Liberals Go Crazy For The Mentally Ill

I suffer from a serious mental illness, Bipolar Disorder, but luckily my illness, a physical illness that affects mood control and sometimes even cognitive aspects of my psyche, was easy to treat. While I have disrespect for public figures like Coulter calling those of us who suffer from illnesses "crazy people", I do have to add that, often, the most mentally deranged people in society seem the most sane. Coulter is one of these. It's obvious. When we realize that two to three individuals out of every 100 is a psychopath, I have no problem at all in equating Coulter with the likes of Ted Bundy and Ed Geiss. The largest conglomeration of psychopaths in America is on Wall Street and in executive positions.

Many major mental illnesses first present in the late teens or early twenties, something that makes it especially difficult to predict when the more-properly termed mentally ill are going to have a psychotic break. We already know by Coulter's use of "crazy people" that she has little to no compassion for those stricken by mental illness, nor does she have an adequate comprehension of her own anything-but-normal state-of-mind. Face it: Coulter's a psychopath. In addition, you know she'd freeze.
Only one to two percent of all people with mental illness become a danger to themselves or others. But Coulter's right: That first Bipolar, depressive, psychotic episode is usually a bad one, and hence it is albeit impossible for the so-called "normies" (there is no such thing as "normal") to tell when a person is going to go off the rails. My hope is that those with mental illness are not stigmatized by those who point the finger solely at them. My further hope is that states get with it in terms of advancing their committments to public mental healthcare programming. By the way, 2 percent of Americans are psychopaths. Where are they? On Wall Street.

Maybe Minorities' Values Need Changing

It's both funny and sad when the rightie-tighties go all racist because their schizophrenic values lost them the election. Let's see, for the first time in history, we had a "Randian Catholic psychopath" running as a Republican vice presidential nominee, and a "Mormon vulture capitalist psychopath" running for president on the Republican ticket. How can one wing of the Republican vulture be "every man for himself" while the other wing is "love thy neighbor"? Dennis Prager is one sick puppy.
The actual students--Nestle, Frito Lay, Coca Cola--are definitely dissatisfied with admonitions to make their food more healthy, but the PR line is that "little tiny children", many of whom happen to be fat as prime porkers due to advertising sugar, salt and fat, because after all salt is money, oil is money and sugar is money. The conservative movement believes "family values" are actually the monetary worth to be gleaned from processed food.

Socialist or Fascist

I find the Conservative movement's branding of Obama as either Socialist or Fascist to be not only disheartening but patently false. A good study of Conservatism, for example, reveals that, even in Edmund Burke's time, when Burke was flailing all over the place in a fluster over the French Revolution, that it's main concern is, and always has been, the privatization of power to an elite few. Hitler's "elite few" was his so-called Master Race. Mussolini's was an essentially Conservative radicalization of politics that sought to bring back the glory of the Roman empire. Today our "master race" is "the investor class".
