Our Nation is decompensating fast and is in a mental health crisis:
To wit:

Nazification of everything, from Progressives (moving them from the center-left to the extreme right), to, well just about everything: Time-Life "Documentaries", warning us that "it could happen here" (distinctly unfriendly to the Left - the copy is written so as to attract Teapartiers), projecting inherent racism and John Birch Society/KKK 'values' onto the Left as opposed to those who REALLY hold those views, Swastikas everywhere including neckties (sometimes unwittingly worn by people who have trouble distinguishing figure and ground), and advocacy of tactics which even Tom Clancy vilified in his books, which were considered quite RW when they were published.

Nomination of certifiable candidates for major elective offices who are not only personality-disordered, but are clearly Low IQ, Low intellect, abject morons. who's the last person you know who attended four or five colleges to acquire a B.A.? and even if you knew someone like that, would you consider them intellectually equipped to accept a VeePee (her pronunciation) nomination? Or this utter nincompoop from Delaware - this absolute zero, who actually postulated that mice were bred which had fully-functioning human brains...as if that were remotely possible? Or a lady who looks to outlaw liquor in Nevada? NEVADA? A state which legalizes prostitution? Or this lucky-sperm-club member in Kentucky, who's going to take the seat vacated by the last crazy Senator from the state, making McConnell, once again, a relief to listen to. Think about THAT for just a moment...

The Supreme Court stating that a business entity is a Person by Federal Law. Res Ipse Loquitur there...

Mainstream media accepting of any and all RW mantras, since they themselves are corporate entities and subject to all the 'wonderful' sequelae of having a RW dictatorship, which they most enjoy. All centrist mantras are to be considered 'radical' and 'un-implementable' since a majority of 100 in now defined as 60. this of course, is with the able assistance of the Democrats, who are complicit in this villainy.

Further proof is that Ann Coulter (who blazed the insane trail), Glenn Beck, the now-deceased Robert Novak, Pat Buchanan, and that shit-head-I-won't-even-name over at CNN, are leading the charge over the cliff. Follow these people and we will literally and figuratively be Damned.

Even if we manage to pull out the House and Senate in this election, we are just-this-close to total mental collapse.

1. Meanwhile, in the Latin Americas ...
... and, despite overwhelming corporate media opposition, the left is rising strong.

Here's a bit of evidence ...

"South of the Border" is on YouTube - part #1

3. thank you very much for the link to Oliver Stone's "South of the Border" Video on YouTube
just finished watching, and it was very uplifting, especially the FACT that the left achieved so much in the face of a almost total hostile media.

we can do it here as well, our time has come :bounce:

5. That element has always been there, but hasn't been accepted until recently.
I blame the media for this. They're both a mirror and sculptor of the mainstream, and they're making headway in making crazy the norm.
