They obviously don’t love their pets. People who love their pets don’t let them go out without masking up.
Sheeple gonna Sheep…and those dogs identify as German Shepard’s, too.
I can barely hide my contempt when I look at these people in person. I’m probably failing to hide my contempt, right?
Loathe comes to mind when I see people of their ilk.
Fleabo- There are humans who think and there are humans who are on continuous autopilot. Dez is the autopilot variety which need a guide dog so they don’t wander off and get lost. 🙂
Back in the bad old days we provided housing and care for them 24/7. Then Ronny Rayguns needed bread for his bullets and shut down the asylums. Now look at what he wrought.
Court ordered, not Reagan’s initiative.

That is one really fine piece of double talking obfuscation.
In 1981, when both parties in Congress agreed to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, President Reagan signed that into law. One of it many provisions was to eliminate federal funding for community services and thereby transfer funding back to individual funding or state-funded efforts. Had Reagan even been aware of that part of the Act, he would have immediately realized the Act was negating the disastrous effects of the LPS he experienced as governor of California.
In other words, the State needs more funding control over mental health facilities, whether local, community, or state. Serious cases could still be funded through Medicaid, creating a virtual federal funding pool of money. This was formalized in the Mental Health Planning Act of 1986.
In effect, bipartisan policies recommended that the Federal government transfer government funding of community mental health facilities back to the states. State-funded facilities as well as privately-funded facilities were not affected by that policy. Reagan signed the bill into law as part of an overall spending cut package. As he would have known, complete state funding of facilities resulted in terrible mental healthcare, but state governments had an obligation to provide for this. However, in 1986, he also signed into a law another bipartisan solution to have Medicaid assist with funding. The laws closed not a single facility.
Ergo, to the liberals, REAGAN CLOSED THE MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES. The fact that states closed some facilities and let staff go at others due to their own budget issues is unimportant because, of course, liberals hated Reagan. And still do.
Good post. 😉
For some reason I couldn’t post the NYT (Slimes) link that doesn’t support the oft times assertion that Reagan ‘did it.’

Just remembered (Getting old), that I was a “cottage parent” from 79-81, first at the Lurleen B. Wallace Developmental Center and then at the North Alabama Regional Hospital in Decatur, Al. Both facilities are now long gone. Tough work as direct care staff at the severely/profoundly disabled facility, then at the chronic mental illness facility. It really motivated me to work toward graduating from college (Self funding at that time was quite doable). Alabama always is getting smeared as backward. Both facilities were very clean (Part of my job) and well maintained.
“I stuck my head out of the tent. The quaniit is following us, I said. And indeed it was. We lay on our sleeping bags three across, our heads under the blue part of the tent – darkened to keep the sun out of our eyes. While Jens & Niels talked quietly, I thought about how Inuit communalism was an old necessity that had arisen from long & frequent bouts of famine. Now these men choose to be subsistence hunters in a modern world larded with Danish goods, where, in the event of a bad hunting season, the helicopter would bring food & supplies. Which in no way trivialized their pursuit; it simply moderated the consequences of failure.
Throughout the community meat was still shared as it had always been, but the oppressive edge of starvation & the rigorous societal rules that go with subsistence hunting had been relaxed. Part of Jens’s work as a representative of all the hunters in the north was to keep those rules from being completely erased. Traditional hunting was the key: if dogs were traded in for snowmobiles, as they had been in Canada, dependencies shifted from oneself to paper money & the industries that produced machines & petroleum. “You can’t get a can of gas with a harpoon,” Niels said. And if there were no dogs to feed, there was no reason to hunt every day. Once the link to the world of animals was cut, the thread pulled loose & the moral compass began to bend, who knew which way?” ~ This Cold Heaven: Seven Seasons in Greenland, Gretel Ehrlich
Doggos exercising their demons.
I’m a cat person and love their independence and unique characters. Did you know that cats only meow to humans? They don’t meow to each other when body language is used. And they do effectively manage us. Not sure about dogs; they appear too subservient for me; they make me feel like a ‘master’ which is not a pleasant feeling for me.
“If you’ve ever wondered who’s in control, you or your cat, a new study points to the obvious. It’s your cat. Household cats exercise this control with a certain type of urgent-sounding, high-pitched meow, according to the findings. This meow is actually a purr mixed with a high-pitched cry. While people usually think of cat purring as a sign of happiness, some cats make this purr-cry sound when they want to be fed. The study showed that humans find these mixed calls annoying and difficult to ignore.”

Cats make the best hats.
Rabbits are better.
Took the fam out for ice cream Monday afternoon. Saw a family of four, all masked up and outside. Kids had to be no older than 10 years old. I looked at these people as mentally ill and deranged. They had that look of moron liberal all over them.
