This is insane.

Extending the psychiatric gulag.

More than 45 million Americans, or 20 percent of U.S. adults, had some form of mental illness last year, and 11 million had a serious illness, U.S. government researchers reported on Thursday.


Survey done by a government agency. The solution of course is more government. Of course.

Depression and anxiety. Considering the times, anyone surprised? Worst in those 20 and under. The ones born during and after the Clintonreich. The NWO is all they know.
Obamacare will make all those medical records government property. Then they can get to making the Prohibited Persons lists in earnest.

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny. — Thomas Jefferson

The lefties (and commie nations) have said for years that anyone that disagrees with them must be insane. The aclu made .gov empty the asylums (hence most of the homeless problem) but how much do you want to bet that those of us of like mind would NEVER see the light of day short of a "coocoo's nest" type of solution?

The solution is treatment for the mentally ill. Have you looked into getting some?

Under the guise of "reasonable gun laws", being "mentally ill" provides a government the excuse to confiscate your firearms.

20 percent - 1 in 5. Isn't that the percent that self-identifies as "liberal"?

Just sayin....

Uncle Al said...

Add up all federal, state, and local government employees and elected officials, and those who voted for them, I think that'll account for the 20%.

Lets see... Roughly 1 in 5 are considered liberals in America. Also, 1:5 == 20%. Related, nah.... Can't be :-)

And 20 percent of the population is polled as being 'liberal'. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! ;D

Yeah, but being mentally ill means not having to say you're sorry, like after giving them the bullets first.

David Codrea said...

Not to be too shameless about this, but...

And 20% consistently self-identify as liberal or very liberal. Seems about right.

Yep, as Charles said, when the Gubbment determines that you are mentally ill, it's their excuse for taking away your firearms.

Things that make you go hmmmm. . . .
