I recently finished reading “The Truth about Leo Strauss” by Catherine and Michael Zuckert, and they reminded me of something I had known for awhile now: many of the recent arguments made against Strauss and his apparent followers (the NeoCons), were established by crazy old Lyndon LaRouche. Here is LaRouche stating outright that 9/11 was an inside job (amongst other irrational things).
He wrote a book titled “Children of Satan” which claimed that Neo-Conservatism is a “cabal of Strauss disciples, along with an equally small circle of Likudnik fellow-travelers".
How odd that this very same amateurish opinion was perpetuated on the floor of the House by good old Ron Paul himself.
Larouche and Paul: fellow voyagers on a brook of bullshit.

I was just handed some literature by Larouche supporters outside the Democratic Convention in Springfield, MA. I googled "Lyndon LaRouche Ron Paul" to find out if they had anything to do with each other. (Had a hunch). That brought me here.
There's something about your Paul-LaRouche comparison that doesn't make sense: Ron Paul has never said that 9/11 was an inside job. I never understand why people try to link him to the "9/11 Truth" movement.
That said, 9/11 probably was an inside job. It's fairly obvious that the neocons had a vested interested in it. And there's nothing irrational in seeing that, sorry. But then, I may as well say to you, "I was abducted by Lizard People" ... 'cause you'll react as if that's the kind of thing I've said, right?
Have to agree with the last comment.
I think it's amazing how some people actually believe that tyrants like Hitler, Stalin, Pot, Tsung, etc, can only come to power in other countries. They apparently believe that the media can only be used for propaganda in other countries, never in their own, and any one who disagrees must be a nutter. They know that of course the CIA runs coups, commits assassinations, and propagates disinformation, but they believe it's sheer lunacy to think such an organization could turn against its own people except in other countries. They know about lobbyists and special interests but they could never believe that such interests could ever corrupt a politician in their own country.
They know about Nazi science and the holocaust but only the Nazis could use science to gain political power, that could never happen in their own country. The most amazing thing is their apparent belief (faith) that men could never conspire to gain power in their own country; they know it could happen elsewhere, after all history is pretty clear on this point, just never in their own country.
Are these people insane? I don't think so. Intellectually dishonest and lazy, probably, but I don't think that most of them are crazy. I think most of them never had the time or inclination to pick up a history book and I think that they choose to believe what they believe because it comforts them. The biggest factor, I think, is that they are supported in their delusion by the masses - who generally are incapable of understanding history or the bigger picture.
what is really unfortunate is that there seems to be a direct relationship between a person's ignorance and the volume of their voice. Take that fact coupled with the Meanstream Media and you've got an army of disinfo idiots with loud voices.
