The American Left Slides Into Psychosis

History tells us that organizations, movements, even entire nations can go mad in much the same way an individual does, with the same expression of irrationality, frenzy, and violence. Recent evidence suggests that the American left is going through precisely such a breakdown.

In his memoir Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Carl Jung, the psychiatric pioneer who was smarter than Freud, discussed a particular case history in which a patient told of a troubling dream: he was repeatedly confronted with the image of a howling feces-covered baby. Jung had no immediate explanation, and thought about little else for several days. At last the solution appeared: his patient harbored a buried psychosis, one that was in danger of emerging. To his horror, Jung realized that it must be the therapy itself that was threatening his patient's sanity. Jung was presented with the dilemma of how to cut short the analysis without allowing the patient to guess the actual reason, which might well send him into a tailspin from which he would never recover. (Freud would have kept pushing until the guy was institutionalized.)

Fortunately, on his next visit, the patient asked to curtail the treatment, giving only vague reasons. A relieved Jung concurred. The patient never returned, but Jung checked on him regularly and assured himself that the man remained whole and rational, the seed of insanity remaining safely buried for the balance of his life.

What better metaphor for the current condition of the left? Leftism suffers from an equivalent psychosis -- one that is now beginning to break out. This is not by chance but due to the ongoing collapse of the left's epic dream. Leftists have always believed that one clear shot, one opportunity to put their policies into play without opposition from "reactionary interests,"

So?...Where was Bush on fighting voter fraud? How he ignored this just steams me!
If and when the Republicans ever get control voting fraud should be one of their very top concerns.

*They not only will flaunt it, they will attack anybody who doesn’t will to become as psychotic.*

Yes, they seem to be very PROUD of their ignorance.

Some of the expressions coming out of Democrats’ mouths these days are worrisome; so much so that I soon expect to see Alan Grayson speeding down I-95 in a white Ford Bronco tailed by a phalanx of blue-light cruisers.

[PATRIOT1876]

*Prayer for the integrity of the elections is in order.
God can thwart any plans that the left has to conduct voting fraud - voting tour buses break down, weather is prohibitive, illnesses occur, etc.*

It’s a good idea to pray for God to confuse the plans of the enemy.

If they’re not doing anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about.

A fellow history buff!

I’ve always believed history moves in a cycle and in a general way often repeats itself.

So I think my remark is right on the money - Obama has managed to ram home the Leftist dream agenda and won a great victory. However, he has set motion forces that are determined not only reverse his hard won triumphs, but also prepared to take the meat ax and cut federal programs going back to FDR.

American Free Republicans have always reminded me of Roman Republicans who were defeated in many a hard fought battle, but kept coming back again and again at their opponents until the enemy was defeated.

Indeed. Cato the Younger, the great man known for his patriotism, dedication to the Republic and austere life style, shall never be forgotten. May he be a model for our little new movement of patriots.
