Only the Sane Love Susana

One of the most solid and fubsy accomplishments of our dear Republican governor Susana Martinez—the systematic destruction of social services, especially mental health services, is a sterling monument to the wider fulfillment of human potential and ethical greatness of heart, the fulfillment of holy prophecy to shrink government, and the fulfillment of  divine law that each and every human should be identity chipped and examined as a potential profit center. Faulty chip sets must be eliminated. Anyone who hints “abnormal” must be destroyed.

 On a more upbeat note—Wasn’t it cool when that degenerate, James Boyd, who doesn’t deserve mental health assistance got bean bagged and shot and killed and everything by the police?  Wasn’t that fun?

He was a homeless individual, I am told. He was camped illegally in the Sandia foothills near homes that have mortgages, I’m told, homes occupied by taxpayers, not leaches sucking from the social welfare trough, not subhuman meat.  

I’m glad to report from my little objective perch overlooking Susanalandia that a dead James Boyd has nothing whatsoever to do with the exciting news that in the four months following  Susana’s demolition job on the state health dept., New Mexico got to experience a fantastic 23 and sometimes even a 60 percent cut to mental health patients! Isn’t that great news?

We are mentally fit around here.  Think what has happened since that glorious four months just after Susana unleashed her small government miracle until the very present. Won’t that be something when we find out. I’m so excited about reducing government spending and bringing in some of our governor’s private industry friends to run things right for a change, and I’m  overjoyed to the point of sheer fugue over our ever-increasing sanity!
