May we please stop stigmatizing mental health care in this country with threads in which DUers

seek to have people with whom they disagree politically declared "mentally ill"?

You're not doing anybody any favors. The threads are as funny as threads about prison rape.

Full disclosure: I have suffered from severe depression my entire life. I guess that makes me mentally ill.

Senator Eagleton's treatment for depression sank his prospects as a vice-presidential candidate in 1972. Ha ha ha. I can't stop laughing when I think about it.

Thank you.

Posts claiming people DUers hate are mentally ill, stupid, racist, misogynist, ______phobic, etc. are DU staples. DUers need to avoid thinking of people different from them as normal, decent, and intelligent human beings.

NO!
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

We don’t stigmatize mental illness we stigmatise stupidity :thatsright:
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Basking in the glow of my white Privilege and toxic masculinity while I water the Begonias with liberal tears!

I will give up my guns when the liberals give up their illegal aliens

We need a Bull Shit tax to make the Democrats go broke!

DU is a hate site.

Skinner's Island of Misfit ****-ups is an insane asylum run by the DNC, specifically to keep the worst of the moonbats as far out of the public limelight as possible.

Every once in a while, they lose track of one of theirs, and incidents like David dePape make their way into the news cycle in spite of everything the DNC propaganda teams can do to to spike it.

Believe me DUmmies, if the DUmp admins could administer thorazine drips to the lot of you via the innerwebz, they'd do it in a heartbeat, and you may rest assured they're working on delivering electro-shock therapy thru your computer keyboards and mouse buttons.

I'm all in favor of bringing back insane asylums but EarlG may not be. I don't think they allow the internet and he has a site to maintain with members.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I didn't realize that we had a mental health care system to be stigmatized.
