Sound Familiar?

When you hear any of the latest blather from almost anybody on DumFux News or most politicians (particularly those of a certain "conservative" bent), try to keep this in mind:

Ganser Syndrome:

...a rare dissociative disorder previously classified as a factitious disorder. It is characterized by nonsensical or wrong answers to questions or doing things incorrectly, other dissociative symptoms such as fugue, amnesia or conversion disorder, often with visual pseudohallucinations and a decreased state of consciousness. It is also sometimes called nonsense syndrome, balderdash syndrome, syndrome of approximate answers, pseudodementia, hysterical pseudodementia or prison psychosis. This last name, prison psychosis, is sometimes used because the syndrome occurs most frequently in prison inmates, where it may represent an attempt to gain leniency from prison or court officials.

"Death Panels"
"the social safety net is bankrupting the nation"
"Obama is a Kenyan usurper"
"FEMA camps"
"school vouchers will strengthen public education"
"the states are broke because they pay teachers too much"
"this is a Christian nation"
"thousands of black soldiers fought on the side of the Confederacy"

I keep believing everybody really has the best interests of the USA at heart (in spite of how some of the things I yell about sound otherwise), but I wish some of these clowns would try just a little harder to meet me somewhere closer to reasonable.
