Re: Constitution dismantled, forced psychological testing-Conserative?
I took some time and did a little research into this. Here are my impressions..<br /><br />First the initial site we were pointed to required a lot of patience to sift the sh$t from the shinola.. Clearly a knee jerk lefty OOh I got him now response. <br /><br />The new freedom initiative in my view can be broken down into two issues. The first is the screening for mental illness. One can look at this from the diabolical view (as is witnessed from the article) or can look at it from a positive view. Since I was little, kids are given IQ tests. I would suggest that this is analogous to what is being considered. What is being done with that data now?? My son, over my initial reluctance, has been diagnosed (in conjunction with his teachers) as being mildly ADD. We give him Ritilin when the concentration becomes a problem. During this process I have figured that I am probably ADD as well and have taken some hard knocks in learning to deal with it. Referencing the IQ tests before, I was tested at a 145 when in Kindergarten so intelligence or aptitude was never a problem. This is exactly the type of situation I beleive this is intended to catch. I would never accept a program that mandated the use of medications as a result of this. So far I have not seen that.<br /><br />The second part of this is the supposed linkage to the drug companies. This allegation really sugggests that Bush is sitting around looking for ways to make the drug companies more profitable. I really can't buy that, even if it was a Democrat. While politicians are tremendously self -serving I think this is a stretch.<br /><br />As far as Patriot II is concerned, there was no details, just opinion. The sky is falling stuff. Do I think the current admin is perfect?? No Is he doing what he can to fight terrorism? You bet. I think there are a lot of hurdles, mostly politicians and the press. Bush is not a diabolical man looking to create a dictatorship. You need to look over your hatred to see that.<br /><br />BTW, Clinton isn't a Crooked creep?? I don't care what party he hails from, he was a crooked liar.
