And what happens when such a personality is appointed to the Cabinet or elected Governor or Member of Congress? They get their way against the better judgment of the people is what happens. Their obnoxious demeanor and terribly misguided drive and abuses of powers result in Tea Parties and America herself objecting. Many writers have observed that such personalities hunger for Power. No question anymore, is there?

But where does that hunger come from? The same place as the minions who support them and who are, themselves, an anti-liberty personality. And now, some of those personalities are actually accusing our patriotism and resisting their abuse of powers as terrorism: See Internet Search Tem Homeland Security On Guard For ‘right-wing extremists’.

Yes, you heard me write: a report from the United States Government warning law enforcement agencies of a rise of patriotism as terrorist. Now things are really getting scary. How do you like being mischaracterized by the anti-liberty personality for standing up to bigger government? For asking questions? For objecting to political solutions you know are wrong?

Talk about divisive. Talk about polarizing. Talk about servants turning on their sovereign.

Of course, the bulletin betrays what the impaired really think of constituents, and that police are their political butlers. The police said they are not by returning the bulletin with no action to be taken, that the impaired blundered when it sent this bulletin, forgetting that many in law enforcement might deem this an inappropriate use of assets.

It’s all about symbols for the anti-liberty personality and reactions to those symbols. Old wounds can develop with some and fester into adulthood. In the early days of Psychoanalysis coming to America, there were hundreds of jokes in the movies. Bugs Bunny made jokes referring to psychology. The Three Stooges made remarks that "Maybe his mother was scared by a Pawnbroker!! Nyuk, Nyuck!" Boys Town referred to how boys without fathers become hoodlums. Shakespeare wrote about projection. Even the Ancients understood basic concepts of trauma, motivation, and perception long before Sigmund Freud and daughter Anna Freud articulated defense mechanisms.

Today, when old wounds meet political clout, we have an out of control government who seeks power because it cannot trust others and reacts adversely to symbols we cherish. Therein is the paranoia of which they accuse right-wing constituents. If power itself, suspicion of constituents, and control are all defense mechanisms due to older wounds, then projection joins them in mistrusting their own sovereigns, even acting it all out in abusive defamation in an official report to the nation’s law enforcement, rejected as inappropriate use of assets.

What a mess.

Independence is frightening for some who would prefer to be carried by their peers over carrying their own burdens in mature, adult independence. Officials dislike independence because it proves how unneeded they are, and being needed is the prime motivation of officials.

What does psychoanalysis have to do with Gun Rights?

It’s all about symbols in a symbol-rich society. In America, the gun is a symbol of Independence, the reasonable dignity of independence from the very servants we hire. The family is a symbol of heritage and liberty, privacy and warmth. Who has worked over the last three decades to destroy the family? Who has worked to ridicule values we cherish as safeguards of the nation? Why? There are dozens and dozens of symbols and patriotic icons under attack from a movement that hates America for the silliest of reasons, old wounds that have little if anything to do with her. It is what I have called the anger from another time.

Do you realize that is happening?? We are now at the mercy of our servants, and they turnon us, weaponizing and whistling up their media to ridicule the very people they work for all for one reason: they do not want us to be in charge. But, we are in charge, and that’s what sticks in their craw, hence the ridicule to muster others to turn on America.

Tea Parties all over the country today are not about taxation as these lap-dog media say, they are about an overall greater Independence from our own servants on all levels. Tens of millions want to get out from under bigger government, and are summoning due process to do it. Our servants, of course, are abusing due process by instructing their law enforcement to believe the worst about us, we who are the sovereign in this nation. Can you imagine police officers who are fooled into thinking that we are the enemy of the United States? How many innocent persons will be at the mercy of police who really believe we’re against our government?

Naturally, liberty purists are not against government – we summon government to its duty as a public servant of the sovereign. That’s us. It’s good to see that some law enforcement can see through the lies and how they came a little too close to being tricked and used. They reportedly returned the defamatory materials and knew better than the feds who printed them. Are military and law enforcement beginning to ask why the servant would oppose the sovereign so?

This betrayal and ridicule is not that surprising for the so-called gun nuts, the food and preparedness nuts, the independence nuts, the constitution nuts and all the other so-called eccentrics who only want to be left alone to fulfill their social contract obligations and not be abused for their love of independence from our servants. It’s a sentiment Americans are sharing by the tens of millions now and what we are all about: independence from the horribly misguided foibles of our own public servants who bring their excess baggage to office. This lust for power is a character defect that should never come into contact with political clout.

What it has to do with guns is that gun control does not seek safer streets, it seeks to break the spirit of independence, the very idea that people want to be free from the illness and abuses of our most impaired of public servants, the anti-liberty personality.
