Under The Obama regime, Conspiracy theories are not theories and — to quote Rev. Wright — the Obama subjugations (without strong opposition from the American people) are now "comin' home to roost." That one fateful election in 2008 had the most dire consequences ever to befall our nation.
Still think those recently refurbished FEMA camps and the ObamaGov's military Ads for "Internment Resettlement Specialists" are nothing to worry about? Really?

I don't know exactly when MOS 31E was created, but it was before 2005. Thus, it has nothing to do with this administration. When I was a 97B stationed at Heidelberg in 1985, my wartime duties would have included management of an internment camp for POWs- for those 3 seconds before the Sovs nuked NATO HQ. Whatever you want to call this job, it's always existed in the military.

Well, seeing as how there's no evidence of FEMA concentration camps, I'd answer yes.
I don't understand anything in the quote. Maybe I need some coffee. And more Ritalin.

oh that T-rex is soo cute ^_^
I had always used "begs the question" to mean "raises the question" too. That's why I don't understand it in a philosophical logic sense
You know, the comments from fstdt, rstdt, and ctstdt all have one theme in common: Obama. I guess the enemy of my enemies is my friend?
We got tax cuts for the middle class instead of the filthy rich for a change, new laws that will finally keep your insurance company from dropping you when you get sick and mandate equal pay for women, and the beginning of an end to the Republican-made economic freefall that was causing us to lose 750,000 jobs per month under Bush. Yep, that's dire, all right.
Finally! They admit it! Conspiracies aren't theories- a theory is a broad explanation of how independent facts fit into a cohesive whole, similar to a jigsaw puzzle. Theories are rigorously tested and individual puzzle pieces may be moved around, but if the image garnered from the puzzle is still the same, the theory has been proven.
A conspiracy, on the other hand, is more closely related to a religion. There are believers, there are "sheeple", and there are "Them". Conspiracies fall apart under even the most light logical and/or factual scrutiny, therefore they prey on people's fears, emotions and paranoia, "anchoring" themselves to the person's opinions and worldview, which are much harder to question. For example, if someone is deeply cynical of the Government, they will fall back on that belief as their conspiracy comes under attack, thereby rendering arguments against the conspiracy useless. It is a insidious system but remarkably easy to predict once you get the hang of it. A conversation may go like this:
"X happened"
'no it didn't, for reasons Y.'
"But group Z would do something like that! Do you really think that group Z wasn't involved? They're evil. Of course they did X."
'you're letting your mistrust of Z cloud your judgement. Evil or not, Z did not do X.'
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
