| [AccordingToHoyt] Guys, pssst? Can someone check on the left? Because something is seriously, bizarrely wrong. I mean, wrong enough that if the left, collectively, tripped into a hospital’s ER, they’d be slapped with a psychiatric hold. These people ‐ collectively ‐ are not well. Look, when I was growing up, one of our merry band was schizophrenic. When he felt his insanity coming on, he’d go and commit himself, because he didn’t want to hurt anyone. We can only hope (in vain) that the left could have that kind of insight into their mental processes. Recently, I heard of someone also suffering from mental illness, who removed every electrical wire from his house, bashed his laptop, the radio, the TV and his telephone, sent in his own obituary and generally posed a danger to himself and others because the aliens/CIA/someone was spying on him through all of those. He might be saner than the left. No, seriously. I was texting to Bill (Reader) yesterday and I said something like "the left is so crazy it’s starting to scare me. What kind of rational human being thinks we should reorganize our entire economy because an indoctrinated SWEDISH teen needs to allay her anxiety?" And then he said, "Or for instance, that Biden is corrupt, therefore impeach Trump." And then I realized there were a ton of other things just as insane from that side of the isle, and I had to think, and then... I think Sarah has something here. I mean we always talk about Machiavellian plans of the Left/Deep State/Press but, where's the evidence? They're more like somebody proudly proclaiming "I'm Napoleon!" Not that people just like them didn't manage to kill millions within living memory. |

| #1 Of course, the left would have us ask that question of ourselves, knowing we're more serious about truth than they are. I did some reading on mental processes that insist on the reality of things that actually don't exist, such as phantom Limb syndrome. I read about Charles Bonnet syndrome, where people see extremely realistic images that are "out of place": I had a fellow church member say she had that syndrome, and apologized to our pastor for giggling during the last sermon because she saw Bugs Bunny Sitting on his shoulder reading his sermon notes. The interesting thing is that people with Charles bonnet syndrome are not hallucinating, thinking that what they are seeing is real: they see it for sure, but are equally sure that its not real. So, the criterion remains: What are ALL the FACTS of the matter, and how seriously do you take all the facts? |
