Liberals voted to get rid of funny farms(which housed the criminally insane) because even the criminally insane have their "rights" too. Then the liberal set them loose on the street to live as wild animals. Actually.

Not true. I have kids I take to all the parks in my area. Public parks are like Disneyland to homeless. Every single last one of them is crazier than the Joker.Here is a nice thing for you to ponder. According to the FBI, in 1963 only 9% were cold cases for murder, in 2007 over 39% were cold cases. Despite our technology and DNA.You liberals are to blame because criminals and the criminally insane are our friends and,should not get caught and sent to jail. My proof is how you wanted Tookie, who was on tape watching the guy he robbed bleed to death while eating a sandwich, let go because he found Jesus. Yet you will come on here flaming and trolling the religious. My suggestion to anyone on this forum who's religious right, say you killed a guy and were let out because you found Jesus. The liberals in this forum will line up to suck your cock dry

What kind of satin we talking about? If it's silk satin, I have to agree. Otherwise that's just propaganda talk.

In the parks running through playgrounds shouting obscenities at children, bathing nude in the duck ponds, setting fires to stay warm that go out of control, not taking their medication and not getting any better but sicker and sicker.

It is true, they have been talking about it on cnn and msnbc, Ron Paul won Iowa and Minesota officially now.. There is even more to come..Now that delegates counts are actually coming in. Like I said it isn't over yet. Ron Paul can still win this entire thing. Longer shots have won before. Ron Paul campaign has been saying this would happen all along.

At the urging of several liberals and finally JFK signed it as law. You can't possibly blame this on on the dumb shit who believed we were taken over by ET!

We need Romney to say something so far retarded, he just can't be accepted by the thoughtful. ( As if he hasn't already ) His lifestyle and Political record should be enough to expose this clown.This thread is resurrecting boners everywhere.

I went on the Internet, and I found this. cn

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
“In 1967, Gov. Ronald Reagan signed the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS), which went into effect in 1969 and quickly became a national model. Among other things, it prohibited forced medication or extended hospital stays without a judicial hearing.

A mental patient could be held for 72 hours only if he or she engaged in an act of serious violence or demonstrated a likelihood of suicide or an inability to provide their own food, shelter or clothing due to mental illness. But 72 hours was rarely enough time to stabilize someone with medication. Only in extreme cases could someone be held another two weeks for evaluation and treatment.

As a practical matter, involuntary commitment was no longer a plausible option.

The LPS Act emptied out the state's mental hospitals but resulted in an explosion of homelessness. Legislators never provided enough money for community-based programs to provide treatment and shelter. Even the most modest programs encountered local resistance.

'No neighborhood wanted the mentally ill living among them,' recalled former state Sen. Tom Bates.

Lanterman later expressed regret at the way the law was carried out. 'I wanted the law to help the mentally ill,' he said. 'I never meant for it to prevent those who need care from receiving it.'

But that's exactly what happened for three decades."

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, It's a duck. Reagan closed the mental hospitals.
