So, lemme get this straight... if they're running around threatening people and talking to God... that's no biggie... but let the mercury drop and we can round 'em up like sheep?

You've gotta love the demented left. They oppose measures like detaining "mentally ill" people who refuse to take their meds... but they're willing to suspend civil liberties to protect them from the weather.

Apparently, it's okay to wander around in a psychotic funk... as long as you won't freeze your tootsies.

What about protecting the rest of us? Why don't our lives matter?

I don't get it.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Madness in the Streets" is a book I really suggest you read. It is a few years old now and would do with an update (1992), however the authors describe the useless ideas of the left perfectly.
