As usual he is attacking our President Donald Trump, his favorite political enemy. This time he is trying to foist on his Middleburg neighbors the unjustified and emotionally fabricated fable that Donald Trump is mentally unstable and therefore dangerous. His premise is that an important, responsible medical conference was organized by Yale University in 2017 and attended by a "sizeable and very distinguished group of American psychiatrists" and mental health professionals to discuss the President's mental health. The truth is the conference had nothing to do with Yale University but was only loaned the use of its auditorium because the organizer was a junior professor at Yale's Law School and School of Medicine. The conference lasted all of ninety minutes and had just four speakers who spoke for five minutes each and six audience members who asked a few predictable questions. One does not have to be a research scientist to recognize that nothing scientific was reviewed at the conference. It is also clear that the conference was intended to be a media placeholder for future activist activity. Ironically, the first speaker Dr Charles Dike M.D. soundly criticized those at the conference who wanted the Goldwater Principle eliminated. His firm belief was that no medical professional can make an accurate clinical evaluation without a personal relationship with the patient. Fly-by analysis of media sound bites is not only completely inaccurate but harmful to the mental health profession. My impression of the three other doctor's comments is that they lost that important concept of doctor/patient and its essential clinical relationship and morphed into being political activists using the umbrella of medicine as justification. The conference organizer Dr Bandy Lee M.D., a Yale professor and the lead activist has stridently said about President Trump "We are facing a democide of genocidal proportions because we have handed power to someone who is anti-human in psychology" and "our survival as a species may be at stake". Such wild eyed statements made without professional or scientific clinical proof are not only outlandish and completely irresponsible but call into question Dr Lee's own analytical abilities and mental state. Anthony Wells also failed to tell us that his primary evidence of Donald Trump's mental illness, the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" of which Dr Lee was the editor has the secondary title of "37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President". Today there are approximately 30,000 psychiatrists, 100,000 clinical psychologists and tens of thousands of other mental health professionals practicing in the United States. 37 of them is hardly a scientific sample, considering that none have personally evaluated the President, a known violation of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) ethics standard. I classify Dr Lee and her cohorts, Dr Anthony Wells and his ilk as "Educated Idiots". Educated idiots are far more dangerous than the standard uneducated ones. Uneducated idiots operate on pure emotion but with reasoned and logical explanations can and will modify their views on any number of issues. Educated idiots are just the opposite. They always know they are right; they have a piece of paper from an institution of higher learning giving them standing, title and perceived creditability which can lead to unquenchable righteous behavior. They are passionate, vocal, politically active and many times clearly wrong. That doesn't stop them from charging forward with a flawed premise and usually guarantees that they will never concede what often become their intractable positions. Unanswered half truths and outright lies forwarded by supposedly respected individuals greatly harm our country, its citizens and its future. The famed communists, Marx and Lenin found that "useful idiots" were valuable because they helped advance the cause. Any person who honestly believes that Donald Trump is a real threat to democracy or to civilization or to the world or even possibly the universe is a certified card carrying useful idiot. The real threat to our culture and our way of life however is the liberal left's rapid lurch towards anarchy and socialism and the leadership of the Democrat Party's unwavering support of that movement. Clear thinking citizens watching today's national events unfold must make their beliefs known and become activists also … for the sake of the country we love.
