Natural Born Psychos

I have been termed a "Natural Born Psycho" by someone who has never met me. Wouldn't know me if he or she fell over me.

The person who labeled me a Natural Born Psycho refers to him/herself as a Citizen Against Lies. That being the case, why do you suppose this person calls me a psycho without ever having exchanged one single solitary word with me? This person, who is the self-appointed distinguisher of truth, defines all republicans with the same crust infested dirty broad brush of psycho and never, in all the lurid insulting following discourse, seems to have a problem with that.

I believe it is safe to assume that the term psycho as it is applied to Republicans on Citizen Whachamacallit's blog is not a flattering term. So, to be sure I understood just what exactly it is I'm being accused of, I looked up the definition of psycho. It is a person with any severe mental disorder in which contact with reality is lost or highly distorted. This would include paranoids and schizophrenics. Eeeeesh. If I didn't know better, and based on that, I'd say I'm one pretty darn scary person. I'd also advise that if I saw me coming, I'd better turn tail and run as fast as possible in the opposite direction.

Except I do know better. And I'm getting awfully tired of uninformed pissant political hacks taking out their personal frustrations by ramping up the cratz negative talking points to call me names because they don't like George W Bush. Hey Citizen Whozerwhatzits? All Republicans are not Natural Born Psychos. Furthermore, since we are now clear on the meaning of Psycho, would you mind explaining to me what a "Natural Born Psycho" is? As opposed to say an UNnatural Born Psycho. If you want to be so all fired quick to toss around labels like that, then kindly explain the semantics of it to me. And I'd really like to know if I stay away from the Natural Born Psychos, is it okay to hang out with the Unnatural Born ones?

One of the issues Citizen Whozerdingy used to make points about those crazy wingers is that George W Bush wanted to suspend Habeas Corpus. Okay, first of all, Citizen Himzerherzits, do you know what Habeas Corpus is? Because there was no indication in your diatribe that you have any idea what this term means in time of war. Further, you gave no indication that you are even aware that Bush's move to suspend Habeas Corpus is not unprecedented. Abraham Lincoln did it during the Civil War, and you know what Citizen Whozername? THAT was before we had foreign terrorists flying our own air craft into very tall buildings killing 3000 people. THAT was when it was brother against brother and the issue of whether or not States could secede from the Union was decided. But to know anything about that, you'd need to have a working knowledge of history. You know, be informed. I didn't get the impression from reading your ramblings that your goals included anything more than thrilling to the sight of your written words on a blog layout.

And that's mainly what annoys me so much about many of the political blogs out there. Very few are kept by people who have a working knowledge of facts. It's all about name calling and verbally vomiting whatever Cape Cod Orca or Stretch Pelosi said during a sound byte on last night's news. There's no room for debate. You either agree with the Fibbies, or you're a liar, a psycho, and unnaturally born.

Fortunately I've got a thick skin, and I know all about sticks and stones, so I'm not the least bit injured or more than mildly insulted at being labeled a Natural Born Psycho. I've been called worse by better people than an ignorant Fibbie. No, being insulted would really be as much a waste of time as trying to debate political policy with an authority on psychosis. Instead I'll just make another bowl of popcorn and read the next blog on the Fibberal rotation. They breed you know. And they do so love to make fools of themselves.
