Neurotic or Psychotic?

I second your motion. Now we need an action plan. How do you introduce a psychotic to actual, y'know, reality? If they start at a point where, oh, say, - the belief that requiring the showing of ID to register to vote is racism - They are not living in a slightly altered reality, they are living in Bizarro World.

Yeah, if you ignore/dismiss his radical upbringing, ignore his deliberate seeking out of the radicals at each destination, his description of "being behind enemy lines" during his one private-sector job, and the uncanny pattern of going where and doing what radicals would do to break the country, then I guess you'd have to conclude Obama is trying to be loved. If you need more proof, look how many years it has taken for 0 to whip up a jobs program. There will be one any month now. Look at how hard 0 tried to get approval by having a quiet and unassuming vacay is some remote cabin by the shore. Seriously, the people that don't see "Wrecking The Future" are people looking the other way. A broken clock is right more often than this guy. It is a deliberat act.

All rulers without exception believe they are acting in the peoples best interest.

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience--Camus

Reminds me of Chesterton: "The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything but his reason."

We know a lot of the people who claim to disapprove of Obama now will still vote for him in 2012. It's either that or vote for a 'gasp' Republican.

To compound the psychosis, we had those "conservative" luminaries who boosted and voted for Obama, because, despite some differences in belief they apparently thought trifling, they saw Obama as "one of them" because of his supposed breeding and the schools he went to.

A partial rogues gallery of useful imbeciles:

--Anne Althouse
--Peggy Noonan
--Chris Buckley
--Megan McCardle

I know the list is much longer than that, so feel free to expand it. And notice that, so far, they're all females in my list.

Michael Smerconish, an allegedly "conservative" talk radio host in Philadelphia and sometime substitute for Bill O'Reilly.

I'd also add Michael Medved, who, while he (probably) didn't vote for Obama (as far as I know), continues to harbor the touching belief that Obama is a normal patriotic American who is sincerely trying to do his best for the country. He just has some misguided economic ideas, that's all.

Talk about delusional.
