Okay, I probably should have clarified my comment. What I meant by "will probably be Muslim or queer" is that if *I* were, say, Dick Armey and I wanted to *really* get the American people to vote in my slate of John Birch Conservatives who would then vow to 'keep America safe no matter what' I would set up a Reichstag fire-type incident.

The people who *actually* set the fires will be Tea Partiers. The people who take the fall will be Muslim or queer.

Recall that the Reichstag fire was allegedly set by a Communist. As it turned out, of course, it was a group of brown shirts that actually planned and committed the crime. But a convenient scapegoat was found in the personage of a recently immigrated Dutch Communist.

I should have been more clear. I don't think that the *actual* perp of this kind of false flag will be a Muslim or queer but one of those groups will take the fall for it. They need a bogeyman and blacks just aren't going to cut it. It has to be someone still considered sufficiently other that it's okay to hate them in polite company. That means queer or Muslim.

Cheers

And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
