Apologies

I posted earlier about Homeland Security buying multiples of Dum Dum bullets. Well it was me that was dumb because I took the article at face value believing Turley to have researched his stuff.

Whilst some of the comments were a little off hand - don't just assume someone is a conspiracy nut, I do understand where people were coming from and they are probably sick of seeing false posts.

So sorry folks and I will do my best to research before posting.

Didn't see the post you're talking about. But, I love your apology. It's rare to see someone with humility these days.

It doesn't matter about knowing what the post was - I was wrong and copied something without researching which was a dumb mistake.

because they thought I was a right wing conspiracy nut - which is as far from the truth as you can get.

5. Now I understand why you started a new OP. Thank you for apology, BTW. Very few people

will do that. And don't worry too much about it, anyone can make a mistake like yours.

Just recently I K&Red an article in the OP before I read through all the supporting links for that article. Once I did I realised that article in question was poorly researched and half of the "supporting links" had nothing to do with the issue at hand. Was very humiliating experience editing my original response to reflect that.

the Govt. The rightwing can threaten armed revolution against our Govt but the Govt can't make a move to protect itself against the treasonous rightwing?
