Stop calling us crazy, because we're "thinking" outside the box.
I wasn't aware that anyone had called you crazy.
The government benefited greatly from the attacks. As Kingpin pointed out the Executive Branch was basically given a free ride with any legislation they want to pass before Congress. This is scary, and usually impossible, but terror made it possible.
Well, yeah, okay. But some of these new laws and policies have already been challenged as unconstitutional; indeed, many were decried before they even went into effect. There are a lot of watchdogs on these things precisely because it is such a dangerous time. I take very seriously attempts to infringe upon the freedom of innocent people, but I think in the end things will even out.
...for the good of the country. It created more jobs in the defense department, stimulated the economy by a greater production of military weapons, took an angry, evergrowing consenous to the sidelines, and gave the government more power than they ever wished to possess.
Stimulated the economy? Whose economy? Last time I checked, the stock market was plunging, the 401(k)s of everyone I know are hemorrhaging, and unemployment in my area is something like 6%. Sounds like a stimulated economy to me.
When has the U.S. government put the needs of the working-class, few
I'm not even sure what you mean by this, but are you meaning to say that the working class are "few"? Come now, the working and middle class far outnumber the wealthy, quite obviously--and due to sheer numbers I bet they vote more too.
It's pretty well known that I'm a fairly liberal person, but this is too way-left fringe even for me. You could say that I just don't *want* to believe my government could have been responsible for 9/11, and I suppose you'd be right there. But think of how hard this would have been to pull off--and figure that the U.S. government would probably implode if the plot were ever discovered.
Look at this, too--our country doesn't exactly seem to be great at keeping secrets. Roswell, Project Blue Book, Watergate...you know the truth about this will come eventually in the extremely unlikely event that this was a government plot. And that, quite literally, would be the end of American civilization as we know it. Kind of a high price to pay for what would be, in the long term, short-term political gain.
