Brave New World

Coincidentally, half also think a man can marry a man.

You can’t have a gun if you are insane.

If you want a gun you are, by definition, insane.

[factoryrat]

Obamacare.

Liberal, gay, socialist = OK.

Conservative, law abiding, god fearing = Christian gun toting nutjob.

You see where this is going, right?

[AD from SpringBay]

Uh...because they can be treated with a monthly subscription, I mean a monthly medication and, for some, an additional bi-weekly talk-session? I mean, people can cancel their cable, but their freakout pills? No way.

My first trip to the emergency room in 30 years and the young physician was telling me I needed these pills. I asked her how long I would have to take them and she said long-term. Puh-freaking-leeze! This is after one scan that showed some irritation in one of my innards, one blood test that showed all was normal and one urine sample that also showed all was normal. They push them pills and people like to gobble them up. After a week of what I'll call selective eating, I'm fine.

Yep, everyone who has ever gone to a doctor must have some sort of mental disorder, and so is ineligible to own a gun. Law enforcement, politicians and Democrats exempt.

[Sir Napsalot]

Duh! The easiest way for someone(s) to consolidate absolute power is to declare those OTHERS mentally ill.

It is not as if following Soviet and other Communist rule books hadn't been tried.

And the public don't know nuttin’ ‘bout history.

[mnehring]

Combine this with Toomey-Manchin and now you have rights stripped from a majority of the population. Just wait until someone decides ‘the pen is mightier than the sword’ and starts restricting 1st Amendment rights based on mental disorders(sic)

[jeffc]

1) To make homosexuality "normal".

2) To disqualify you from owning a gun.

It's really that simple.

[I cannot think of a name]

I would say any election clearly points this out.

All the votes for democraps are clearly people with a diagnosable mental disorder.

I realized this decades ago.

ABC News/Washington Post reveals that support is now up to 58 percent for gay marriage in the most recent [poll] up from 32 percent nine years ago.”

Well there you have it! Gay “marriage” is trending and a huge number support it.

What does this say about the American psyche today?

That part of this that is backed up by genuine research instead of definitional game-playing (half or less, IMHO) reflects a portion of society that is lacking something in its approach to life. I wonder if anyone has cared to correlate this with the erosion of religion within the affected cohorts? I do not say this as a bible-thumping Christian enthusiast, only as a simple observer - it is entirely possible, even likely, that religion helps keep us sane, and with it certain other aspects of society that have come to be regarded as conservative for some reason, such as a stable family with two parents.

The problem with grandly declaring a "new normal" is that it is neither new nor normal, and that there are reasons other than oppression, sexism, racism, and homophobia that have sculpted societies into their present sundry forms. Social theorists and engineers, and yes, psychologists, flout this at their, and our peril.

[mrsmel]

What’s interesting to me is how quickly and easily people fell into line on referring all their problems as “mental disorders” years ago, and now it’s sitting there in people’s medical histories so conveniently for the gun grabbers.

[Vinylly]

Too many Americans watch TV.

[Mr. K]

A: So we can take their guns away

[DannyTN]

Don’t forget pot use as a likely cause.

Pot’s been sold by hollywood as mostly harmless. Meanwhile MIT researches demonstrated long term pot use damages the brain in the same area that schizophrenics and bipolar people are damaged.

[kabar]

The half who didn’t vote for Obama will be diagnosed as mentally ill. Similar to what the Soviets did, political opponents of the regime will be institutionalized in mental hospitals.

[puppypusher]

Maybe it’s because the democrats are driving us crazy.They are taking away all of our civil rights and there’s nothing we can do about it,other than fight the next big civil war.

At this stage No one really wants to step over that line yet,but its coming soon.The people have no where else to go the political system and judiciary are damaged beyond repair.So who do you take your complaint to?

[george123]

Simple. Half the country is liberal and liberalism is a mental disorder.

[Lancey Howard]

A caller to Rush last week brought up the very interesting theory that one reason 75% of the kids in government schools are diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, autism, etc., and placed on psycho-active drugs like Ritalin (among many other drugs, including anti-depressants) is so that one day the government can deny them, as grown-ups, “permission” to purchase firearms based on “mental health” issues.

So the reason for all the drugging of kids in the schools may go way beyond merely making life more convenient for lazy parents and lazy teachers - - it may be a long-range setup for dismantling Second Amendment rights for most people. Once that’s accomplished, those who are left with government “permission” to own firearms can be dealt with in other ways.
