					<description><![CDATA[This is quite surreal. Here is a scientologist, conducting a &#8220;seminar&#8221; in a scientology org, to attract interest in his services of &#8220;keeping people out of the hands of psychiatry.&#8221;  Like Lisa McPherson was kept out of the hands of psychiatry? There are two things about this that boggle the mind: First, every scientologist is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have written a few pieces here about the general inclination of scientologists to vote Republican. Hubbard&#8217;s disdain for government and welfare are important reasons why scientologists tend not to be liberal/Democrats. But the biggest reason has to do with psychiatry. In this, scientologists are single-issue voters and virtually every one of them would never [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am often asked this question, and my answer is usually that while there is no hard and fast rule, scientologists tend to lean Republican because of Hubbard&#8217;s words: He opposed &#8220;big government&#8221; (pretty much ALL government &#8212; it&#8217;s &#8220;group bank&#8221;) He opposed welfare &#8212; that is &#8220;rewarding downstats.&#8221; He opposed taxes. He believed homosexuality [&#8230;]]]></description>

They grab onto &#8220;group insanities&#8221; and toss off a few examples, starting with &#8220;refusal to employ someone or allow them to belong&#8221; &#8212; in the face of scientology&#8217;s disconnection policy?

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; L. Ron Hubbard had a disdain for doctors. He believed the medical profession was in league with psychiatry and drug companies, and they feared dianetics and scientology because it would take away their income stream. If, as he claimed, the vast majority of illness and disability was psychosomatic, then the vast majority of doctors [&#8230;]]]></description>
