Let me get straight to the point: Americans' profound distrust of government is neurotic -- irrational, defensive and born of emotional trauma. [More]See, individual liberty is a delusion of mental illness. It's really all about our having Daddy issues.
Gregory Rodriguez said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Come, embrace emotional health by accepting your place in, and your obligations to the collective.

More like embrace the horror. None are so blind as they that WILL NOT SEE. I'm old, shakey, crippled, diseased, short, nearsighted, and not all that bright. It would be the easiest thing for me to ignore and deny what's going on. Yet, I'm willing and still able, to hit it, when it hits. Why? Because I love liberty more than my own life. It's probably the only worthwhile thing I can leave my children, and grandchildren. III.
ReplyDelete100 million in 100 years. That is the number of people murdered by "their" government. Who can count the cost of the pain and suffering caused because of unwise TRUST in the legal use of violence called government.
ReplyDeleteFreud has not been taken seriously in the field of psychology for decades, and now this chump thinks Freud's theory can form the valid basis for a critique of the liberty movement?
ReplyDeletePeople like Mr. Rodriquez are in for a bitter lesson he gets his way. History has proven time and again that collectivism leads to tyranny and suffering.
It is so sad that he takes his liberty to write for granted, and assumes it will always be there for him. What a putz.
As a health care professional, it's quite clear that the Mr. Rodriguez neurosis was made glaringly obvious by his writing. A very strong demonstration of projection, plus wanting to smear opponents of what he wants to do with government as mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteGridlock is good, we're all safer for it. Mr. Rodriguez thinks that is produced by mental illness.
The Soviet Union had a long history of confining those who opposed it in mental health institutions, Mr. Rodriguez shows a strong indication that that is what he'd practice should he, and those like him, get their hands solidly on the levers of power.
As usual, Mr. Rodriguez begs the question, "what is it they want to do to us after we're disarmed". In this case, I think we know the answer very well.
You want our guns because you think we're crazy.
ReplyDeleteWe've still got our guns.
We'll shoot you if you try to take them (or force us into any other corner you're keen to try).
Your move.
(My suggestion: go away and leave us alone.)
If Mr. Rodriguez speaks for sanity, I want no part of it.
ReplyDeleteThat "emotional trauma" wouldn't be from rogue cops, or martial law, or the reasons behind a certain "shot heard 'round the world", would it?
