[DenverDem]

Plans cooked up by his paymasters in the drug industry, of course.

You will be forced to take the blue pill.

[drdtroit]

1. Starting with himself? n/t

[mother earth]

3. Now what does he want to put in the water?

Geez.....

[billyoc]

2. Nah, just forced to pay for them. n/t

[Malebolgia]

4. I'll refuse to be screened.

It's none of the god-damn government's business what's going on inside my head. :grr:

[lgardengate]

9. So Will i but, this says it will be FORCED and that Primary Care

Givers will screen us during check up's.So what do we do if big brother decides to force us to take the drugs? Will they have people forcably commited and druged? This is Worse than socialism.

[kodi]

5. in the USSR dissidents were found mentally incompetent and incarcerated

that is the plan for america too.

6. yee har

the lunatics are running the asylum!

(what is the name of that old movie --something about Hearts -- was it Alan Bates?)

[Dragonfly]

15. "King of Hearts," with the lovely and gracious

Genevieve Bujold (Sp?) in it, as well.
Extremely thought-provoking and timeless piece of cinema.

Saw it in B.C. in the late '70's. You have made an apt appraisal of our situation, my friend.

[oldtime dfl_er]

29. Thanks for supplying the title

it was driving me crazy (no pun intended).

[Turn CO Blue]

7. I will admit to being depressed about the election,

so, since major depression is a form of mention illness, I can skip the Josef Mengele-type screenings. Right?

[Cha]

8. I was just jumping on to say...

"him first!"

I see where others have the same idea.

[OneTwentyoNine]

10. I can think of at least 58 million that NEED to take that test....nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Indeed! n/t

[blueblitzkrieg]

11. Even the freepers are freaked out...

but they still voted for the dumbfuck!

"The most disturbing aspect of this initiative is that president bush supports it.

Truly frightening.

One nut over there is convinced this is a plan to steal their guns! Lord Jebus, help us, save the guns!

19. Well, this was my only hope! That crap like this will happen and will

come back to bite these asshats in the ass for voting for this Chimp! Didn't we try to tell them? When's the draft?

[leesa]

34. Well, ChimpCo will be making the test, so I'm sure those lunatics will

pass with flying colors.

[vetwife]

25. You call us liberal fanatics ! But we warned you ! We told you!

It is outrageous and I will not participate in government trying to get into my head, its bad enough they have gotten into my pocketbook, and my faith. I am a christian but its personal choice and not a government mandate. Maybe the freepers will find out that we are more conservative in some areas than they thought ! We do believe in fiscal responsibility in fact, I will go one step further I am probably the most conservative person I know, but I vote liberal to try and stop this sort of outrage of demonizing people. Don't we have enough stamps on people without adding mental illness and the freeper on FR was right when he or she stated that the insane has taken over the asylum but of course we have known that for a long time. Wait till they try electric shock treatment? This is barbaric and its time for all Americans, Dem and Republic to take their rights back from the politicians. Just think, another Beauracrcy to label us all nuts and get along and go along, while we pay for it. Think about it freepers, no dissent, from your side or ours. EVER !

28. This could have won us the election.

Between the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health and the plan to bring medical records into the internet age (think VeriChip) I had hopped these issues could have risen to the top prior to the election. I was saddened to read the names of the Representatives that supported the NFCMH program to screen children before starting school so that could be "ready to learn." All Americans should have access to mental AND physical health services, but this is just payback to the drug company lobby. Hey, they might even provide government funds to put the kiddies on Ritalin, another chance to put our tax dollars into the pockets of the drug companies.

And with a chip planted under our skin, any medical worker could access all our records with the wave of a wand. Just in case we got too drugged and began to wander.

Tried to make this friendly, but both issues are very serious.

12. Say "Goodbye"..

...to members of the site that won't be mentioned here.

[Eloriel]

13. This scares the bejeesus out of me

This is NOT a benign program, and it's not just the forced part of it that I'm talking about.

No way I'm going to submit to this. No way.

[AmandaRuth]

14. what a sham, if boosh really wanted to do something about mental illness

he could start by providing care and shelter for the homeless mentally ill - oh wait, that would provide no payoff for the pharmo-thugs.

[flobee1kenobi]

16. WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!

you damn freepers wouldnt listen!
I know you are lurking here!
Your man already endorsed this thing-he likes the idea
Is this what you wanted? because its what you voted for AND DONT EVEN TRY TO TELL ME ITS NOT!
because WE TOLD YOU it would be coming
WE WARNED YOU!
fucking ignorant freepers!
(sorry for the language, but im flat out pissed off!)

[Minstrel Boy]

17. The co-opting of the medical profession to political ends.

Now where have we seen that before?

I remember a friend telling me the most disturbing image he carried from Schindler's List was that of Nazis in medical gowns.

Read The Nazi Doctors by Robert Jay Lifton, before you're told you're crazy.

"Where am I?" asks America.

"In the Village," the answer comes.

[Cat Atomic]

18. This bill has always seemed more like a pharmaceutical giveaway to me.

[Cleita]

20. He really can't do that without turning a lot of

his kool-aid drinkers against him. Even they have a line that they draw in the sand.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

21. the average joe isn't going to stand for mass testing....at least i hope

they will not stand for it.

so the republican conservative wants to test everyone for mental illness? lol, less intrusive government eh?

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Let's start with him!

You first georgie!

[walldude]

24. I heard about this awhile ago

what really pissed me off is they want to start with the kids, in school, with or without your permission.

[mslux]

26. New Freedom Commission on Mental Health

Well since the drug companies are behind the commission and the plan to screen every American for mental health... Maybe they'll come up with a drug to treat conspiracy theorists. I caught the disease November 2.

When I was a kid the president initiated the council on physical fitness. See how far we've come.

[kittenpants]

27. Whoa, that title...

"New Freedom Comission on Mental Health" is crazy. This administration has made the term "Orwellian" trite. I think we need a new word in order to describe this type of thing. My vote is for "holycrapthisisnothappening." I am open to more suggestions though.

[KayLaw]

30. Yep

Freedom is what the Big Bush Government tells you it is. Period.

Also, I think that Freeper is right. I think eventually the guns will have to go. I wonder if that's what's in the Patriot Act II that no one's supposed to see.

If these guys really are cheating by " counting " the votes the way they want, how else can they be stopped but by the armed militia the Freepers are always talking about? Now this is a very Orwellian situation.

:smoke:

[peekaloo]

31. Will there be camps for the afflicted? Tattoos? Maybe lil' stars pinned

to special uniforms?

A drugged up Murka is a happy Murka.

good ol' Brave New World Order.

[ananda]

32. Mainly for children, but...

I think this insidious policy is mainly designed to target the rest of the children not currently labeled and drugged by schools and adult caregivers. The pharmaceutical companies and their allies make billions off these kids.

The only problem is that these drugs are VERY bad for kids, leading to problems in growth, brain development, exacerbated tendencies to violence and suicide, and addiction.

Adults will also be targeted to some extent, but I think this targeting will be mostly inclined towards minorities and the lower classes. The affluent or well-covered people are already taking their designer drugs.

It's a BAD business, very very bad....

33. HUBRIS - the gift that keeps on giving!

[helderheid]

35. Tell Dr. Phil

I was a skeptic until I saw a Dr. Phil show where a man's son was taken from him because he refused to give him ADHD drugs and the school turned him into social services.
