Dementia Defined
By Isaiah L. Carter
 
 
 
On September 15, 2005, I witnessed something that I had always known about,
but never really saw firsthand. The only time I had actually seen or heard of
this condition is when a lunatic would call in to some conservative talk show,
or when a representative of a fringe liberal group would appear on a forum
show like Hannity and Colmes or The O?Reilly Factor. This condition was
introduced by Charles Krauthammer, one of the great thinkers of our time.
 
This condition is known as Bush Derangement Syndrome.
 
And yes, it is real.
 
            That night, two women were sitting in the waiting room of my
store, when more of the same stories coming from New Orleans in the wake of
Katrina were on CNN. Out of these two ladies, one of them, a well-dressed,
middle-aged woman, was spouting off about how, in her opinion, everyone was trying to ?
protect Georgie,? referring to the President. She then proceeded to repeat the
same talking points that must have come out that morning, as she beat the
already tired drum that George W. Bush was to blame for everything that went
wrong down in that part of the country.
 
            Getting fed up with hearing this nonsense, I asked her, ?How in
the world did a local matter become a federal one? What about the massive
failures of the local and state governments in this matter? What is this, the next
attempt by you all to get him out of office prematurely?? The only thing that
she could say, with extreme vehemence, was the usual that I have come to
expect out of liberals, especially Black liberals: ?Well, Bush is stupid. He?s an
idiot. I wonder how all those people in New Orleans feel about the President
now!?
 
            As she continued to speak, I noticed her tone of voice. She was
practically screaming, and even her friend, who really had not said anything,
had to tell her that she was being too loud. She then went off about the 2000
elections, how the Supreme Court, as she said, gave the election to the current
President, and how Bill Clinton was the absolute greatest president we ever
had. This was stuff that I have come to expect out of liberals.
 
            When my friend and colleague Bob came in, he began to talk to
these ladies (if that?s a proper term for them). Bob, who is white, was assaulted
by this woman racially by accusing him of trying to protect his ?boy,? the
president, even in the face of evidences given to her by Bob to show the
happenings of New Orleans was purely on the backs of Ray Nagin, Governor Blanko, and
the snake of a senator who tried to get out of town, William Jefferson. When
she went off about how god-like Bill Clinton was in his time in office, Bob
went to explain that he spent 24 years in the Navy, and could tell you about how
terrible Clinton was as a commander-in chief, and surprisingly, even admitted
how vitriolic and angry he was at him, needlessly.
 
            I have come to expect all this out of liberals. Everything, from
the hatred of Bush, the worship of Clinton, to the shunning of truth and
facts, are all hallmarks of the Democratic party. This is what they have become, as
a result of gradually losing 50 years of control, falling more and more out
of touch with the rest of America, and being taught by the Clinton school of
democracy to believe that they (that is, liberals) are the elites of this
country; a small minority who, by right of their educations, current statuses in
life, and their own moral relativism that they are the only ones that are fit to
properly run this country. I?ve come to expect all that. But nothing could
have prepared me for what happened next.
 
            I told this woman that liberals are a defeated enemy, and that
what they thought was slowly becoming irrelevant in this country. I told her
that everything that the Left was trying to do (oh, I forgot to mention? she
cringed every time I called her what she was: a liberal) was failing fast, and
that this latest attempt to get people ginned up on hatred and division was going
to fail like it did in 2004. She jumped out of her chair, and said that she
was going to get me fired, saying she was going to see what I thought after I
got my last paycheck. I left out, but looked back into the room. She then
started dancing in the waiting room, as if she had just won a major sporting event.
She continued to act the fool, trying to find someone to get me fired. She
never did.
 
            Charles Krauthammer, truer words were never spoken than yours,
when explaining what Bush Derangement Syndrome is. This has gone from near
pathological to dementia to full-on psychotic. This is a real disease, folks.
Normal-appearing people (you can?t be liberal and normal) reacting in the most
violent of manners to the policies, presidency, even the very existence of our
current President (I paraphrased the exact quote).
 
            My call-out today goes out to the Black American liberals out
there.
 
            How does it feel, knowing that your government, your
oh-so-precious Democratic society, failed miserably? How does it feel to know that the
liberal utopia that New Orleans was supposed to be (almost 80% Black, people
everywhere on some type of welfare or other government dependency programs) is
buried under water? The very monsters that you created (you know, the ones
chanting ?Help us! Help us!? in front of the Silverdome, right) have been rendered
to nothingness. These people, who were bussed out to the polls when it was
time to put their sorry rear ends back into office for another term, were ignored
by the mayor and governor when Katrina was on her way in.
