If there is one thing I have learned over the past few years of hosting a political radio show, it's that Republicans love conspiracy theories. And I am not just talking run of the mill, fun to think about conspiracies, like Aliens built the Pyramids or that Elvis is alive and well and playing shuffleboard with the ghost of Colonel Sanders in some Florida retirement community.

You can always tell the making of a good right wing nutbar conspiracy. The symptoms are fairly consistent. Usually these conspiracy revolve around some outrageous claim that liberals are hell bent of destroying America and taking everyone's freedom, Obama is anything from a Muslim to a Martian and that horrible things don't really happen if they have anything to do with guns, racism or the poisoning of our planet.

Though only one other person would die from Ebola during the so called nationwide outbreak, that didn't stop right wing fear mongers from drumming up votes by convincing conservative rubes that Ebola was everywhere and Obama was behind it's nefarious appearance on U.S.
