In this piece written by Tancredo, he coins the term "Obama Stockholm Syndrome," which a symptom of people "who display a compulsive and irrational need to reaffirm their vote for Obama no matter what happens in the real world." Now, if we stopped right there, we can see that this man has lost some of his marbles. He is going around trying to make up terms to pin on Obama supporters. But there's more. He goes on to say stereotypical Republican refrains about how people who "suffer" from "Obama Stockholm Syndrome" are the "liberal elite", which in his mind refers to anyone who reads the New York Times, or probably more generally, anyone who reads at all.

But the fun doesn't stop there. He then goes on to outline 10 ways you know that you have "Obama Stockholm Syndrome". I've copied a few of the most entertaining ones.

1. You believe the colder winters across Europe and North America over the past 11 years, the cooling of the Pacific Ocean and the increased ice accumulation in the Antarctic are all convincing evidence of global warming.

2. You believe that a committee of United Nations bureaucrats should be given a veto over U.S. economic policies in order to reverse the destruction of the planet's environment by American capitalism.

3. You believe that Obamacare will provide better health care for more Americans at lower cost without rationing because government-run services are always more efficient than services provided by the greedy private sector.

To point 1: First of all, global warming does NOT mean that it warms EVERYWHERE. It simply refers to the idea that we have an accumulation of greenhouse gases that causes temperatures to go out of whack. In some places, it means that it gets warmer, in other places cooler. Secondly, there ISNT ice accumulation in the atarctic, the ice cores data from places like Antarctica proves that climate change is real.

To point 2; Actually, probably this is a good idea. America's policies on carbon emissions are non-existent.

To point 3: Yes, he will provide better health care, and YES rationing is already happening based on income. Oh, and yes, insurance companies are inherently evil because they are held accountable to their share holders who want to see profits. Profits MEANS providing less insurance for individuals. So yes, insurance companies have a vested interest in screwing people.

Tancredo, why must you make everything so black and white? And the truth is, the real conspiracy theorist is yourself. You believe that all those in favor of Obama are liberal elites who want nothing more than to destroy America just because we believe American exceptionalism is synonymous with arrogance.
