it has been said that liberalism is a mental illness. It is more accurately stated that liberals are mentally ill, to one degree or another. Does liberalism cause mental illness in an otherwise healthy individual? Do moderate muslims become radicalized?

You left out all the juicy bits about Amanda Marshall.

“[Another Article] Marshall fell under an internal review in March 2015 by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General for what has been described as erratic behavior involving a subordinate. Sources told The Oregonian/OregonLive that she had constantly texted and emailed Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott M. Kerin, at one point admonishing him for spending too much time with a woman who was not his wife. (link)”

I believe mentally ill people often fall prey to the liberal message. Note, there are many shades of mental illness, it is not black and white, sane or stark raving mad. Many people just have some hangups, issues, etc. The liberal message gives them something to hang onto, a way to feel good about themselves compared to those other guys. (that would be us, the people liberals demonize) Once you've been pulled into the liberal camp, it is cult-like. You have to buy into more and more of "the message" else it all starts to fall apart and not make sense. So whatever mild to moderate mental issues people have that help them succumb to the liberal message, being liberal requires serious levels of self delusion and willful disconnect from the real world.

So I agree, liberals are virtually all mentally ill to a mild to modest degree. (some may simply be ignorant and naive, but that's just the larval stage). The "leadership" of the liberal movement however I believe are very rational and calculating. They want power and control and are carefully crafting the liberal message and agenda to get it. Witness all the liberties we have lost because of liberal "leadership." Liberals celebrate court cases forcing this or that business owner to violate beliefs, etc. They are too parochial and short-sighted to see them as freedoms lost.

The Hammonds were clearly subjected to double jeopardy, at least in spirit, if not by letter of law.

With a nut prosecutor like this, I would have hoped that the judge on the appeal would give more deference to the original judge than to this overzealous prosecutor. That’s the second line of defense (or self-correction) in the system. Do we know anything about the second judge? It should have been thrown out of court, and the prosecutor admonished for over-reach.

I support Cruz, but Ted Cruz has really blown it on this issue. This is EXACTLY what the 2nd Amendment was intended for.

Don’t expect Trump to support the Hammonds...he thinks the Kelo decision was good and Federal land grabs are good.

This is a case where Ben Carson can distinguish himself and get back in the race.

Liberals are not affected by a mental disease, they have contracted LEMMING DISEASE.

The ability to analyze, reason and form their own thoughts is erased when this disease occurs. They will simply follow the lemming in front of them no matter what...even if it means blindly jumping over a cliff to their death.

This is why it is fruitless to even try to engage in thoughtful discussion with any of them for they only see what their fellow lemmings see and believe.

Once infected, it is extremely rare that they will ever be cured for their brains have rotted to the point that all they do is follow the lemming in front of them...nothing more.

I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.

Read the whole thing. The article is a little repetitious, poorly written, but there are a lot of very strange things going on in Oregon. I’d stay a long way from it, to tell you the truth.
