NC Sez: I couldn’t concur enough! When a lib doesn’t like what you believe in they call you names like small school children bullying others on the play ground. Most libs can’t have a discussion based on reason and logic and then shake hands after wards saying, “We’ll have to agree to disagree,” No they have to call you vile names instead. That’s all they have in their arsenal of conversation! When libs don’t like who you support for political office they steal your signs. When libs don’t like your speech they shut down your radio show, and and throw your flag in the bushes! Yep, sounds like small, bratty kids to me!
Eminent doctor makes case leftist ideology is a mental disorder
WASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually amental disorder.
“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,” says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.” ”Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”
While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to “the vast right-wing conspiracy.”
For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.
Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton can only be understood as a psychological disorder.
“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do,” he says. “A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.”
Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
- creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
- satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
- augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
- rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
“The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind,” he says. “When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”

Dr. Michael Weiner, the host of the popular A.M. radio show, and leader of the Savage Nation, correctly summed it up – liberals are suffering from a mental disorder.

I know. Savage was the first to write on this issue and he has been validated a few times now with other books! Thanks, Johnny Peepers

Given the Libs in my family and my circle of friends and co-workers, I must agree that they’re beyond wacko. For example, they’re still obsessed with trashing Sarah Palin, even though all of the mean-spirited rumors have been debunked. Enough, already!

Welcome Pasadena! Hopefully you were able to tune into tonight’s show regarding Conservatives and the great RINO hunt. If you weren’t able to make it you can download it here:

Make sure you click the download button. In any event, what your relatives are experiencing right now is Palin Deranged Syndrome or PDS. I think if they go to a shrink he can prescribe drugs for it. The drugs are highly addictive, and will keep them busy with needing to hunt for more drugs rather than more insults against Palin. You might want to suggest that to them next time you can handle being in the same room with them!

You can’t have an honest discussion with these people because they don’t have a valid argument for their views. Therefore their only comeback is the labeling of the other side.

I’ve found that most liberals are very intolerant of hearing dissenting views. I know of two exceptions in my own life. That’s it! Two! The rest were fascistic, really.

I should add that those two liberals are in their 60s and beyond — and married to conservatives.
