When is a Mentally Deranged Person ...Deranged?

When he is Mentally Deranged.

Like the poor chap in Arizona.

He killed 6 people and badly wounded several more including a Congress Women - but the fact remains, he was and is mentally deranged.

Classmates speak of him as a loner - who laughed out loud for no apparent reason. Teachers called him unbalanced and eventually had to expell him from school.

Liberals though call him politically motivated and affected by the current 'acrimonious political environment' in the United States as if he was in some way capable of some reasonable thought.

He wasn't - he was and continues to be severely mentally disturbed and in desperate need of psychiatric care.

But the Liberals conveniently overlook that fact and gleefully lay the blame on Palin, Beck and the Tea Partyers.

Had this massacre occurred differently - say in a school or shopping centre - these same Liberals would be calling for greater hand gun control and in that regard- they would be correct.

In the vast majority of US States (80% +) - citizens cannot be denied hand guns. In only 3 jurisdictions - DC, Illinois and Indiana are they not allowed. That should be the focus along with psychiatric screening.

We see the effects daily here in Ottawa of mentally unbalanced persons living on the streets. In times past, they were given protection and care but due to governments' liberal attitudes these poor folks have been let loose to fend for themselves despite the fact that they are not able to do so.

Mental illness is not a hidden illness - it manifests itself in public and in cases such as the poor chap in Arizona. Why was he not offered help - even enforced help while a student? Why does it always take a tragedy before something is done?

I will tell you why - it does not fit the Liberal mould despite the fact that everyone suffers especially the mentally ill themselves.

But back to the Liberals and Arizona.

They are scared. They do not want to see the average citizen - "the great unwashed" actively involved in the political process. If that were to happen, it would spell serious trouble for the Left's vocal minorities who have been successfully able hijack the political agenda for so long - Democrat and Republican alike.

So they use tragedy's such as Arizona, to undermine the growth of groups such as the Tea Party.

From my perspective though, their attempts to discredit the Tea Partyers (TP) will back fire and will only serve to energize.

Why you might ask?

It comes back to dollars and cents - the USA is broke and is in desperate need of some tough fiscal medicine and the olde liberal guard is simply not up to providing it. Indeed, many on the Left seem to be hell bent on bringing the US to financial ruin, while the Chinese are smiling all the way to the bank.

As I see it...
