Bush Derangement Syndrome should be officially classified in the DSM for mental illness

Well lets look at your arguments here and then I will in great detail show the incredible derangement of the Bush haters, and their mental illness as such, and why I really beleive that it should be classified as a mental illness in the DSM. this is NOT a joke. I am DEAD SERIOUS about this. they are DANGEROUS YOUR POINTS (1) " I think any reasonable person can agree that Bush is not the cause of all the world's ills " Well, Gee! Thanks Rob . Thats really big of you! You dont suffer from BDS! here I can assure you that a LARGE SEGMENT of democrats and hard core leftists DO think that Bush IS the cause of all the world ills, and the US by proxy. No question about it (some Cheney Derangement disorder as well) And would this not come under the legitmate terms of mental illness REF for rest of these arguments : http://en.wikipedia.org... DELUSIONAL DISORDER PARNOIA RAGEAHOLIC YOUR NEXT POINT( 2) : Conversely, we can also agree that many of Bush's policies have proven ineffective, and that the controversy surrounding a lot of his programs and decisions is not pure hype. It doesn't take "Bush Derangement Syndrome" to be concerned about warrantless wiretapping, our poor diplomacy and consequent alienation of many foreign nations, or the many scandals and examples of apparent corruption and politicization under his administration. Ok, Rob I am going to ask you to give me a list of these things, after I pick apart your vague examples here. a) warrantless wiretapping there has been much BS about this. The feds have an absolute right to tap communications between people in this nation and foreign hostile entities with possible terorist links WITHOUT a lengthy warrant process. period. In order to tap YOUR phone, they need a warrant. period. Do you NOT want the feds to try and monitor and catch terrorists? If you dont, you are suicidal. And furthermore, do you think the feds and police have ANY interest in monitoring regular citizens, to try to catch you doing what ? or like they have them time and resources to monitor, say , leftist agitators who genuinely hate this country, but are no real threat to commit violence? b) our poor diplomacy and consequent alienation of many foreign nations, This is simply a matter of opinion. I happen to think our foreign policy right now is GREAT, BECAUSE we have has a president with morals, who has taken firm positions of strength, who hasnt wavered a bit and wont. I will point to recent events in FRANCE, where a CONSERVATIVE was elected, Sarkozy, and the great things he just said in his state visit with our fine president. We have never been closer. Ditto for Merkel and Germany. And look at Pakistan- Musharraf smartly sided with us quickly, and bravely, in fighting the terrorists in his midst. We are providing leadership to the world in the war with Islamic terrorists. and the list goes on. so youre just wrong, but again, this is a matter of opinion. But you certianly cant say that we havent been diplomatic with the UN and in middle east and in the rest of the world, whether or not you agree. c) the many scandals and examples of apparent corruption and politicization under his administration. OK, heres where you are going to have to come up with some FACTS, bud. What scandals? the firing of 8 corrupt attorneys? Plame ? give me a break. In another debate I brought up the very many REAL scandals and violations of the law and DEATHS involved in the Clinton administrations, that SHOULD give a democrat pause, but apparently do not, such is their LUST for POWER. CLINTON ABUSE OF POWER THAT DEMOCRATS IGNORE illegal contrubutions ; indictments ; people fleeing the country ; seizing of the FBI files on opponents ; hiring of secret police to intimidate; personal attorneys showing up with a gunshot to the head; commerce secretary under indictment- ditto. ; gassing and burning of 80 innocent men and women and children ; lying under oath etc etc a link : http://members.tripod.com... now on "polticization" Mr Bush has BENT OVER BACKWARDS to try and be nice to the democrats, who have done nothing but DEMONIZE HIM. He never responds in kind to the vicious partisanship, and is very presidential in this regard. NEXT POINT "Bush Derangement Syndrome", a joke intended to poke fun at the extreme excesses of anti-Bush sentiment, obviously refers to a certain mindset or set of beliefs, not a distinct mental illness. There's nothing unique or special about people's attitudes towards Bush in this respect; prominent politicians frequently face vilification from their critics, or idealization from their supporters. I disagree, BDS does have MANY MANY chracteristics of mental illness, is NOT a joke, and has had VERY detrimental effects on the politics in our country. The main types of BDS is the 9/11 conspiracy theorists #1 the 9/11 crazies - this is the main source of my argument, and I assert that these types of people clearly suffer from PARANOIA AND DELUSION. these people are truly mentally ill and are numerous. There is another debate on this thread where some idiot tries to logically argue that the Twin Towers were bombed by OUR government, and the PA crash, Flt 93, and the pentagon crash, Flt 11 DIDINT REALLY happen and were really frauds by OUR GOVERNMENT. This is sick and those that fervently beleive this suffer from BDS and are mental cases who need help. Here is an article that completely summarizes the insanity of these people http://www.alternet.org... Now, Rob, you sound reasonable and that you dont have BDS, but clearly you have to admit, if youre not an over the top partisan democrat that thinking 9/11 happened because , and I quote this above article, on the basic reasoning behond the 9/11 crazies. " A group of power-hungry neocons, led by Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Bush and others and organizationally represented by groups like the Project for a New American Century, seeks to bring about a "Pearl-Harbor-like event" that would accelerate a rightist revolution, laying the political foundation for invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq." now, are these people a "tiny minority" not unlike what many assert is the same with Islamists. the reasoning goes " yes, these people are insane and whacked, but dont represent mainstream Democrats and Muslims " etc . I dont think so. this is a MAINSTREAM DEMOCRAT MOVEMENT that is POISONING debate, 0 % of republicans and about 30% of democrats fit this profile, which is insane, delusional, paranoid, and mentally ill. I can point to many other examples of BDS- rooted in the notion that Bush is an evil person who is singularly responsible for all the ills of the world and who is a blood thirsty war monger that only cares out his oil buddies. The point is that DEMOCRATS are trying to INFLAME these insane notions to try and get POLITICAL ADVANTAGE, and get more votes. they have succeeded to some degree, but now it is coming back to bite them, since Moveon.org and Codepink and the other far lefties are embarrassing them with their actions thats why this is an important topic- these people are DANGEROUS TO THIS NATION becuase they exert great influence on the democrat party, and are causing GREAT HARM to our NATIONAL SECURITY why do you think the democrats have had 60 votes to force defeat in Iraq? why are they against the patriot act and all other intel gathering? why do they constantly assault this president (and VP) and use increasingly vulgar terms to do so? becuase of BDS, which is a virulent mental illness, which has infected the body politic this illness needs to be properly addressed and treated.
