Some may be all, one or two of the three, but is there a common theme to people who hold these beliefs? I think so, I think being a birther, truther or warmer gives them something to hold on to, something to make their lives more valid; a sense of purpose, if you will.

You seem to have some sort of hang-up with cheerleaders!

I think most people know atleast one member of their family who believes in conspiracy theories.

I SEE what you did there!

By "warmers", do you mean people who believe the climate is changing, and that mankind's environmental and industrial practices are contributing factors?

If so, it's not really fair to lump "climate changers" in with birthers and truthers. There is plenty of scientific evidence on the side of climate change. Not everyone is convinced, and there is room for debate.

But it's not the same as with birthers and truthers- there is no reputable science on their side- those folks are just whacky.

This place is filled with people cheering for their left or right teams. It is like sitting between USC and UCLA pep rallies.
