That's just crazy!
I'm stocking up for when welfare payments either stop or are paid in worthless dollars.
It'll really be more of a massacre rather than a Civil war (Democrats killing Democrats), and I prefer not to be in the middle of it.
And they call us nuts!
Yes. But get to the part of their beliefs that are crazy.
That shirt is guilty of unmitigated faggotry...

The Psychology of the Right-Wing’s Anti-Government ‘Death-Panel’ Delusions
Calling people brainwashed, racist or stupid feels good but doesn’t really explain the heart of their irrational fear and hatred of government.
September 5, 2009
A lot of heavyweight thinkers have offered explanations of the irrationality of modern political behavior — you know, behavior like Medicare recipients at town halls screaming about the evils of government-run health care, or otherwise-reasonable people likening President Barack Obama’s plan to Nazi eugenics.
It simply means that when people routinely act against their own best interest, it’s worth understanding all levels of their motivation.
Oy. Dr. Baden wrote a whole article while looking at himself in a mirror and being unable to recognize his own image. Projection much?
There has been more people killed by psychologists than by Tea Partiers.
The world has been warned of the coming age of the sycophantic classes of pill pushers since before this Michael Bader was born....
“I drink to the imminence of His Coming,” he repeated, ... with a sincere attempt to feel that the coming was imminent; but the eyebrow continued to haunt him, and the Coming, so far as he was concerned, was horribly remote. He drank and handed the cup to Clara Deterding. “It’ll be a failure again,” he said to himself. “I know it will.” But he went on doing his best to beam. (5.2.17)
“”Don’t you want to be free and men? Don’t you even understand what manhood and freedom are?” Rage was making him fluent; the words came easily, in a rush. “Don’t you?” he repeated, but got no answer to his question. “Very well then,” he went on grimly. “I’ll teach you; I’ll make you be free whether you want to or not.” And pushing open a window that looked on to the inner court of the Hospital, he began to throw the little pill-boxes of soma tablets in handfuls out into the area.”
For a moment the khaki mob was silent, petrified, at the spectacle of this wanton sacrilege, with amazement and horror.”
“Free, free!” the Savage shouted, and with one hand continued to throw the soma into the area while, with the other, he punched the indistinguishable faces of his assailants. “Free!” And suddenly there was Helmholtz at his side-”Good old Helmholtz!”-also punching-”Men at last!”-and in the interval also throwing the poison out by handfuls through the open window. “Yes, men! men!” and there was no more poison left. He picked up the cash-box and showed them its black emptiness. “You’re free!”
“Two minutes later the Voice and the soma vapour had produced their effect. In tears, the Deltas were kissing and hugging one another-half a dozen twins at a time in a comprehensive embrace. Even Helmholtz and the Savage were almost crying. A fresh supply of pill-boxes was brought in from the Bursary; a new distribution was hastily made and, to the sound of the Voice’s richly affectionate, baritone valedictions, the twins dispersed, blubbering as though their hearts would break. “Good-bye, my dearest, dearest friends, Ford keep you! Good-bye, my dearest, dearest friends, Ford keep you. Good-bye my dearest, dearest ...”
Probably because he produces no reflection in a mirror.
It;s in his bio...I already posted the link...and here’s MORE...he’s a self avowed marxist:

Politics and Me
With two books about it under my belt (so to speak), I’ve written more words about sex than about politics. But politics and social change are closest to my heart at the moment, and I hope to redress the imbalance in my word count in the near future.
I was always a lefty. My father was the only liberal in a family and community of racist republicans. My older brother went to U.C. Santa Barbara in 1967 and gave an adoring younger brother regular reports from “the front.’ And I went to Berkeley from 1970 to 1976. ‘Nuff said.
At first, politics for me was all about the New Left, Marxism, and political economy. I was “out-there,” active in various extremist groups, and fully engaged at the same time with the counter-culture. Eventually, with the decline of the New Left, I gave up being active in the public political world and chose a profession—psychology. I never gave up my sentiments or beliefs, but couldn’t figure out how to blend them with my work, since I don’t believe that good therapy should have a political agenda in any way.
But then I started writing for progressive magazines and started to feel less divided within myself. Michael Lerner published me in Tikkun. Don Hazen did the same in Alternet. And, about six years ago, I helped form something called the Institute for Change, sponsored by the Service Employees International Union. The Institute has an interdisciplinary faculty, from shrinks to corporate consultants, to community organizers, to union activists, and we’re all dedicated to the aim of helping unions become more radical, more effective, more politically savvy, and more engaged with their members in order to help spearhead a progressive movement for social change. It’s been a life-changing experience for me. I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to meet and work with so many extraordinary union leaders and to finally find a setting in which I can express and bring together the clinical, personal, and political passions that have always been inside me. I hope to reflect these experiences in my writings on this website.
Stark raving moonbat!
Gaydar is pingin’....
Well, the author got the Ayn Rand thing right. Atlas Shrugged has been scientifically proven to destroy brain cells.
But Orwell? And guns? What the heck’s wrong with guns? And a few extra guns for good measure. And ammo. And some armor piercing rounds just in case. And a few more guns.
This was a poorly written hit-piece article.
parsy, who has a gun or two...
But, if they weren't, just think of the service you have rendered to society!
Great! Thanks. I didn’t catch the link earlier.
It was in his bio at the site that posted his pseudo-intellectual article.
Folks, your tax dollars are paying the incomes of most of the psychologists, feminists, all. But you continue to allow yourselves to be diverted to thoughts of Social Security, unemployment benefits, etc.
Wise up.
We are fighting the fire but not the cause. We are funding the arsonists that are burning are country to the ground socially and fiscally.
Exactly.
So, he appears to have, among other issues, some things to work out between himself and his father and brother.
