Don't over think it, I believe there is a part of liberalism that is a mental dysfunction, like never growing into a mature adult, willing to accept responsibility for ones own actions.

On the other hand, some people just like the party atmosphere of the left, like jumping on the bandwagon of hope and change, which has probably created more thinking liberals than we could have hoped for.

Consider how many of them thought Utopia was just around the corner, only to discover they were nothing more than useful idiots for the socialists.

Husein probably and unknowingly created more Conservatives in the last two years than anything in the last 20 years.

And it's offset by liberal media geared specifically to blaming Bush, Palin, or anyone else BUT the party and people actually running up the deficit we Boomers blithely expect the Gen X,Y,Z'ers to actually pay.

I don't think any liberal under about age 40 has even tried to understand how maliciously and with great forethought they have been misled. They stood with their hand out, and now the bill is coming due and THEY will lead America, they can't quite grasp the true horror their greed has caused us.

A Solar~ Yeah, I think Arp is over thinking this one.

I have often said Obozo is the reason for the big win in Nov! The Repubs didnt actually deserve that win!

Obozo made more conservatives than anyone or anything.

Sooo true, and at that point, they will become "fiscal Conservatives". 8)

It's a design feature, not a product flaw.

And what does this milquetoast bunch of old groaners have to offer as the Next GOP Messiah? If they allow that preaching posturing Gingrinch in the door, we can be 100% sure Obama will get elected.

The GOP farm team just never got enough legroom to get known to the voters now expected to elect them. It's a catastrophe in the making.

I had a teacher actually say that Hitler had a good plan, he just didn't implement it correctly.

Now that I have kids, I see the same thing happening with their teachers...I watch the Disney Channel with them and I can totally see Disney pushing the liberal agenda,...I always point it out to my kids so they can be aware of it as well.
Walt is turning in his grave at how the left have destroyed all that he worked so hard for.

OMG I can't believe a teacher can get away with that...

I had a history teacher that would give the whole class B's even if we did nothing at all in his class.... he said and I quote "I hate egg heads and show off's".... He gave them B's even when they deserved A's...that always stuck in my head.

Knuckling to authority abdicates personal responsibility. The same over-educated, over-paid mental health professionals got to where they are by avoiding having to take responsibility. It's endemic to the educational system.

And if those who knuckle to authority survive, even prosper given the right situation, who's functional and who's dysfunctional?

Quote from: U_Kay on March 03, 2011, 02:00:52 PM
Arp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You may be shocked to learn many mental illnesses are diagnosed with what you are describing...

The ability to be very crafty and manipulative so the the mentally ill patient gain what he or she really wants... That is not uncommon with some illnesses. Also, some of them can and do hold jobs and are functioning well enough.

I have a brother who is schizophrenic... You should have been in the Dr's. office when the Dr was sharing the symptoms... You would have learned that some patients really are similar to what you describe.

Why would you think I'd be surprised at anything that comes out of the mental health profession?

If I didn't make the inference strong enough my skepticism about the mental health profession is honestly earned. I've seen ineptitude and incompetence by people who really did care. They're just undercut by the lack of any underlying science.

But "dysfunction" means something's broken. That something isn't operating the way it would if it weren't broken. I just don't think lefties are dysfunctional and that to say that lefties are nuts is self-indulgence; if lefties are nuts then conservatives are sane. They're damaged goods and we're the way it's s'pozed to be. That's just so convenient it makes me uneasy and I reflexively reject the too convenient solution.

Sorry, I can't help but over-think it. When you have such a mighty, impressive organ - I'm referring to my massive brain fer gosh sakes! - it's an unavoidable danger. Ba-dum-bum.

I was thinking that lefties remind me of nothing so much as the Lost Boys from Never Never Land. The villains are unequivocally, if not too threateningly, evil, the Lost Boys and Peter Pan are unequivocally good and nothing too serious ever occurs. I suppose you could call that a form of mental illness but you can call anything anything. But if the definition doesn't get you something, if it doesn't capture some essential quality then it's just a sticker you've stuck onto something you don't understand to differentiate it from all the other things you don't understand.

I'm very angry about that right now. Taxed, is he in Atlanta right now? Is there any way you can sort of keep him there? Maybe send him a message that Al Gore is heading to Atlanta to see him about a campaign contribution?..... ;)

Josie, thanks for the link. I am gone to check it out! 

@ Quiller~ I hope I didnt come across as putting Arp down for over thinking on this.

@ Arp~ Imo, there has to be something wrong with conservatives. Their form of logic makes very little, if any sense, to me. Dr Rossiter pointed this out in the link I provided.

If you are uncomfortable with calling them ill, I will double up on crowing this point.  ;)  I've got you covered!

MM, I cant figure Newt out. Sometimes he seems as though he is a conservative, sometimes he's a liberal.

He didn't get away with it, I told my dad and he drug his ass into the principals office and chewed his ass a new one.
But that was the 60s, and commies weren't welcome in the school system.

Like they are today. :(

Oops!!  :-[  Serves me right for not proofing my posts! I meant to say there has to be something wrong with liberals for their logic makes little sense or no sense all too often.

It is as though their logical reasoning side of their brain is twisted. Dr. Rossiter hit on this point in the WND article in my first post in this thread. I dont think he means to claim liberals are dysfunctional, or needing institutionalizing. They arent that bad off mentally. I also didnt get the impression Dr Rossiter intends for us to feel sorry for liberals. He simply sees where their thought patterns do not add up in certain respects.  I will bring forward a quote from Dr Rossiter to explain his example of this point.
