Ann Coulter’s “liberalism is a mental disorder”
M. Savage may gave coined it first
Top psychiatrist concludes liberals clinically nuts
Eminent psychiatrist makes case ideology is mental disorder
February 15, 2008
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.
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 liberal is continually angry, as only a self-important man can be, with his civilization, his culture, his country and his folks back home. His is an infantile world view. At the core of a liberal is the spoiled child -- miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.

This is very easy to believe, esp. in light of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
That has to be a new category in the Diagnostic Manual.
Hahahha
Right on!
It has been obvious to most for a long time that LIB/lefties are lunatics. What’s new?
I have never met a happy liberal. They are full of angst, they lack joy, They are miserable in body, mind, and soul..
Really, I pity them.
They believe firmly in OPM. That is, Other People’s Money.
They never spend any of their own.
I have too many of these nutcakes in my family.
It goes deeper than that. It’s generational. The drugs are just a symptom .
They have deep spiritual and emotional deficiencies..
Nice re-cap.
Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats!
Preach it, Brother!!
Thank you.
