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 a mental 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."

I agree completely.

[MOD CUT]

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
-Thomas Jefferson


What kind of liberal-minded idiot thinks that a man should feel entitled by birth to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? How did we become so skewed?

Wow. So Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, The Netherlands--all governments characterized by "political madness."

That Dr. Rossiter is such a ham.

Yeah... and?

"A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity."

How about this wisdom:

Some people are just naturally liberal and others are naturally conservative. You don't need a book or a psychotherapist to tell you this.

Just when I was sure this forum couldn't get any more ridiculous. Congrats, OP, you proved me wrong!

Check this out:
I found a website that claims that the author of the book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness" is indeed named Lyle Rossiter, JR., MD , and he also starts threads on CITY DATA with the screen name of ErikMartinsen. It seems he did not sell one copy so he tried to create interest in his lame book by pretending to be an interested reader starting a thread here. I provided the link below, it's a really busy website so if it doesn't direct you to it right away, just keep clicking, especially if you actually take the OP seriously just keep clicking away.
