This study conclusively demonstrates that unfounded fear of government is a recognizable mental illness, closely related to paranoid schizophrenia. Anti-Government Phobia (AGP) differs from most mental illnesses, however, in that it is highly infectious and has an acute onset. Symptoms include extreme suspiciousness, conspiracy-mongering, delusional thought patterns, staunch "us against them" mentality, withdrawal from reality, and often religious fanaticism. Having the patient committed to a qualified mental health institution is the best option for family and loved ones. For this reason, all psychiatrists and family physicians should be provided with educational materials which will help them recognize the various symptoms...

The Professor says

I think I caught this disease when I started reading Patrick.Net.

Does anyone have any links that can cure me?

Let's talk about overwhelmingly powerful governments that didn't abuse their power...

The "study" is a satire piece.

Note the author's name.

Look who sponsored the study. Need I say more?

The writer wishes to thank the following individuals and organizations for contributing their expertise to this report: Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Rick Ross of the Cult Awareness Network (CAN), the United States Justice Department (USJD), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF). This study was funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Compare "Credulous Personality Disorder (formerly Pseudoneurotic Gullibility):"

"The lifetime prevalence of Credulous Personality Disorder has been reported to be between 0.1% and 99.9% in the general population, but it is not known whether such reports can be trusted since there is evidence to suggest that a large number of these studies were performed by researchers suffering from the disorder. At present, it seems safe to say that the disorder is very common in the general population (perhaps approaching 100%). The severity of the symptoms, however, differ dramatically across individuals. It seems that the disorder is very common in both in-patient psychiatric settings and out-patient mental-health clinics, but it rarely represents the presenting disorder. Many clinicians also suffer from Credulous Personality Disorder, which makes diagnosis and treatment of the disorder very difficult. These clinicians not only tend to believe the overly credulous pronouncements of their clients, they also are much more likely to believe that untested or falsified treatment modalities actually work.... In almost all cases, Credulous Personality Disorder has a chronic course. Few remissions of symptoms have been observed in people who are fully or partially conscious. In the few cases of recovery that have been reported, there is reason to suspect that the reporting clinicians were suffering from the disorder and, thus, the accuracy of their reports can be questioned."

Presumably this diagnosis would apply to partisans who believe their preferred politicians' promises that another government program will solve everything.

Crazy like a Fox, the most widely watched and lucrative cable "news" network.

Hilarious.

A real Internet radio badass would have covered the posse comitatus and ended the broadcast screaming, "Die, motherfucker, fucking die!" and ripping apart an Obama cut out with automatic weapons fire.

Ah, the Amerika the founding fathers envisioned!

This guy is a business man.

Jones might be a nutjob, but his facts are still better than your buddy Piers Morgan or Rush Limbaugh. Still haven't seen you address where he has been factually incorrect.

They are all just savvy businessmen, targeting a specific audience. That he is being discussed here there and everywhere is evidence of his acumen.

Hilarious.

The only thing that is sane or curious about video is how many people ONLY see a crazy person screaming, instead of recognizing the many valid points given in his monologue.

This is a sad observation of most people's listening skills today?

This study...

That's as far as I can get in any article that talks about a "Study".
A study has become to mean a Liberal assertion.
I don't even hold them in the same esteem, I held the "Mayan Apocalypse" fear mongering, that the Liberal media got people who play Scientist on TV to tell the world was going to rip apart back in December.
