In the old days, political paranoia and radical right wing gibberish was blessedly confined to John Birch club meetings and other such sundry occasions. However, today, thanks to the technological advances of the Internet, certified lunatic fringe web sites are out for the whole world to see. So, grab a heavy dose of Thorazine, tighten your straitjacket, and hold on as we humorously highlight web sites dedicated to views that are...straight from the Lunatic Fringe
When looking for certifiably insane political sites, it may help to keep these diagnostic indicators in mind...
  • They ought to be so far out that they make you laugh, cry, or both.
  • They may showcase a idolatry towards inanimate objects, such as guns or money.
  • Claims by political groups that they represent the "mainstream" when in fact they are so far out of the stream that their feet aren't even wet.
  • They should refer to any amount of government greater than anarchy as "socialist"
  • They should lean heavily towards paranoia, conspiracy theories and various permutations thereof. Extra padding on the walls for any mention of UN troops, one-world government, or black helicopters.
  • Excessive Bible-thumping and mis-interpretation of Scripture are always a bonus. An instant trip to the secure ward for anyone who claims God "hates" anyone.
  • You'll find plenty of patients here, ranging from foaming-at-the-mouth nutcases to harmless kooks. Many of the sites here have been reviewed in a humorous manner. I believe that humor is an effective way of dealing with craziness such as is found on some of these sites. I am hilighting these sites because I believe that in order to fight hate, we must first expose it.

    WARNING! Many of these sites contain material that is extremely objectionable. In a very real way you are about to enter a mental institution, and some of the "patients" will disturb you. Please be aware of this when following any of the links to the various fringe sites.

    New Arrivals
    New patients are sent to this ward for evaluation. Visit here to see who has checked in in the past month. After a month in here, patients are transferred to one of the permanent wings of this facility. Most recent arrival 6-18-97.
    Out-Patient Therapy Wing
    Patients here are preparing to re-enter society. They are fairly harmless, though they bear watching.
    In-Patient Therapy Wing
    These patients are kept under lock and key. They are given intensive therapy to hopefully allow them to one day become productive members of society.
    Criminally Insane Wing
    These patients are beyond help. Dangers to themselves and society, they rest securely in their padded cells under maximum security.
