Most Republicans aren't that crazy, but yes, if the country was run by the far-right, it would literally crumble apart. Without tax money to support infrastructure and education, it would become a "developing" country and thus would become a very expensive place to do business.

I have to agree! This house divided mentality is entirely the problem.

Obama is in power as revenge to GWB and the Republicans, and look what that has gotten us. If we swing to the Republicans and they do the exact same thing, it'll be in a clusterfk!!!

That's still speculation. The point is this country cannot function, Constitutionally speaking, as a one party system; no matter if it's left, right or polka dots!

Well it's a good thing we're not a nation then, huh?

The Nation could not stand another eight years of what has been going on for the last decade, we will collapse from within first and that is not something anyone will want to experience, many would not survive the fall.

According to some here we are no longer a Nation, I still believe we are one, and until that day comes, it will, we need to try and put out the fire, otherwise in the end it will consume many of us, good and bad alike.

*Southern Baptism and Catholicism would be the two dual national religions. Lutheranism and Methodism would be banned for their "liberal heresy".

*The US nuclear arsenal would be used to obliterate the savages in the Middle East and Russia. Israel however would be moved and anchored just off the coast of Myrtle Beach.

*Walmart would be the only store.
More proof that liberals are totally out of touch with reality and have no idea what anyone other than themselves think.

You wonder why people think liberalism is a mental disorder? Just look at this list.

Actually every thing on his list has either been suggested by Cons or something along those lines with small variations, they really are not far off the mark when it comes to the thought processes of some of the Cons here.
The one that is most recent would be the 6th item;
There have been several Cons saying just throw the kids back across the border into Mexico, even though they know these kids did not come from Mexico, and yes I doubt they would care where they come from they simply want them gone. Is that the Christian way to handle the issue? Not by my form of Christianity it isn't.
So when you point to the OP and say you believe it explains why so many consider Libs to be mentally ill, others can point to the many comments made on this thread and on others on this site and make the same argument when it comes to Conservatives.

Compared to the majority of religious nuts on this board I'm considered a liberal leftist because I support gay marriage and am pro choice.

Some have to have their labels, makes life simply for the simple minded.

Yeah. Don't people understand satire when they see it?

Of course, the things I've listed for the most part are actually things I've seen proposed seriously by right wingers.
