Opposing Bush: A Form of Mental Illness?

Well I have never considered my self nuts, though some may beg to differ on that point it’s a good thing I don’t live in Amerika.

Opposing Bush: A Form of Mental Illness?

It’s not the stolen election or the war crimes committed in my name. It’s not the fact Bush is a liar and a criminal. It’s not the Strausscons in the White House and the Pentagon, plotting multiple wars in the Middle East and elsewhere. It’s not Congress, sold out to neolibs, multinational corporations, and Wall Street loan sharks.
It’s me.

I’m suffering from “political paranoia” and need Paxil, a prescription drug for the treatment of anxiety and depression. It’s not the 100,000 dead killed by my government in Iraq. It’s not torture or loose talk of nuking enemies. It is a serotonin imbalance in my brain.

I suffer from any number of possible maladies—depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (thus writing this blog every day), and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I suffer from mental illness and need help.

Congress may come to the rescue—and soon.
“When the 109th Congress convenes in Washington in January, Senator Bill Frist, the first practicing physician elected to the Senate since 1928, plans to file a bill that would define ‘political paranoia’ as a mental disorder, paving the way for individuals who suffer from paranoid delusions regarding voter fraud, political persecution and FBI surveillance to receive Medicare reimbursement for any psychiatric treatment they receive,” writes Hermione Slatkin, Medical Correspondent for the Swift Report.

“Rick Smith, a spokesman for Senator Frist, says that the measure has a good chance of passing—something that can only help a portion of the population that is suffering significant distress.”

“If you’re still convinced that President Bush won the election because Republicans figured out a way to hack into electronic voting machines, you’ve obviously got a problem,” says Smith. “If we can figure out a way to ease your suffering by getting you into therapy and onto medication, that’s something that we hope the entire 109th Congress will support.”

Funny how the wheel turns.

Once upon a time 're-education' and 'psychiatric therapy' was something waved at us to scare us about what the commies supposedly hoped to do with people who didn't quite see things their way.

There are more serious disorders than the truth and political dissent.

Cognitive dissonance, experienced every day by Bush supporters with any capacity to think, will cause more serious problems for them in the not too distant future.

USA: Police State, with new improved measures of reprogramming and incarceration, continues to be wheeled out to the supposedly cheering masses. One size straitjacket fits all and your gulag awaits.
