Bush Derangement Syndrome
By Morgan Orlins
There's a curious phenomenon that's taken root since the election of George W. Bush. It's quite appropriately called Bush Derangement Syndrome, or BDS. It resembles a mental illness due to the way it affects those afflicted and while it's origins are traceable, it's still a strange problem.
What caused the original hatred of George W. Bush? The aftermath of the 2000 election. In spite of the fact that the major networks suppressed the vote in Florida's heavily Republican panhandle by calling the state early for Gore, BUSH WON FLORIDA BY 350-800 VOTES, no matter how you look at it. Every major newspaper that did a recount came to the same conclusion.
I attended a rally for the newly inaugurated President Bush on Jacksonville's west side MONTHS before 9-11-2001 and was struck by the number of Dems along the route waving the most hateful and disrespectful signs I'd ever seen. I attempted to engage them in conversation to figure out what was going on, but was rebuffed every time with "HE STOLE THE ELECTION!" or some variation on that theme. A quick look into their eyes and at the spittle that shot when the motorcade passed told me that the truth didn't matter to them at all!
The new additions to Bush Derangement are the anti-war, peace, and slavery-before-war crowd. To be sure, they never liked him to begin with because they're partisan Democrats. Once Bush enforced UN sanctions on Saddam and the "Clinton Doctrine" of regime change in Iraq and resumed hostilities it literally drove the leftist peaceniks to insanity!
So there you have it. The 2000 election, and the Iraq War, have caused a seething hatred--the likes of which many of us have never witnessed. To us rational Conservatives, it makes no sense whatsoever that a policy difference would cause such a deep and ugly hatred. Especially when you consider the fact that the President is such a decent and personable guy.
To those leftists afflicted with BDS, the personal and the political are the same thing. Now President Bush has done some things very well AND dropped the ball on a few other issues as far I'm concerned. On those issues where he has angered Conservatives we've let him hear about it, and he doesn't always listen. That's the nature of politics and it's what intellectually honest people do.
When my grandchildren ask me about President George W. Bush hopefully I'll be able to give them a somewhat balanced view. For those of you blinded by your hatred of the President, what will you tell your grandchildren? "Bush lied, kids died!"?
Is that the best you can do? G-d save this great Republic from that idiocy!

It's such an honor to be front and center at the DUd'rat review!
This Bush Derangement has always struck me as an odd affliction. They HATE the President with a purple passion and he's such a down-to-earth decent guy.

Let's see. Bush at 24% approval last week. BDS must be very, very contagious.
Dem Congress's was LESS THAN HALF THAT--maybe you all had better focus on THAT... LOL!
Senor protest,
Since the opinion polls say it's so, it must be, right? LOL! You lefties are SO easy to predict. Doers that also mean that Pelosi's Dems are as bad as their 11% polls? Jeez you guys are simpletons.

I've seen a few mobs in my lifetime. I also remember the mobs containing teenagers when I was one.
It only took one person to get a mob stirred up. One person to fan the flames of getting them to do something terrible. One person with a sinister motive who knew/knows how to turn a group of people into a mob.
Decades ago both socialists and communists vowed to take down America. Like tigers laying wait in tall grass for an antelope, patients has proven to be very valuable. And liberals and just ignorant and/or stupid people are willing dupes for their purpose. They become "tools" digging theirs, and others grave.
All societies are susceptible to what has been occurring in the US for decades. And between the dupes and the ignorant masses, they will win. And their largest gain will be in 2008 when Hillary becomes President.
Simply put, we're doomed. One might be able to fight city hall, but not the masses. There are just too many of them, and they vote!
Thanks for this article, Morgan. You are a very good writer and easy to read.
The BDS is always in full-blossom on DU. On really bad days they talk about crying, being depressed, and having to make an appointment with their mental therapist.
We are certainly going to have to satay strong, Sonny. And we may need another George Washington to come out, eventually.
And he WILL--don't you worry about it. I have faith in REAL Americans!
verityink, we need a leader as we've never seen. This is 2007, not 230 years ago.
Everything is changed. Look at the numbers of middle class since then, vs the numbers of poor since then, The poor who are really parasites because they don't want to work.
Look at the strengths of our enemies within, and their tactics.
Here's a shocker of what and who we are up against. Go to : http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/
Click on "Visual Maps"
Then click on "Launch Visual Maps" Wait a minute or two for it to come up.
Then click on any one of the "heads" or $ sign of any org. and click on it twice. What ever one you click on will pull itself away from the rest, but still connecting to many via a string. That string represents their affiliation to it.
You will be SCHOCKED!
Conservative have nothing like that. They represent an infestation of a disease hat only attacks Americans and conservatives
We are Doomed!
Unless of course, several hundreds of was decide to create our own version of "The Star Chamber." Remember that move from about 10-15 years ago.
I have seen David's 'string map'--and it IS a wonder... I'm just trying to stay positive and get determined to see it through. I'M not giving in to the bastards.
My point is this.
We cannot ignore that people in high places want to destroy America.....Fact!
That sting brings reality as a hard slap on our face..............Fact.
Like dozens of snakes who never sleep, they infiltrate and manipulate 7/24 as we seep and work......FactI
They have been gaining ground since the 60s.....Fact
So do we take the Democrat philsohphy and just talk to them while they're cutting out legs.
Then have them postpone further meetings so while away, they continue in their covert destruction while we're watching TV?
In add due respect, like running a company, staying positive and determined gets you squat. A plan and an implemented action is what determines results.
I say we start with a secret club of members about to die but wanting to do something positive before they go. They have nothing to loose. They can even protect themselves from civil suits by using a foundation - no assets in their own names.
Treasonous enemies within must be located and terminated. It's that simple. I'm ready.
As I extend my rant, women terminate abortions. Living people, because they represent an inconvenience to them. Their birth would radically change their lives to it's detriment. So they are willing, and have accomplices to help them perpetuate the murder.
I would be doing no different then they. Eliminate those who pose a threat to mine and others lives - a process already established as being justified by a substantial segment of the public.
I am not a military person, but as they kill their enemies during a war, so should I during the war on our turf. If I’m to die, what better way than to take some of those enemies with me. Can you think of a more patriotic act than that?
Thank YOU Chomp! You're far too nice.
Sonny thanks for the heads up about Discoverthenetworks. I'm going to check that out.

Sonny-And a reading of history shows that nations and empires usually only have a 200-250 year run. We are at 231 years, the degeneracy is too deeply imbedded.
I was talking with a 14 yr. old boy I know this weekend, his middle school is overrun with addicts! From Cigarettes to alcohol to drugs...there are children who will sniff table salt and other substances to get money to by coke!
This young man is one of the VERY FEW who refuses to give in, his girlfriend is one of the few that refuses to have sex, they are besieged!
There are fights all the time over some chumps who bring oregano into school and sell it as weed...there are fights because of alcohol and drugs...the families are so dysfunctional, it's appalling!
One boy this young man knows, was introduced to sex by his older sister!!!!!!
Society is SICK! And we are rightly under judgment! Job 39(I believe) speaks of G*D having to judge the nations in the here and now, because they will not exist in Eternity!
THIS PRESIDENT HAS SOLD ISRAEL OUT FOR SAUDI MONEY! And we will pay the price as a nation! Genesis 12:1-3 has not been abrogated, we are already under judgment! The winds and storms go where HE tells them too...and la nina came out of nowhere...
I do not have BDS, I voted twice for bush because the alternative was worse! We get the leadership we deserve, and I'm afraid that hillary is payback for the dhimmi's putting out 2 loser candidates!
We have and will get what we have so richly earned!
