Top psychiatrist concludes liberals clinically nuts .....WASHINGTON Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed,veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.

Yep. The left is still stuck at the bottom of Maslows Hierarchy.

These folks know exactly what they are doing to try to get to their vaunted socialist state.

I think they're trying to go beyond that. Socialism is the prelude to communism.
We're already in a Socialist State. It's just that the American people haven't noticed that yet.

[Sen. Max] Baucus would require that all Americans get health insurance once the system is overhauled. Penalties for failing to do so would start at $750 a year for individuals and $1,500 for families.

Look at how many people go to a tax preparer every year because they can't make out a simple tax form. Now, picture these people being responsible for paying and maintaining their health insurance premiums. Some people can't even keep track of a checking account!
I see a lot of innocent Americans being charged with a "no pay" misdemeanor and spending a year in jail.
In other words, you obey these dictators, or else!

How much you wanna bet that the Dem's will say that union workers are excluded from having to pay the tax. That'll keep them on their side. Which to me smacks of something unconstitutional - that some Americans are getting favored tax exemption status while others have to pay through the nose.

I hope there are some smart constitutional lawyers out there who are preparing to take this catastrophe to the Supreme Court. Maybe the first citizen to be hauled off to jail for not buying health insurance would make a good first case.

“They are insane.”

True, but whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

They already do tax your income tax refunds, in Oregon.

Tax all the government health care first and see how they like it. Start with all them in office of around 30-75 thousand dollars each. Put the burden on them first and see how they like it.

What Obama really wants..well, just replace all of those “tax and “spend” with “kill and/or enslave”.

a la North Korea.

These people are literally mentally insane. They are Possessed.

They're on crack!

What a perfectly legal way make everybody a criminal and throw them in the debtors (read: concentration) camp en masse.

How about t a”Stupid Tax” so that we can get rid of these folks!
