Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) - From Wikipedia: The term "Bush Derangement Syndrome" is usually applied as a derogatory term within the Blogosphere to imply that an opponent cannot be reasoned with or that complaints lack substance aside from anti-Bush hatred, due to the illogical connection to the charge.
It can only be a derogatory term, because the people suffering from this condition are bathed in hatred and incapable of rational thought.
Case in Point:
Last night, October 17, 2006, Takoma Park, MD campus of Montgomery College. I arrived at the campus in the early evening to attend a seminar related to my profession. I purposely parked my pretty-good-gas-mileage SUV back in to the parking space, because I have multiple conservative-type bumperstickers on the tailgate. I figured most people would walk through the wide and open parking lot rather than along the narrow sidewalk at the edge of the building where parked cars crowded the narrow space - for personal safety reasons if nothing else.
Anyway, I went inside and met old friends and colleagues as we settled in to learn about the latest technology in our field of study. It was an enjoyable and informative evening.
As I walked across the parking lot when the seminar ended, I saw something on my windshield, tucked under the wiper...
"Anti-American stickers?" What was this person talking about?
I went around to the back of my truck, to see if some errant lefty had stuck anti-American stickers on it without my knowledge...
Nope. All was well with my mobile conservative billboard. My "Semper Fi" and US Navy stickers were intact, as was my "9-11" pentagon shaped sticker. My "Gitmo" and NRA Life Member stickers were also untouched.
What then, did this anonymous messenger mean, that I should feel shame for so-called anti-American stickers?
What is anti-American about wanting our country's borders secured and Americans' rights upheld?
Bush Derangement Syndrome has now reached pandemic proportions within the borders of the Democratic People's Republic of Takoma Park, MD.
How else could any person in their right mind come to the conclusion that these stickers are anti-American?
Maybe the anonymous note writer is an elitist football fan who thinks Alabama is a foreign country?
To borrow from Tide fans...
Hey Lefties!
Hey Lefties!
Hey Lefties!
We're gonna beat the Hell Outta you!
(figuratively speaking, of course)
They're not gonna get my vote.
I had two lefties behind me tonight pointing and shaking their heads at my, I Heart Gitmo, on my Jeep. They are in VA also.

From today's edition of the DUmmie FUnnies ravings about Christians.
"I have these people in my family, thank god they are the rare kind, born again Democrats who hate bush,"
You have jusy identified the primary reason I do not indulge in bumper stickers (although No. VA is marginally less loopy than Takoma Park), and are very lucky the Bush Derangement Syndrome victim didn't key your SUV.
Oh, name a syndrome where the DUmmie mouths foam
Where the gloom and the doom dominate
Where tempers are frayed and offenses are laid
And the posts are all driven with hate
Oh, name a disease that has symptoms like these
Where such rage and such anger are shown
Every button you push always ends up with Bush--
It's a classic derangement syndrome!
DUmb, DUmb, and deranged!
Where the fear and the lack of hope stay
Where "Bush" is referred as a four-letter word
And the skies are all cloudy and gray
So if someone you see starts to curse randomly
And their face starts to quiver with stress
They're not having a stroke, they're just Democrat folk--
It's a case of what's called BDS
Bush Derangement Syndrome has no cure that is known
It's a chronic and terminal fate
'Cause the Diebold decree is that Chimpy will be
Re-elected in 2008!
DUmb, DUmb, and deranged!
Where the fear and the lack of hope stay
Where "Bush" is referred as a four-letter word
And the skies are all cloudy and gray
I bet you also feel deep shame that you drive a SUV instead of a deathtrap hybrid that gets 50 miles to the gallon
Come on, admit it. Let your inner moon bat out.

My husband's former roommate and his family live in Takoma Park. We went to visit them in August. They picked us up at the Metro in their Prius and we went to dinner at a local vegetarian restaurant. Of course, this fellow happens to be a trust fund baby who isn't even working right now. And they can't believe my husband married me, a card carrying conservative and famliy breadwinner. We have a lot of laughs when we get together, I can tell you that!
They just can't stand that we have free speech rights, too.
Still scratching my head over that.
It really sets them off.
The only other true Conservative that I know of in Takoma Park is of course, the well known Dr. Raoul Demming of the Takoma Park Demmings of that ilk.
Even my dear brother (he ain't heavy [well, a little] he IS my brother has to live in the more politically sedate Silver Spring.
I live in an outlying community near Annapolis, and am more than a little annoyed at thye assorted vegetables and moonpies that call themselves progressives here.
As Takoma Park is also a "sanctuary city", when the cops ask, "What's that?" I can always claim it's an undocumented worker's luggage.
Hard to believe the twisted minds walking the planet....
Doctor you're at the top of your game - undocumented workers luggage and one way.
tiggles - what can I say?
JV - thanks for the ping
Indeed, that is what is best in life!
I should have guessed that you had a nuclear device stashed somewhere.
