The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness by Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr. and M.D. (Oct 30, 2006)

But for those who don't have an interest in reading a book let's look at other simple evidence to corroborate the findings . Liberals are now proudly calling themselves socialists after socialism slowly starved to death 120 million human souls in Red China and USSR. Why on earth would they call themselves, "socialist"? Would you name a new car you want to sell, Edsel? Would you name your child Adolf if you loved the name? If you were DuPont selling paint would you stop using the "cover the earth" logo they used for decades before environmentalism caught on? If you sold the diet aid called AIDS, would you continue to call it AIDS as the disease AIDS was killing millions? So why do liberals call themselves socialists? I can offer 3 possible explanations:

1) they have a tin ear, so to speak
2) they don't know history
3) they believe that "real" liberal socialism will work rather than kill millions; so it is irreverently related to old socialism in name only. This makes one wonder whether our liberals would give up at 200 million dead. After all 120 ought to be sufficient-right?

Can the reader suggest a 4th possible explanation and say whether it rises to level of a mental disease??
 
No, itā€™s a conservativeā€™s thread premise that fails as an argument from authority fallacy ā€“ confirming the fact that most conservatives lack critical thinking skills.

you don't think the MD has authority when you have not read his arguments? Think before you post please.

Just because he's got an MD doesn't make him right or moral.
Look where Michael Jackson's doctor is right now, in jail.
You Trumpanzees are so easily trained.

You find the book in science fiction area of bookstores.
 
Encyclopedia of American Loons: #1089: Lyle Rossiter

In other words, the presupposition for his research is: ā€œMy political views are so obviously correct that anyone who doesnā€™t accept them must be mentally ill;ā€ in other words, he presupposes a right-wing political outlook and then tries to explain why other people do not accept this truth by mental illness
 
And looky here we find out why the book is in science fiction, Cons are just too stupid.
Conservatism Linked to Lack of Education
Conservatism Linked to Lack of Education
I send you to college and now you support queers!
Published on February 17, 2010

Oh right wing media, how I love thee for amusement. So it is a bad thing that liberals are more educated?

A recently released study showed that people at the end of college are more liberal than people starting college. And it also showed that students at the end were not necessarily more knowledgable about government and civics issues.

According to a wide range of right wing media, this is a sign that college makes people liberal. This is a bad thing because, according to them, liberal professors are pushing their beliefs onto students, but, get this, they aren't necessarily learning more.

(Sigh before I go on). First, it is outlandish to suggest that, overall, students aren't learning more in college because they don't know more about government and history. What about all the other subjects? And clearly, from your perspective, they are learning liberal views right? Isn't that of some civic value?

Secondly, since when was education a bad thing? I am so tired of people telling me that I "think too much" and am just some brainwashed left winger in academics. I am sorry I know a lot about something and this shapes my views on life, including social issues. It is sad that people have to apologize for knowing stuff, as if this is some horrible thing. But for conservatives, it is often it viewed this way.

(No wonder Fox News reporters play down their credentials. For instance, one reporter was Valedvictorian and graduated from Stanford, but asks on air what words like "czar" mean, as if she doesn't know).

Why isn't this study being viewed by people as a negative thing for conservativism? Why are the headlines "liberals brainwash your kids at college" instead of "If you are conservative, you are probably less educated?"

Sadly, it seems I do not have much media company in my interpretation of the results.

Ah, Special Ed bubbles up like a volcano. Mercury must be in retrofit.

---- Complete with ironical post claiming Liberals "don't know history" ---- despite his own ignorance of the fact that Liberalism is what birthed this country.

Par for the coarse for a site buffoon who sat on this same board and tried to tell us Tom Jefferson founded the Republican Party, 28 years after his own death.

In fact Jefferson and Madison founded the Republican Party in 1793. If you have a primary source to indicate otherwise I will pay you $10,000. Bet? in fact Jefferson in Madison founded the Republican Party in 1793. If you have a primary source to indicate otherwise I will pay you $10,000. Bet?

If conservatives are linked to a lack of education why is it that they support freedom just as our genius founders did?While liberals oppose it And are now even saying socialism is the face of the new democratic party?

You still haven't paid me the $10k you already owe me for showing you how the Republican Party was founded in Ripon Wisconsin (which is not Madison) in 1854 -- 28 years after Jefferson passed on.

Now you want to pay me triple?

What's three times zero? Anybody got a calculator?
