the United States.
Here's my response: And why is this supposed NWO such a bad thing? Why is a world government or currency such a bad idea? If the monetary system was controlled by many world interests, maybe more money would get spent on science and research. Maybe we would get our asses in space and start exploring the solar system. And is democratic socialism so bad? I have no problem with people being more equal. If everyone cared less about material stuff, maybe they would care about something greater than themselves, like the planet on which they live or the universe they inhabit.

What's wrong with him asking for the American people's input or call to action? JFK did the same thing. Or how about the people who have gone to church with him every week for over 20 years?

Here is an article I found written by an academic. It basically lays out everything that is wrong about conspiracy theorists and their conspiracies
There Are No Conspiracies
I am frankly sick of people who perpetuate conspiracy theories supported by either NO evidence whatsoever or purely circumstantial evidence. They refuse to learn anything about the world or the forces that are really at work and simply reduce everything to a "us against them, they have ultimate power" line of thinking that is just completely wrong.

So anybody who doesn't buy into the conspiratorial view of history is a socialist and an Obama follower?
