Snarky Anger Makes Me Laugh


I blogged about my predictions regarding tonight's debate and posted it this morning. I mentioned how Newt has a large ego and Mitt has attacked him and vice versa. This is more than my opinion, it's fact and it's historically true, and it's part of the campaign process that seems to have morphed into a verbal confrontation amongst candidates. It happens on both sides and for me, it's unfortunate as I would rather see an intellectual exchange based on policies, rather than ad hominem attacks based on truths, half-truths, and lies.

But someone named "Anonymous" attacked me for "playing psychoanalyst" as I mentioned that I played one, in jest, when, in fact, I worked for over 20 years as a psychotherapist, using cognitive-behavioral techiques. I specializing in depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, particularly Panic Disorder, with and without Agoraphobia, as well as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Social Anxiety. I have since retired from this field, not to manage a McDonald's as my attacker suggested, but to write and do photography. I have done both successfully like, I imagine, Anonymous has attacked others successfully. How sad AnonyMouse has to do this to make herself or himself happy--I'm not sure of the gender, but while the word usage sounded masculine, the method of attack sounded feminine-feline.

I briefly touched upon Ron Paul, who I believe would lead America down a self-destructive path with his foreign hands-off-Iran-Can-Build-Whatever-It-Wants policy, and his anti-Zionist sentiments. I suspect Anonymous is a Ron Paul fan and the word 'fan' comes from 'fanatic,' so you know where I'm coming from. If he is not a Ron Paul fan, then I have no doubts he's a liberal-socialist-Marxist-Obama-tingler.

Anyway, I love making people like AnonyMouse rant and rave because they think they matter in the final analysis. But the truth is, in the final analysis, nobody who rants and attacks others for their beliefs from a safe anonymous position, has done anything to build America. In fact, they would do what they could to change America (sounds a little like the O-Man?), but fortunately, they are impotent to change anything, including their clothing without their mommy's help. 

American core values should never change, which is why we should respect the Constitution--and why Ron Paul is half right, because he does, in his own funny way. But it was interesting, this attack on me, saying that I should go back to my job managing a McDonald's, as if this mouse who roared thinks she could manage anything at all. I apologize to all restaurant managers, and all of us who actually work for a living. 

For you, Anonymous
The only thing she was able to manage, was to get me to laugh at her feeble attempt of insult and pseudointellectual banter, disguised as criticism. I honestly feel sorry for her, or him, or whatever. Closet attackers have no courage, which is why they do nothing to build the nation, only try to tear it down along with those who love it.
