With the MSM out of control, openly and aggressively taking sides now that their poster boy is lagging in the polls, we see new energy and fervor from the rabid Left. Look at all of the posts on this site with comments like “The idea that the Media has a Liberal bias is a red herring” or other idiocy like “The Democrat party is the party of fiscal responsibility” or the repeating of made-up smears against McCain that were exposed and debunked long ago. It seemed appropriate to bump this post because we are seeing evidence of the fundamental mental illness that is Liberalism everywhere. There isfar more evidence to show that Liberalism is a form of mental illness than there ever was about human-caused Global Warming.
For more than 20 years I have been saying Liberalism is a form of mental illness, a conclusion based on heuristics and anecdotal observations and examples. I was a voice in the wilderness back then, but others have come to the same conclusion. It is now beginning to look like consensus, and with the addition of Science it is at least as valid a theory as human-caused Global Warming, and arguably more so.
Dr. Lyle Rossiter provides the Science with his study titled “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological causes of Political Madness”.
Here is an excerpt:
“Modern liberalism’s irrationality can only be understood as the product of psychopathology. So extravagant are the patterns of thinking, emoting, behaving and relating that characterize the liberal mind that its relentless protests and demands become understandable only as disorders of the psyche.” The Liberal Mind reveals the madness of the modern liberal for what it is: a massive transference neurosis acted out in the world’s political arenas, with devastating effects on the institutions of liberty.
This makes complete sense and explains the Liberal thinking and behavior that defies any other explanation.

What a great find Robert and thanks for posting this. I have laughed everytime you’ve said this. I have had to deal with a very liberal father in law who has shown himself to be blind to ‘the other point of view’ and I have come to the conclusion that not only is liberalism a form of mental illness but liberals in general are as closed minded as an individual can be.
Welcome to the growing consensus! And unlike the “consensus” that blames human activity for Global Warming, we aren’t motivated by money to reach our conclusion. It is simply the only way to explain the phenomenon of mass psychosis we have all observed.
Right Voices itself has this observation as a fundamental part of its orientation; if you’ve ever noticed at the top of each page, just under the Right Voices name text, the quote from Oscar Wilde.
=)) I have to linkfest this! It’s too good not to share!
This topic has got to be the dumbest thing I have seen this year. Rossiter has got to be some right wing political hack hired by Karl Rove to attack progressives. The rightwing is running scared because either Baraq Obama or Hillary Clinton will be the next President.
Our society can thank Liberals and Liberalism for virtually all social progress this country has made in the last 100 years. It was Liberals that ended child labor and virtual economic slavery! It was Liberalism that ended the Republican Depression of the 1930s! It was Liberals that won the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s and broke the white male Republican Jim Crow laws! It was the progressive Democratic leadership in Congress that brought down the Berlin wall and ended the Cold War after 50 years of stonewallling by the right wing had created it! If not for Bush and Halliburton, we wouldn’t be bogged down in the endless quagmire of the illegal war they started!
Now it will be Liberals, Liberalism, and Democratic President Baraq Obama who will enact change, real change, change we can believe in!!!
It is inevitable and the sooner you accept it the quicker we can move on, make progress.
DA you need to take some serious history classes. I don’t even begin to know where to start but I’ll go with this.
The Jim Crow laws of the south were enacted by DEMOCRATS as was the KKK. Go do your homework.
With the media and the left wing zealots acting like ‘pigs’ it’s a good time to bring this one back up. Thanks for reposting Robert.
Liberalism IS truly a form of mental illness.
Demonic voices in the heads of liberal, tell them to worship and support Obama>:)>:)>:):)=)):-@
Thank you all; and I offer the post above by “Democratic Activist” as further evidence of mental illness.
I’ve posted before some of my legendary stories about debating with Liberals in social situations and how it is impossible because their minds are unable to follow logical sequences.
libbiebasher its true and funny, but I think for the most hardcore Leftists, it literally is true. The Devil is known as the “Prince of Lies”. The hardcore Left lies, absolutely. Their core, their foundation, their very essence is built on falsehoods and misrepresentations. They are the earthly minions of the Prince of Lies.
I absolutely believe this to be the case.
