HC475:

You remind me of an employee that I recently had to fire. Ex-marine, total whackjob and absolutely obsessed with the same kind of conspiracy theory nonsense that you espouse daily on this forum.

He would tell stories of his days in the 90's broadcasting and listening to shortwave radio, running around with para-military and militia groups and hanging on every word that your heroes Linda Thompson and Mark from Michigan had to say. Always talked about the NWO, FEMA camps, black helicopters, Waco, Ruby Ridge and so on. He lost his marriage because of it a few years ago because of it, and now he's lost his job, thanks to me.

Know why I had to fire him? He would rant and rave about this crap nonstop to his co-workers, to me and worst of all to our customers and suppliers on a daily basis. I would get complaints from them about this and he would respond by saying they were all NWO shills and that he and his people knew the "truth." BIG Alex Jones fan as you can imagine. It all got to be too much and I had to fire him. He'll have a hard time landing another job at this point because of his obsession with his stuff.

My advice to you: stop it, for your own good. Conspiracy theorists with your level of obsession have no place in a civilized society, except on the margins of it.

And so you yourself prove their point.

You did note the words 'elected' and 'election' in the link that you provided,yes?

Breaking with precedent does not a cancelled election make.

As for the OP: ha ha ha ha ha.

I believe they would call a looney bin a "re-education camp" so it would fit their narrative a bit better.

Okay, so you are now saying that FDR didn't cancel the elections?

Why did you ever think otherwise?

if he is an at-will employee (in a state that recognizes at will employment) then he could be fired for any reason at all. He could have orange hair and wear brown corduroy pants, and that could get him fired.

Still doesn't support you by repeating Alex Jones and World Nut Daily's conspiracy monger, Jerome Corsi that the elections will be suspended.

Funny World Nut Daily said the same thing about Bush, trying to use 9/11 as the reason to suspend elections. how'd that work out?

They and the GOP are just afraid of the impending blow back from the mistakes of 2010 Congressional elections. Conspiracies arise from the realization of the possibility of that fear becoming true.
