You don't take a strong stance on any of the following, or don't bring any of the topics up when talking about completely unrelated topics such 9/11, alternative medicine, NWO, etc.

>>Consider the following documented facts and let me ask you:

Do they ever speak out against the senseless killings in the Iraq War for power and profit?

Nope.

Do they ever admit that the US Navy was wrong to fake the Gulf of Tonkin Incident in 1964 (which has now been exposed) which resulted in the deaths of 60,000 Americans and millions of Vietnamese, making the war and their deaths a FRAUD?

Nope.

Are they outraged with the fact that the CIA has been involved in drug trafficking for many years, which even some in the mainstream media have reported? Or the CIA assassinations of foreign leaders who refused to abide by US policy?

Nope.

Are they outraged that the EPA lied after 9/11 that the air was safe to breathe, which caused thousands of First Responders to develop cancer from the toxic air and slowly die?

Nope.

Are they outraged that upper levels of government have concocted secret plots to sacrifice innocent lives to stage terrorist activities and blame it on others to start wars, such as Operation Northwoods and Operation Dirty Trick? (Google them for more info)

Nope.

Do they speak out against the thousands of people that die from pharmaceutical drugs every year?

Nope.

But will they go ballistic if ONE person allegedly dies from alternative treatment such as homeopathy?

You betcha!"

Simply ridiculous reasoning.

Does this guy want people to question whether 1+1 is really one? Do they want skeptics to prove their belief in having only one head on their shoulders?

Saying that the skeptics are hypocritical for challenging alternative medicine but not traditional medicine seems strange. I don't think the skeptics such as James Randi think the FDA or the pharmaceutical industries are perfect. But he evaluates the hard science, not the people in charge of it.

He isn't skeptical of the alternative doctors. He's skeptical of the medicine itself.
