He doesn't actually understand the definition of liberal.

But either way, I'll apply for disability from the government, thanks for the tip.

Oh, geez @@. This story comong from WND, a worthless rag that claims that soy milk causes homosexuality. I'm not impressed.

Don't waste our time with such crap.

WND - may as well be from Huffington post or the National Enquirer or Focus on the Family's Citizen link. All are pretty worthless.

It's come up before. Anyone who has worked with mentally ill patients can see the parallels.

In fact, I was actually booted from Helium for daring to say that liberals exhibit signs of mental illness. On that forum, there was no doubt there were a few that were off their rockers.

They also took exception that I called a particularly vicious poster anti-sematic. Which she was.

Yet he didn't advance a medically recognized diagnosis?

Interesting.

And you, my dear, are the robust picture of con mental health.

There is a funny sort of irony and paradox in a psychiatrist whose life is premised on the idea that people need help coming up with a theory that helping people is a mental illness. One wonders if he sits on couch and talks to himself often.

What's ironic is liberals thinking that they are helping people with their stupid policies.

And the same can be said for psychiatrists. I wonder if he ever prescribes drugs or does he tell all his patients it is their fault and to grin and bear it. In the end though, something like social security, has helped more people than this wacko doctor.

Social Security is ILLEGAL and Unconstitutional. But hey who cares if the Government just does what ever the hell it wants with our tax dollars. OHH wait YOU mind when it is not some socialist program you like. Go figure.

Actually, social security guarantees that a poor to middle income person's life savings can't really support him in a comfortable retirement, and can never be passed on to his family after he dies. That's not helpful at all.

I think this is a pretty good analysis of the freak's work, written last February.

Several years after a Federally funded study found that conservatism was a mental disorder a Right Wing psychiatrist has released a book, timed for the election cycle, claiming the same things about Liberals. Are we to believe that this is a coincidence?

Little known shrink and political hack Dr. Lyle Rossiter has released a new book entitled "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness" that is designed to feed the red meat hunger of Right Wing ideologues at a time when the Conservative movement is on the ropes after seven years of incompetence and corruption under George W. Bush.

Most of its claims are not so subtle reversals of the conclusions reached by four distinguished scholars that were funded by the US Government in a study to discover the roots of conservatism.

The report "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition" cost $1.2 million and was supervised by the National Foundation as well as the National Institutes of Health. It found that conservatism is essentially a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".

In an article published in the highly respected peer reviewed scholarly journal "Psychological Bulletin" the authors state:

"This intolerance of ambiguity can lead people to cling to the familiar, to arrive at premature conclusions, and to impose simplistic cliches and stereotypes."


Among the sufferers of this heart-breaking malady the researchers studied President George W. Bush and found him to be a "textbook case" of the madness. Among the early warning signs that he exhibits is "his preference for moral certainty and frequently expressed dislike of nuance." The scientists believe that it was Bush's aversion to shades of gray and the need for "closure" that led him to ignore intelligence that contradicted his beliefs about Iraq's non existent WMD's.

At the time that this report came out conservatives were outraged and dismissed the whole thing as merely the opinion of the scientists involved. It is highly amusing now to watch conservatives fall all over themselves to tout Dr. Rossiter unscientific and undocumented political scree simply because it gives them comfort in the face of their impending humiliation at the polls come November

Thanks for digging that up. WND really has the cream of the crop writing for them, eh??

To be fair, only the wingnuts think it's credible. The real conservatives know what it is.

LOL! I see them using the "liberal" defense in court.

Bzzzzzzzzzz... wrong answer RGS. The Court said it's legal and Constitutional.

Let me know when you have a new decision that says otherwise and we'll talk.
