Face it, we peasants are just "whack jobs" who need psychiatric treatment!

Bob Belvedere, at his excellent The Camp of the Saints blog is also commenting on the tactic the left is now applying: accusing us peasants of being mentally ill "whack jobs." Belvedere has studied how the same tactic was used by the left in Russia during the last fifteen years of Soviet rule. People expressing opposition to the Soviet rulers were put into psychiatric hospitals, where they were
"subjected to ‘various forms of restraint, electric shocks, electromagnetic torture, radiation torture, entrapment, servitude, a range of drugs (such as narcotics, tranquilizers, and insulin) that cause long lasting side effects, and sometimes involved beatings… inhumane uses of medical procedures such as lumbar punctures’. Others were stripped of their offices and privileges and, in a sense, declared unfit for anything but manual labor. Some were sent to the Gulags."


I think Belvedere is on to something. Have you noticed how the American left has portrayed Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, and now, Juan Williams?

-Thank you for the kind words.

-They've been portraying us on the Right as exremists - how long before they start saying we have 'mental health' issues because, obviously, anyone who holds such 'crazy' views must have something wrong with them.

-BTW: In accordance with Stacy McCain's RULE 2...
I've added your site to my version of the blogroll: Congratulations, you are an official Fellow DHS-Certified Right Wing Extremist.
