Bush
Diagnosed as Crazy
Comment by Larry Ross, January 1, 2006
All the symptoms of crazy, twisted thinking
and refusal to consider constructive criticism of what he wants to do,
are evidence of serious mental problems. With his spoilt but distant upbringing,
he believes he is entitled to do as he pleases. This is reinforced by
his born-again Christian
Fundamentalism. He believes he was chosen by God to lead the
United States; that he gets advice from God; and that what he does is
both inspired and sanctioned by God. He does not accept criticisms of
this doctrine. Larry Ross ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE AGRIBUSINESS EXAMINER, March 17, 2003,
Issue #230
"I will be harsh as
truth and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject --- William Lloyd Garrison,
(1805-1879) Abolitionist Editor, The Liberator As the United States stands this day virtually upon the precipice of determining the fate of not only our nation, but the entire world for generations to come silence in the face of George W. Bush's dogs of war is morally and politically unacceptable. At the risk, therefore, of alienating many of the readers of THE AGRIBUSINESS EXAMINER this issue is one journalist's effort to speak truth to absolute power, a power we can see each and every day is corrupting absolutely!!! Blindly, in a false sense of patriotism, and led by a war mongering president, and cheered on by such publications as The Washington Post and television networks like FOX, in addition to the dozens and dozens of right-wing radio "commentators" who spend most of their waking hours complaining about the "liberal" bias in the media (???), the American people are being hoodwinked into a war designed to solely benefit those "gamblers in the necessities of life." As our friend political columnist Molly Ivins recently pointed out: "According to a poll conducted by The
New York Times and CBS, 42% of Americans believe Saddam Hussein of Iraq
was personally responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center,
something that has never even been "Ambrose Bierce, the 19th century cynic, once observed that war is God's way of teaching Americans geography. Going to war with the people in such a state --- not of ignorance, but of misinformation --- is truly terrifying." While literally millions of people around the world have been taking to the streets in peaceful protest to this Bush & Co., instigated war our own U.S. Senate, as Minnesota's Mark Dayton recently noted in a speech to his colleagues, has remained silent (see below). Likewise, while the clergy, labor, students, senior citizens and thousands of others in the U.S. have repeatedly voiced their opposition to this war, the voices of U.S. farm organizations have been discouragingly and remarkably muted. For example, those peddlers of "free trade" within the farm community that see such trade as U.S. agriculture's panacea will ignore the New York Times' John Tagliabue's story (see below) at their own risk. As we face today the prospect of seeing our country overtly initiate the first war in its history and the resulting horror and tragedy of seeing so many of this earth's men, women and especially "our" children dying needlessly, silence and neutrality cannot and should not be tolerated. Indeed even Sacred Scripture, curiously enough in Apocalypse 3:15-17, tell us: "I know thy works; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COUNTERPUNCH: Pattern Recognition: "Is The 'President' Nuts?" asks Carol Wolman, M.D. "Many people, inside and especially outside this country, believe that the American president is nuts, and is taking the world on a suicidal path." [Counterpunch October 2, 2002] A board-certified psychiatrist in practice for 30 years, Dr. Wolman feels compelled to understand the "psychopathology" of man "under tremendous pressure from both his family/junta, and from the world at large." Dr. Wolman wonders if GW is suffering from Antisocial Personality Disorder, as described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fourth Edition: "There is a pervasive pattern of disregard
for and violation of the rights of others: Continue ....
