(19,497 posts)My husband, while admittedly NOT a psychiatric expert is a former combat medic. Needless to say a portion of his training involves looking for people who might exhibit "questionable behaviors." I used to think Ron Paul used to just spout grandpa-isms, you know those relics of bygone eras of illiberal racial views. No, my husband convinced me Ron Paul trucks is so many wild conspiracy theories about money, 9/11, plagues, etc. that are so easily refutable that he is borderline pathological, if not over the line. Ron Paul would be a danger to all Americans, left, right and center. He would impose the troofer equivalent of the Salem witch hunts.
(I hear he also fears non-existent "psyop" campaigns to subvert American political will. Make of that whatever you will.)
But your efforts to dodge the issue at hand are duly noted. You might as well accuse me of having a vagina -- just like Hitler's girlfriend! It betrays the poverty of your arguments.
If saying parents do and should have more power than some school lunch inspector makes me a heretic, then I happily plead guilty. Yes, I embrace the idea that people are free to live their lives as they see fit unless there is sufficient grounds to suspect they will pose a danger to themselves or others. I admit it. I confess it. I will proselytize this at every opportunity. I will celebrate it. This is my god and She is beautiful, gentle and all-embracing.
So what crime would you convict me of committing?
Let me repeat that, just so the Inquisitors understand --
