Is the United States Federal Government insane?

Question

I think so.

Open your eyes wide and you will see what I see.

This is not an attack, it is a statement of fact.


Your government is without a head; The heart beats without regulation.

All decisions are spiritual ones because spirit is what we are!

Answer 1

We have madmen at the helm, and insane religious nutters still backing them. I won't even go into the whole "spirit" issue...

Answer 2

Once again....I beg to differ. Not only are ALL decisions NOT spiritual, they're the furthest thing from it. Taking for granted that by "spiritual", you mean....well, "spiritual", what the hell does that say about those government decisions?
ALL government decisions are self serving in some way, shape, or form.....that's greed.
ALL government decisions are for the betterment of the rich and powerful......THAT'S greed.
The government, in fact, ONLY has a head......a head that is incapable of thinking rationally. It has NO heart, or the tragic state of some of our wonderful country would have been remedied already.

It's not the spirit that's evil, it's the conscience and subconscience. Man is born to make mistakes.....it's how one atones for those mistakes that makes them good or evil.

Answer 3

I don't see how the insanity metaphor can be applied to the gang of thieves who have stolen the U.S. Government from the American people. Those bastards aren't insane -- they know perfectly well what they're doing. ...making themselves filthy rich, while they undermine the value of our currency and fail to serve the legitimate needs of our citizens. Where are the jobs America needs, so that ordinary citizens can earn a legitimate living?

Don't look now, but the Democrats and Republicans sold us out to corporate interests, so they could export our jobs, while making the rich even richer. We can't even manufacture the goods we require to meet our own needs anymore, because we import too much cheap overseas crap, rather than employ our own citizens in our own factories. It didn't take insanity to undermine the most productive economy the world has ever known -- it took party politics, corporate lobbyists, and organized capitalist greed on an unprecidented scale. If America can't bring itself to vote the Democrats and Republicans out of power, they will surely destroy this country -- exactly as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower predicted. If you consider yourself a patriot and care about America's future, the worst thing you could possibly do is vote for a Democrat or a Republican -- any Democrat or any Republican. Which charismatic candidate happens to get elected is utterly meaningless, when all the politicians are totally controlled by the machinery of their particular party.

The Soviet Union collapsed, not because of a shortage of patriotic citizens, but because the Communist Party completely controlled the Soviet government and cared more about furthering its political agenda than it did about meeting the legitimate needs of the Soviet people. America's two major parties are no different. They care far more about consolidating their own power and increasing the assets of their wealthy supporters than they do about meeting the legitimate needs of the common American citizen. Party politics has the potential to destroy the USA as surely as it has already destroyed the USSR. If we refuse to fix this problem using the ballot box, our children will inevitably have to fix it by squandering their lives in another bloody revolution against illegitimate arbitrary authority.

Answer 4

I think that it is sane but the heads of Government are often working in their personal interest rather than in the coutries interest so their decisions seem illogical when people consider them in the context of what is obviously better for the country.

For example, there is obviously no need to spend 10 times the amount any other country on Earth spends on the military. Logically, if you spend twice as much as any other country that should be more than enough to guarantee your citizens safety so logically there must be some reason other than national security.

There is also no logic to running the biggest balance of payments deficit in history while according to Donald Rumsfeld 2.3 trillion dollars of Pentagon expenditure cannot be traced. Someone must know what happened to that amount.

Answer 5

The government has been hijacked by pseudo-religious extremists. They admit they are antithisworldists; they claim they need more power than any democratically elected president has ever had; they brag about de-regulation--when regulations are the means for individuals to claim their rights in reality. Then they tell us they're in favor of choice--having taken away all our choices by setting up gatekeeper tsars over every field of thought, evaluation and endeavor.

Insanity: the state of condition of unable or unwilling to deal with what is real See also postmodernism

You are correct. The government is insane...and if so, so are those who support its course.

Answer 6

Hello starte it would seem outsiders have gained control of your country, here are a few sayings to also help other people understand what is going on behind the curtain.

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great
publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion
for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if
we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty
of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National autodetermination
practiced in past centuries"--David Rockefeller in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting
in June of 1991

"Fundamental Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their
religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be
part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in." --Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, speaking on radio in 1983.

"The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the
commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States.
The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate
the four centers of power--Political, Monetary, Intellectual, and Ecclesiastical."--U.S. Senator
Barry Goldwater from his 1964 book "No Apologies"

New World Order Plans and comments

"If we do not follow the dictates of our inner moral compass and stand up for human life, then his
lawlessness will threaten the peace and democracy of the emerging new world order we now see, this long
dreamed-of vision we've all worked toward for so long." -- President George Bush (January 1991)

"He [President Nixon] spoke of the talks as a beginning, saying nothing more about the prospects for
future contacts and merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations share an interest in
peace and building 'a new world order.'" -- excerpt from an article in the New York Times (February
1972)

"But it became clear as time went on that in Mr. Bush's mind the New World Order was founded on a
convergence of goals and interests between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, so strong and permanent that
they would work as a team through the U.N. Security Council." -- excerpt from A. M. Rosenthal, in the
New York Times (January 1991)

"... it's Bush's baby, even if he shares its popularization with Gorbachev. Forget the Hitler 'new order'
root; F.D.R. used the phrase earlier." -- William Safire, in the New York Times (February 1991)

"How to Achieve The New World Order" -- title of book excerpt by Henry Kissinger, in Time magazine
(March 1994)

"The Final Act of the Uruguay Round, marking the conclusion of the most ambitious trade negotiation of
our century, will give birth - in Morocco - to the World Trade Organization, the third pillar of the New
World Order, along with the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund." -- part of full-page
advertisement by the government of Morocco in the New York Times (April 1994)

"We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and
money." -- Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., in Foreign Affairs (July/August 1995)

"We believe we are creating the beginning of a new world order coming out of the collapse of the
U.S.-Soviet antagonisms." -- Brent Scowcroft (August 1990), quoted in the Washington Post (May 1991)


On and on...

So americans Do you want to see the US merge with Canada and Mexico into the North American Union? Do you want to be ruled by a world court and government headquartered in the Berlaymont building in Brussels?

Answer 7

it is. it is an obsessive compulsive schizophrenic 7 year old boy on a playground full of toys and other kids. it will do one thing, mean another and still wish for yet another thing to be done! i dont even think its a matter of the Federal Government anymore so much as the Media driven corporate-political subjugation of the unsuspecting and willingly obedient American people. its bad... REAL bad

Answer 8

optimistically California separates quickly. i'm area of the medical Marijuana circulate here and we are damn bored with the DEA (Phony Bastards) taking our rights away. If we wern't broke i could say permit's do it good now yet perchance i'm going to reassess taking action whilst we get OUR bailout seeing simply by fact the government is handing them out like unfastened condoms at deliberate Parenthood.

Answer 9

I have always suspected that people who are compelled to pursue power are a bit mad. Lately, given the bizarre menage-a-trois featuring corporations, churches and the Bush misadministration, the madness has reached an absolute frenzy.

Answer 10

Insanity as a metaphor fails at the organizational level. You can say that it is mis-managed, corrupt, beholden to special interests, ignoring the will of the people, demagogic, secretive, fascistic, and a host of other descriptors, but insanity suggests that there is no responsibility due to mental illness.

The leaders are all too sane.
