What is horrible is it is so unecessary. So much of the behemoth crap monster that is our federal and state government is absolutely unecessary for the vast majority of us. We all know it. History shows us how unecessary it is and was. We just have been accepting the political shell game and because we have known nothing different and don't understand the reality that this could be all different. The individual, the sovereign citizen can be respected and the charity freely given can service the needs of the those who can not help themselves. We do not need the beast to have a good society, good health care, good families, and good jobs. It is the big lie and those who are comfortable in the embrace of what on any other terms would be called evil are not looking out for our best interest.
People like this Dr. need the "beast" because it has evelevated them far beyond the worth of their nose gazing profession. They are the real paranoids because they don't trust their fellow man to see their worth, they need their ego's stroked by government panels and university boards. They need to be told they are a "good boy" by their peers. They are the house trained lapdogs of evil.
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.

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?
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 ...”
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...
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.
Michael Bader, D.M.H. sez: ...this hodgepodge of people and groups spout frankly paranoid beliefs... Self-defense and armed resistance are frequently called for. Racist stereotypes, innuendo, and hostility run rampant. The Constitution is its sacred text and Glenn Beck its most beloved prophet. They don't usually wear aluminum hats but perhaps they should. I hate these folks but I also understand them. And, well, uh, I also empathize with them. They share the same psychology as the paranoid patients I treat every day. The only difference is that the paranoid beliefs of the tea-party movement are political while those in my consulting room are of a more personal nature.Anyone care to compile a list of entities which advertise in "Psychology Today"? Thanks Maelstorm.
>> It would help if we found ways to get into relationship [sic] with them ...
Relationship, huh? No thanks.
