Phyllis Schlafly needs help
Commentary: No Child Left Unmedicated

Written By: Phyllis Schlafly
Published In: Health Care News
Publication Date: March 1, 2005
Publisher: The Heartland Institute

Big Brother is on the march. A plan to subject all children to mental health screening is underway, and the pharmaceutical firms are gearing up for bigger sales of psychotropic drugs.

Like most liberal, big-spending ideas, this one was slipped into the law under cover of soft semantics. Its genesis was the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (NFCMH), created by President George W. Bush in 2002.

The NFCMH recommends "routine and comprehensive" testing and mental health screening for every child in America, including preschoolers. Bush has instructed 25 federal agencies to develop a plan to implement the commission's recommendations.

The NFCMH proposes utilizing electronic medical records for mental health interrogation of both children and adults, to search for mental illnesses in school and during routine physical exams. The NFCMH also recommends integrating electronic health records and personal health information systems.

7. Democats can't be blamed: Repugs have TOTAL control of both houses.

I just sent this:

Big Brother is indeed on the march, thanks to the Republican party. Ms. Schlafly seems to find it hard to accept that this mental health screening legislation was the brainchild of Republicans, as she references this legislation to "most liberal, big-spending ideas".

Let me remind Ms. Schlafly that there are no checks and balances in either congressional house. The $7,726,838,587,832.87 deficit was caused by the big-spending of the Republicans, who are in total control. This mental health screening legislation is the idea of the Republicans, friends of the corporate world.

When the Republicans get rid of the filibuster, which is the only checks & balances the Democrats have left to stop the madness, look out. There's nothing the Republicans won't do to help out their corporate friends at the expense of the People in the 98% tax bracket.

3. Mrs. Schlafly doesn't care
Mrs. Schlafly is a grandstanding bitch who needs to be punished with what she wants for the rest of us, a life of powerless obscurity, chained to the kitchen stove.

8. This is what somebody needs to say to her:
"Who the hell do you think you are, woman, lecturing men on what to do? Get back to the kitchen, take your shoes off, and SHUT UP."

Using her own sick beliefs to take her down.

10. these people are as programmed as Nazis. It simply does not compute
that their Noble and God-Sent Fuhrer could EVER support such an idea.

Or even originate it.

Thus, it MUST be the result of the Jews, errr...the Liberals.

(sometimes I get my Totalitarian iterations mixed up)
