Bush Derangement Syndrome
Posted December 12th, 2007 by Da King
I don't need to add much to this post, which was entered over at the DailyKos website. I found it while surfing Malkin's website. It speaks for itself. This is what ingesting the Kos-type propaganda does to people. Can you say M-O-O-N-B-A-T ? (Note that the poster "took the trouble to inform myself about politics A COUPLE YEARS AGO", no doubt by reading the Daily Kos-monauts). I don't know whether to pity this guy, laugh, or alert the authorities. He could be the next guy to shoot up a church. I apologize for the couple words of profanity, but I left them in to show the mindset of this person.
—————————————————————————————
meldroc: Bush has also damaged my mental health.
After I actually took the trouble to inform myself about politics a couple years ago, and learned the true extent of the damage Bush has done to this country, I have a constant boiling rage inside me. Absolutely constant. Never ceases, though sometimes I can get it down to a simmer so I can go out in public and hang out with friends without doing something stupid. On top of the anger is a generous dose of fear and anxiety, coming directly from the Bush administration's march to fascism.
Frequently, I'm so intensely angry that I hit things. I just broke my bookshelf today because I hit it. My knuckles have decent callouses on them from hitting things, and various pieces of my property show signs of my rage. Thankfully, I've never turned violent against people since I was in high school, though I was sorely tempted to deviate the septum of a wingnut who called me a traitor and f*ggot to my face at the anti-war march last Saturday.
Of course, it's unhealthy to harbor this much anger, especially if I'm stuffing it down all the time so people around me don't see me acting borderline psychotic. These emotions leak out, turn into other emotions, like depression, which I've fought with since college. I've also developed a venomous hatred of Bush and his cronies and the 23-percenters that support him. Hatred's never a good emotion to hold, but there it is. I literally hate those motherf*ckers who are destroying our country.
By all rights, I should be getting help, but I'm not going to. I was soured on the psychiatry business by my experience with anti-depressants - I ended up nearly emotionless, apathetic, and lost my motivation and creative drive, and as a result, I was unemployed for three years and had to move back in with my parents. I was your classic anti-depressant zombie. They didn't like the changes to my personality either, and stopped paying for the meds. After I tapered off the anti-depressants, I got my drive back, I was able to find work as a software engineer again, move into my own apartment, and now I'm supporting myself again. On top of that, if I told a counselor about my feelings, or that I'm so afraid of my government that I literally spent several hundred dollars on a shotgun, a deadly weapon, to defend myself against my government, I'm afraid I could get thrown into the psych ward. And I value my freedom enough that I will not allow that to happen under any circumstances. So, no shrinks.
I haven't talked to my best friend and ex-roommate in weeks because of a few personal issues between us, including politics - he's Republican, and though he's no fan of Bush, he constantly mocks and belittles my politics when I talk to him. So I don't."

He sounds like a typical Dim to me — angry, depressed, confused, … and stupid.
And again, we have to cite Miss Coulter. She's ahead of the curve when she pointed out, "If Democrats had any brains, they'd be Republicans" (2007)

King: I know it's tough these days for apologists of conservatism and the Republican party…..that I know. I feel your pain. But taking one unusual person's words as indicative of something you call "Bush derangement syndrome" is ludicrous.
This guy OBVIOUSLY had trouble before the last two years. The two years in which he has learned about the terrible criminality of Bush and his Bunglers. The point being…..this person had some phscological problems BEFORE he even learned to hate Bush.
"…I actually took the trouble to inform myself about politics a couple years ago.."
"These emotions leak out, turn into other emotions, like depression, which I've fought with since college."
"I was soured on the psychiatry business by my experience with anti-depressants - I ended up nearly emotionless, apathetic, and lost my motivation and creative drive, and as a result, I was unemployed for three years and had to move back in with my parents. I was your classic anti-depressant zombie."
I'll tell you what is indicative of something though……68% of Americans say we're headed in the wrong direction as a nation. That's not Bush Derangement Syndrome being reflected…..that's reality.
Ghost: Coulter ahead of the curve??? Yeah….just like the way batters were when facing Sudden Sam McDowell so long ago. Expecting heat, they struck out with regularity when they swung and missed "ahead of the curve".

Da King, you are a mean person. Now you are making fun of somebody that Malkin combed out of the Daily Kos website/message board. This person (meldroc) sought treatment and had to use medications. You should respond with compassion. I'll give you time. I think you will grow into it.
"How come" you never write *original material* that is relevant to Ohio? Here are some issues that come up in the local media and issues that people actually talk about: health care, off shoring, products from China, the electricity bill, regionalism, infrastructure, and climate protection.

