Psychotherapy for liberals (zero is Carter II)
American Thinker ^ | May 05, 2009 | James Lewis

Talking with liberals is frustrating, because you can't just talk about facts. That will only get them all upset, and all they will get out of the experience is never to listen to people like you. Most liberals live in their heads, or in little fluffy white clouds floating right above their scalps and resist efforts to engage them in rational conversation.

Our media are perfect examples. They never learn. They never listen to any other points of view. They know they have nothing to learn. Intellectually they are stuck, stuck, stuck.

(That's why the media are finally going bankrupt, thank goodness. But for years they got away with an endless parade of flagrant nonsense. Some of them still do. It's embarrassing.)

Talking to liberals is very much like doing therapy. The first lesson any psychiatrist learns is that most clients don't listen.

This is one of those articles that, for me, rings so true, but I fear it won't make sufficient difference.
We're going to have to suffer with the results of the stupidity that's been imposed on us, just as we still do with Carter's ineptitude.

At least I can use one of the salient points as a new tagline ...

New cases are really stacking up. I think it's a pandemic.

Articles that support the thesis that modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.

If the adults/the sane regain control, the children/insane will be unchastened and the cycle will continue.

If the world becomes an asylum, it may take centuries to recover.

My preference is the former, but the ‘adults’ will have to exert the love and husbandry of parents as opposed to the distance and apathy of foreigners to acceptably achieve any correction. Can they do this?

Will the ‘children’ allow it?

Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker in Landrum, SC that said “Obama is Arabic for Carter.”

My tagline for the past five years.....says what I’ve learned about the Left.

“Psychotherapy for Liberals”

Wouldn’t that be impossible since the insane are resistant to psychotherapy?

IMHO

Nah.

Talking to liberals is like banging your head on the wall --- It only feels good when you stop.

The Left is comprised of small cults who look to the “leader”, and the left must be dissasembled like a cult would. Of course it does not help that people like Hannity wastes his listeners’ time by shrieking uselessly at the “leader” since this allows the cultees a free pass. Any critique of Obama must travel right to his cultees, they must feel the sting of reality, this cult must be broken down like an onion outside to inside.

Breaking down the beliefs of individual cults will require either education or a reality wake up for each, and the sane folks (who could do the teaching) have their own lives and businesses to which they must attend ...

We’re in for a long, rough ride.

We can divide and conquer though, if not save the individual trapped in the cult, and we can rescue the middle from the leftnuts. These cults are small, but they assume that way more people agree with them than really do. As I wrote earlier our talk radio blabbermouths are wasting our time by shrieking blindly at Obama. The targets are the cults they must be attacked, attacked and attacked till the other cults and their cultees and the middle shy away from supporting them. Shine the light of reality upon them, strip Obama of his base one cult at a time.

The first cult in the spotlight that might make a convienient target will be the race quota cult which will be in the news with the USSC justice battle (if there is a battle). Though it might be more than most respectable conservatives wish to tackle.

You’re right. This NEEDS to be done.

Those of us who see the damage that has been, that is being and that will be done have to use that knowledge and more as the fuel of motivation to actually carry out what you describe.

We have to overcome those with the mindset of “I’m happy in my little world.” and “I don’t want to make the (significant) effort to understand what’s happening, recognize how they’re destroying my family’s freedoms for years to come and act as a new fuel source to educate others.”

In a nutshell, we have to self-sustaining fires as opposed to dying embers.
