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." "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 the two major candidates for the Democratic Party presidential nomination 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."

I saw this a few days ago....its not really shocking if you have ever talked to a lib before they are irrational. Take from the middle class, give to the lazy poor.

"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."

This line perfectly describes the posts of every self proclaimed liberal on this site. And, makes it clear which ones are liberal while denying the charge.

You are totally mistaken. Liberals are the middle class for the most part. If they want to take from anyone it is from the rich. Liberals just want every citizen to have an equal chance at success. This means that the top 5% of people in a society should contribute more so the bottom 20% can move up to middle class. This used to be the norm when the good times rolled, 10-20 years ago. Bush gave 90% of the tax relief to the top 3% and the corporations. What Obama proposes is to repeal those tax cuts, not the pittance granted to the middle class. Can you even imagine giving a tax credit to corporations that move jobs offshore? Bush did!

I never said liberals are not the middle class....We should work for what we recieve and no exceptions.

The top 50% of income earners pay 97% of all income taxes. Of that, the top 1% of income earners pay 39% of all income taxes.

If they want to take from anyone it is from the rich.

Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:

Your nuts, clinically so, Mao.

If you want corporations to move back into the country, and the jobs that will come with them, then you should be in favor of the Fair Tax, thereby eliminating ALL income taxes, ALL taxes on capital and ALL taxes on production. The reason they have moved off shore is because of our unfavorable and uncompetitive tax system. Do some research on the Fair Tax and you'll see how well the lower income folks will benefit and how our economy will boom. Also, the K Street lobby scum will be gone forever ... and that crusty little bureaucrat who audited my income tax last year will be asking: "Do you want fries with that?"

So, you think the middle class doesn't work? Well you may be right soon enough. BTW I never advocated giving anything to those too lazy to try. I also had to work untill my retirement, 50 fucking years of mostly manual labor jobs, construction, mechanic, truck driver, etc. I have no use for lazy assholes, but there are a lot of poor people that are willing to work, but the wages offered are not enough to move them off of welfare. If you are on welfare, you get medical for your children. If you go get a job @ 6.00 an hr, you can't even pay rent, let alone all the other expenses and you lose the medical, so you see, the motivation is lacking. I don't have the answer, but it is not as simple as just cutting them off and letting them starve to death. A society needs to take care of those in need, and yes that means the ones a few rungs up the ladder must contribute to that cause, sorry.

You can't concede that liberals are the middle class, ever. A - It just isn't true. Most of the richest asses out there are liberals. Look at the income/worth of Democratic Senators vs Republican Senators, and you'll see a huge discrepancy. And..... B - Idiot libs will base all future arguments on your concession, even though it is fallacious.

True, but you probably also still live with your parents, or, have a second, higher paying job, or, are a second or third tier income earner in your family. Get real, loon.