The Republicans' plan to make war with Iran is in disarray and Rudy cannot run on that issue. Now the issues will be the broad swath of domestic issues and the Republican loss of the war in Iraq.
The Democrats could win districts in Cincinnati (OH-1) and Stark County (retiring Regula's district, 11?)

Well now, Tom, I wonder why you aren't writing a blog for the Beacon. Could it be that you want to talk about only bland subjects and just can't compete with da King? I think that that could well be the problem. Actually the paper got old Red to do the left leaning blog a long time ago which cuts you out unless you can replace him.

King, I have read meldrec many times on Dailykos and he always sounds just like this. All his writing demonstrates what we have said about the leftier lefties for some time in that they reason on emotion only and in his case he says he couldn't do that when he was kept down by anti-emotion medications. I have never heard him sound much different that this although this is the first time I have heard him describe his emotional state.
According to Tom you are really a nasty man to write a blog based on the emotionality of one contributor. I have read too many of the comments on that blog, Kos, not to know that he is not so much different than the others who comment there.
Good job of pointing out the weannesses of the opponents of good government.

King,
This is from Dr. Sanity's blog. I think it is relavent to what you've posted.
READ IT AND WEEP
This news must just drive the left crazy (or crazier, depending):
Recent polls placing President Bush’s approval numbers near 30 percent miss an important distinction: The policies and positions the president has advocated since 2001 have led to significant results in recent days. In short, the presidency of George W. Bush is surging, rather than waning, with little more than one year remaining in his term.
From domestic policies that have kept the economy strong, to the war on terror–President Bush is well on his way to leaving an overall successful legacy, much to the horror of his fanatical detractors.
I predict an epidemic of Post-Bush Stress Disorder (PBSD) breaking out sometime in the next 10 years when history looks back favorably on the Bush era. Lefties need to read the article and then allow themselves to weep so the healing can begin.
Then they can schedule an appointment with me to get some antipsychotic or antidepressant medication to help with their troublesome symptoms. Or, just intensive therapy to cope with reality!

Da King is so lazy that he has to comb through Michelle Malkin's website to find something to bloviate about.
Story ideas: Al Gore wins the Nobel Prize. New Australian Prime Minister Rudd signs the Kyoto accord for climate protection on his first day in office. Climate talks in Bali. New data shows the Arctic ice cap may be fully melted in the summer in seven years.

Roy,
I'm so depressed that Tom has called me mean and lazy, sniff. I must have hit close to home for him to grab at such straws to find something to criticize me about, lol.
You are absolutely correct that there are tons of meldrocs at DailyKos, Democratic Underground, and the like.
December 12th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
Tom,
Thanks a bunch for the neato storyline ideas, like about how I can praise Al Gore. I'll get right on that. Or, you say I can write something about global warming. Well, I already did that, but I'll have to pass since THAT'S WHAT WAS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE BEACON AND OHIO.COM. Yes, I'll just regurgitate whatever they do. Gosh, why didn't I think of that ? I guess I'm too lazy.

Mr. Da
The only Bush derangement syndrome is on your blog. Were you not a member of his cult, you might recognize him for the fraud he is. He will leave this country morally and financially bankrupt with more enemies than before he took office.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your opinion. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm only lukewarm on Bush. He's done many things I don't like, such as being soft on immigration and leading the Republicans in abandoning fiscal conservatism. Bush is much too liberal for me, though he seems to be growing a conservative backbone lately.

King, I wonder when at least one of our little group of left leaners will admit to being a regular reader and contributor to Daily Kos. Surely at least one of them is one of those. We know some of the wild left blogs like smirkingchimp that one of them has quoted and quoted over time and surely he read kos.
I don't get directed to smirkingchimp any more since I lost my line to the ohio.com forum that I loved for so many years but I never fail to get directions to some of the others. I guess I need to tell my regulars of today about the chimp so they could keep fully informed about anti-Bush news all the time.

Roy, isn't our old Chicago friend over at Kestrel's place ? What a great loss, and I mean that in all non-seriousness. I sure do miss those smirkingchimp articles, lol. And nobody has called me a 'RepubliCON' on this blog yet. Darn the luck.
You know, the old ohio.com forum is still there, but it's almost a total ghost town. Neandy is one of the few remaining diehards, last time I looked.
