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.
(Story continues below)
"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."

Orwell, Churchill or Regan could have told him that.

Yeah, and I need a degree in psychiatry to tell me that?

What we think is liberal is really socialist.

What we think is liberal is really socialist.
neo-liberals(post WW1 democrats) are socialists. Classical liberals (founding fathers) are not.

So when we speak of liberals and liberalism, we need to be careful on how we word it because liberalism in the classic sense, is a good thing.

No we don't because the classical meaning has been outmoded for over 40 years.

Well, we should refer demoncrats, not as liberal, but as socialists...call them what they actually are adn how they actually act.

'Popular usage'.
The original meaning of 'cute' meant 'sneaky and needed watching.' Yet who uses the word like that anymore?
'Liberal' in today's vernacular means leftist. Nobody under the age of 90 would think otherwise.

yea, but everybody knew that

GREAT POST, TorahZionist!

Michael Savage was right.D)

In fact, Leftists (Not correct to call them liberals, since they advocate no liberty) are mentally ill and should be in a mental hospital. A person must be really sick to combat all religious and moral values in secular countries which already have religious freedom, and at the same time side by fundamentalist regimes where liberalism is punished by execution. It seems that leftists have a tendency to commit mass suicide.
Someone who advocates feminism, gay marriage, no religion... hates Israel and Jews for being "too religious", and sides with Iran which forbids women rights, hang gays, and executes seculars...He must really be very very sick and needs urgent medical care!!!!!!

On this I agree with you 100%.
-
100% true. Liberals are Godless animals. When God is absent in their lives they become clinically nuts!

I agree that leftists can be considered clinically sick in some cases. But considering all non-religious/agnostic people to be mentally sick....It would be a new inquisition!!!!
Someone who bashes people who want to be religious, and at the same time sides with Muslim Sharia countries and even support those regimes who aim to enact Sharia in the West, he must surely need medical care. And if he refuses to be treated, then he must at least be banned from any important job, and perhaps be denied the right to vote.
But we canoot consider an agnostic to be sick, even if we don't agree with him. That would be a witch-hunt!!!
