Dot wrote:The Instapundit is exactly right about this. It has to do with an unreasoning hatred of Bush, or as Charles Krauthammer put it in his definition of Bush Derangement Syndrome:


"the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency -- nay -- the very existence of George W. Bush."

What is going on here--I mean, besides the usual opportunist agenda of the Leftist/Socialist/Communist remnants of the last century? I have discussed this issue several times in this blog, but the dynamics bear repeating because the lies keep getting repeated; and so the hysteria continues.

The psychology of some of the Bush Haters is pretty cut and dried. They hate Bush because he stands between them and the implementation of their collectivist "utopian" vision. I have no time to waste on them, except to note that their intentions are deliberately and decidedly malevolent toward this country. They want it to fail at anything and everything it does and they openly cheer for the barbarians at the gate

As a psychiatrist I work with patients who use maladaptive psychological defenses all the time. The goal of treatment is to help them develop insight and self awareness and begin to take responsibility for their own lives and actions; and to face reality--no matter how painful or unpleasant--not to close their eyes and hope and wish it will go away.

In other words, to act like mature adults and deal with it.

As long as they focus all their energy on hating Bush and act like the whiny petulant and angry child, who expects daddy to instantaneously make everything better-- or else they won't like it; then they don't ever have to act like mature adults and cope with reality in a mature fashion. It is soooo much easier to blame everything on daddy.

UPDATE: Of course, they could also just be Stuck on Stupid

Almost every negative we are experiencing today came directly from Bush.  You are a pathetic loser, supporting a war criminal, draft dodger, and imploder of the economy.  I am mystified as to how the right wing justifies the actions of Bush...a president who was never elected.  I am saddened to see that there are so many people that can overlook his actions because...he wore the "R" label.  It's not that some people on the right didn't speak out against his warmongering at the time; but now it's as if we have to ignore all that, because as soon as Obama was elected, he was completely opposed by the GOP, and, with a few exceptions, almost everyone who identifies with the GOP ignored the fact that Bush was persona non grata within HIS OWN PARTY after his monumental failures.  January 20, 2009...turn the page.  And there are some people on this forum who will never acknowledge Bush's obvious failures...or successes, depending of course on what his agenda was...or those around him...and, again, of course, certain people here are being paid to spout right wing propaganda...just like Goebbels...except a tad more transparent.  Pathetic.
