Barack Hussein Obama will be going to Russia soon to learn how this can be incorporated into Obamacare, no doubt.

Actually, the Russians have already invited him. I’m sure there are many, many topics they will discuss now that Zer0 has that post-election “flexibility”.

Bingo. I thought the same thing, but I'd imagine most Freepers did. Think about how just as little as 5 years ago this thought would be 'tin foil hat'. Perhaps the 0bamacare 'I will not comply' crowd will be sent to the new Soviet Union for experimentation.. Or that 'prison' our government has purchased in Illinois:

This comes to mind:

...Valerie Jarrett is letting it be known that if Barack Obama secures election victory next week, there may be, quite literally, hell to pay for those who opposed him...

...Jarrett told (staff members) ‘After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time.

Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve.

There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.’

For anyone interested in this topic, try to find copies of the Sen. Internal Security Subcommittee, Sen. Judiciary Committee, 2-3 volume hearings on “Abuse of Psychiatry in the Soviet Union.” (About 1972 or so).

It will chill you to the bone.

To be honest this law has nothing about putting dissidents into hospitals.
If one ever was to Russia and knows their way of life it is clear they need a law to forcefully remove mental patients from society for treatment.
Imagine living in a 20 story project with a senile person upstairs who always feel she is on fire and taking shower in her bedrood to flood you twice a day. Or a druggie who fires his shotgun through a wall to hunt some ghosts haunting him? What about a TV or a sofa being tossed out of a window to land on your car? What about fecals sprayed on your door? What about walking nude and masturbating in front of your children?
All of the above is a very common problem in Russia.
Police is rarely responding because there are no legal grounds to prosecute insane people for their inappropriate behavior and all cases of them damaging property considered civil disputes (go, sew idiot in court).

I have often told my wife that she never has to divorce me. She can just have me committed! She’s a psychiatrist!

Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder

Supreme Court Justice Van Jones

They'd both get confirmed too.. No one would dare risk being called 'racist' by contesting the nomination. Notice how the Marxist Elena Kagan sailed into SCOTUS with her 'LGBT card'. Nearly all of Team 0bama carries one card or another, except for the Generals and just look what's happening to THEM.

What’s even scarier are the mannerisms immediately following that ‘open mic slip’ afterwards.. BUSTED. Especially 0bama’s fingers over his mouth.

“Dr. Zhivago” must be one of Obama’s favorite movies, though not for its talent and production excellence.

A stricter law is needed. A humane and decent society does not allow the mentally ill freedom. Those who represent a danger to themselves and to society must be kept in treatment.

Of course - the abuse of psychiatry for political ends must be avoided. But we must not humor the mad by thinking they’re fit to be part of society.

The Russian Revolution in resent years was a sham. Modern methods of vote control help them to slip right back into a Communist State.
