Are Independent Thinkers Mentally Ill?

Descartes, Mozart, Disney, Socrates were ALL independent THINKERS! This is unbelievable bullsh*t! My gosh, the MARXIST SOCIALIST CLONES won't stop at NOTHING to move their agenda forward! It pains my mom and I to see the term LIBERAL HIJACKED by clones! LIBERAL means INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM! LIBERAL means FREEDOM of thought, creativity and choice! Nowadays we get BERATED for questioning an assumption or thinking outside of the box. We must think like the HERD. :/ Well you clones are gonna need to find yourselves another pasture to graze on! I for one ENJOY MY INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM and will do everything in my power to keep it. INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM is contrary to the collective progressive socialist agenda!

I was born into and raised in a very very LIBERAL household and environment. It's disturbing to see this term perverted by a group of people who would have you believe it to mean otherwise. God created each one of us to be UNIQUE in form, creativity and DNA code.

How many of you so-called LIBERALS know that Socialism takes away your INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS and makes you part of the COLLECTIVE?! Well, that is what is happening today. I post news about how our government is robbing us of our individual rights as we speak. Those of you who have kept your eye on the carrot President Obama and his drones have been dangling in front of you FAIL to see this FACT! I pray that ALL of you wake up before it is too late.

“When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.” ~ by Anais Nin (French born American Author of novels and short stories, 1903-1977)

"I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I AM." ~ by René Descartes (French Mathematician, Philosopher and Scientist, 1596-1650)

My friend Russ made a very insightful observation about France that I had not realized. I want to share it with you. "When I took the Driving Course in France to get my French Driver's License, one thing stood out to me - it was the epitome of Socialism versus the Republic and the value of the individual. In France, a Fire Truck has the right of way over an Ambulance because the Fire Truck is protection of the masses and an Ambulance is protection of only one individual - this had a profound impact on me - I quickly saw the difference in the two systems and it made me understand the value of what we have here in America. What's good for the party/masses is worth sacrificing any number of individuals for the cause - this is NOT the American way!"

Are Independent Thinkers Mentally Ill?

Do you question authority? Fail to accept conventional wisdom? Lose your temper when you hear a politician make a promise that you know he or she can’t keep?

If so, you may be mentally ill, according to the most recent revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). In this revision, psychiatrists hope to add dozens of new mental disorders. Unfortunately, many of these so-called illnesses target people who merely think or behave differently from the majority population.

A case in point is “oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).” DSM defines ODD as “an ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior toward authority figures.” Symptoms include losing one’s temper, annoying people and being “touchy.” Other “disorders” include antisocial behavior, arrogance, cynicism and narcissism. Sounds like many of my readers!

While diagnosis of ODD “victims” focuses on children, there’s no reason why ODD can’t exist in adults. Indeed, ODD can evolve into “conduct disorder” (CD), which DSM defines as “wherein the rights of others or social norms are violated.”

Uh-oh. So violating “social norms” is now a mental illness as well.

Let’s connect the dots, shall we? There’s a long and sordid history of governments using psychiatry for political repression. In the Soviet Union, thousands of political prisoners were detained in mental hospitals. There they were isolated from friends and family, and many cases, forcibly medicated. Nazi Germany went even further: it murdered over 180,000 psychiatric patients.

Laws in most states allow child protective services agencies to forcibly medicate your children. Indeed, if you fail to administer drugs ordered by a physician or have your children submit to vaccinations, you can be imprisoned.
 

As The Washington Post observed:

“If seven-year-old Mozart tried composing his concertos today, he might be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and medicated into barren normality.”

The conversion of personality differences into psychiatric disorders, and the forced medication of children, is a dangerous trend. It is but a short step to extend these laws to adults who have a pattern of “negativistic, defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior toward authority figures.”

I’d prefer a different approach: institutionalizing the psychiatrists that came up with all these new disorders. Perhaps we could call their condition “overmedication psychosis.” And those of us with ODD, CD, or who simply don’t like the government telling us how to live our lives could breathe a bit easier.
