I love reading conspiracy theories. They absolutely fascinate me. Whether it's hobos in nice clothes near the grassy knoll, secret film sets dressed up like the moon, or a centuries old group protecting the descendants of Christ, I always want to know more. I love to get in to the particulars of the how things were done and why they had to happen.
The most important part of a good conspiracy, in my opinion, is the reasoning behind it. Of course we had to fake the moon landing; it was for American moral. Of course the government new about 9/11, how else were we going to take over the Middle East? Why yes, Brett Farve really is acting as a double agent for the Packers, why else would he go to the Vikings?
None of those are things that I believe myself. On a rational, conscious level, I can see why people might believe these things, but on a personal level I fail to understand it. Maybe I'm just such a dreamer that I'd hate to find out we never made it to the moon; maybe I'm just a fool for finding it easier to believe that 9/11 was the fault of terrorist jerks than the government who couldn't get its act together in the wake of Katrina. Then again, maybe the government dragged its feet on Katrina so no one would think they were responsible for 9/11.
There are an amazing amount of conspiracies surrounding Barack Obama. He's a man who has only really been in the mainstream conscious for a little over 5 years, and yet he's been out to destroy America since his illegal, non-American birth.
Popular claims against Obama from the past few years: he wasn't born in America; he's a secret muslim; he's a puppet for his Christian pastor; he's out to destroy the Catholic Church; he's a puppet for a Zionist conspiracy; he's going to replace the government with Islamic overlords; he's racist, specifically toward white people; he's in the closet; he's socialist; he's a nazi; he wants nothing more than the complete destruction of the United States of America.
I'll say this for the guy: pick any two things on that list and I'm going to guess it's pretty exhausting being him as well as raising two kids and being the leader of the free world. How he has time to invite Nascar drivers to the White House I don't know, but I find it to be impressive if nothing less.
Now, I said before, a great conspiracy is based in great reasoning for the conspiracy to have taken place. And yet, for the great majority of Obama conspiracies, I cannot reach a logical, satisfying answer to the question "Why?"
Let us speculate for a moment that Barack Obama has in fact spent his entire adult life taking calculated risks in an effort to become President, with the ultimate goal of destroying the United States. First, what does that even mean? Is the suggestion that he's going to dissolve the union, letting them become a collection of groups based on geography and resources? Is the suggestion that he's going to turn over the control of the government to a different organization that may not even be based in this country? Or is it simple hyperbole who think the only America that should exist is their own personal version?
Secondly, why destroy America? Why get yourself in to the position to be quite possibly the most powerful man in the world and then work to ruin that? Why willingly concede power that you spent so much energy and effort to capture?
I think it's easy to throw the words around because them seem powerful and dangerous. "Destroy America." It sounds scary, but it lacks context. It doesn't really mean anything.
Or maybe I'm wrong, and the people on this site who really believe this can shed some light on the subject? I'm asking out of a general curiosity what they expect to happen in the next 3 years that will lead from us being the United States of America to nothing.
The problem I have with these theories in the end is that they attempt to paint America as weak willed and soft. That one man with a few pretty words and pen strokes could destroy everything that came before him. That if the Constitution was truly, honestly threatened that the public would just accept it. What does that say about the faith in the American Spirit?

To make Obama out to be some/all of those things puts too much importance on one man. While there is a conspiracy (by definition) in play, it involves the powers behind the throne. You have to find the common denominators of the last several decades of government -- the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Trilateral Commission (TC) -- to know who's benefiting and what's to be gained. These groups are "think tanks" formerly/presently run by David Rockefeller, an admitted globalist.
From Rockefeller's autobiography entitled Memoirs:
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
Obama has surrounded himself with a cabinet chocked full of CFR & TC members who are extremely sympathetic to this "one world government" movement. To say they want to "destroy" America isn't completely accurate, but you'd be right to say they want to dissolve it over time.
We already have unelected and unrepresentative super-national governing bodies like the UN, WTO, IMF, and World Bank that wield unseen power over us through influence over legislation and foreign policy. The Federal Reserve also works against American sovereignty and The People's economic interests. This has stolen The People's power of self-government and self-determination. (There's nothing wrong with international forums used to discuss issues, but ceding power to them is illegal.)
I recommend looking into each of these organizations to broaden your governmental vocabulary. While most conspiracy theories are very speculative, these groups and their effects are tangible & measurable.
This by itself is interesting:
