  "There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

  Yes, they are "conspiracy people". However, there is nothing wrong with a conspiracy viewpoint as long as there is solid evidence substantiating said viewpoint. If you seriously think that the government is some benevolent agency that hides nothing from you, then your head is in the sand.

  I don't actually think infowars gives good justification for anything. Oh and throwing a quote out isn't your own thoughts on the matter Spartaaa, any person with half a brain is capable of throwing quotes around. It doesn't mean they know what they're talking about nor have a justified reason. I don't think anyone here said that the government is the best either. Just because a person doesn't believe a conspiracy doesn't make them a tool of the government.

  Aren't most articles biased in some way or another?

  Yes, but the consensus here is that the article has enough bias that it interferes with the reader's ability to understand the facts being brought. The article does have facts, but these facts are obscured to a point where it seems like it may be an emotional appeal.

  Pfft
  The government is just a failure of a bunch of brainless people that can convince the masses to a vote for them
  I even think any position past state governor or those like chief of xxx know a single thing about the state of their people they represent
  I mean fine go ahead have theories and be conspiracies but can they aleast sound like there serious?
  How they write it is not far from what candidacies for portions such as senator do which is very ironic to me
