The amount of, I'll be kind and call it "misinformation," in the general public about these disorders is what makes having them such a challenge.
A lot of famous people had or have mental illness, for example: Abe Lincoln (major depression), his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln had Schizophrenia, Winston Churchill (BiPolar). John Forbes Nash Jr (Nobel Prize in Mathematics - the movie Beautiful Mind is based on him) - Schizophrenia, Michael Phelps (ADHD), Jimmy Peirsall, Boston Red Sox (BiPolar), Edgar Allen Poe (BiPolar), Meera Popkin, Broadway star of CATS, Schizophrenia, Theodore Roosevelt (BiPolar), Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Ted Turner (BiPolar - yeah, I know), Ludwig Van Beethoven (BiPolar), Jean-Claude Van Damme (BiPolar), Sol Wachtler, Chief Judge NY Court of Appeals (BiPolar), Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac (Schizophrenia), Patty Duke (BiPolar), Sid Barrett of Pink Floyd (Schizophrenia). Lastly, Jim Vilanucci, the top rated talk show host in New Mexico (77 KKOB) suffers from BiPolar. In fact I have had Jim as a guest speaker in a 12-week family education course I teach through NAMI.
My point is, people with brain disorders have an illness like diabetes or heart disease, it's just that their illlness, through no fault of their own, happens to affect the brain. In many (maybe even most) cases, if properly treated, these people can lead fairly normal, productive lives. They deserve our compassion.
I can see that Hitler youtube skit where Hitler is told that there are no more psycho spoiled brats for the Obama Administration to hire..
they are all now working for the Administration.
What to do, Hitler ponders. Outside his office the Administration employees fret.. "Out of spoiled brats.. noooo say it is not so!" they lament.
Then Hitler bitterly decides that the only Obama supporters who are left to hire are people with “psychiatric disabilities” and “severe intellectual disabilities.” That's as close as they can come.
.. though Michael Savage's idea that Obama/Holder are planting these nut cases in the bureaucracy (with total civil service protection) is the reason they are hiring them for the next administration.
barackracy n government bureau staffed by psycho spoiled brats, people with “psychiatric disabilities” and “severe intellectual disabilities.”
(A search revealed years ago one "barackracy" hit, a letter to the editor of the International Herald-Tribune. NOw there are a mere 5000 or so -- should be 5 million.)
More evidence that Obama and his minions hate this country. No one who loved America would do things like this - hiring crazy people and stupid people on purpose? It is evil.
