and climate doomers. I mean, when you're looking at any supposed or hypothetical threat, no matter how implausible or remote, such as a Marxist "New World Order", or a global police state, or the (inevitable) collapse of civilization, the extinction of mankind by AGW alone, etc.....chances are, you're likely to start going a little loopy after a while. But then again, that's what sites like Godlike Productions are for(and the Creative Speculation forums on this site, too), I suppose.

(Of course, I'd have included the most extreme of the gun nuts but I think that's already pretty well covered since most of them are already militia/"Patriot" types.)
