As we ponder the temper tantrums by current progressives and offer analyses of the driving force behind blatantly bad behavior, we might consider the studies by psychiatrist Lyle Rossiter, M.D. in his 2011 book, The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness. His website offers a synopsis of his clinical findings, which include:
1. The laws and moral codes--the rules--that properly govern human conduct arise from, and must be compatible with, the biological, psychological. and social nature of man.
2. The liberal agenda's Modern Parental State violates all of the rules that make ordered liberty possible.
3. The modern liberal agenda is a transference neurosis of the modern liberal mind, acted out in the world's economic, social and political theaters.
4. The liberal agenda's Modern Permissive Culture corrupts the foundations of civilized freedom and is destroying America's magnificent political achievements...
...none is more typical and revealing than President Obama and his recent claim: “I am confident in this vision because I’m confident that if I -- if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it,” Obama told his former senior adviser, David Axelrod, on Monday’s “Axe Files” podcast. “I know that in conversations that I’ve had with people around the country, even some people who disagreed with me, they would say the vision, the direction that you point towards is the right one.”
Just count the number of times Obama uses the pronoun “I” in just these few sentences. A two-year old toddler might match him.

Obama is the poster child for liberalism/communism.
Stalinism doesn’t have to be rational.
Stalinists lie. Always
It is worse than an illness.

Be prepared.
Worse than that, progressivism (aka leftism) is treason.
This is chickensoup’s Education Series called LEFTISTS.
Use truth.
Left and leftism is the preferred term for conservatives to use when discussing people on the other side. Liberal and progressive are the fuzzy sweet terms that these fascists would like to be called.
When you control the language you control everything.
A lot of so called “Conservatives” support the status quo of high income taxes and low(nil) import tariffs. Seems to me that is supporting progressivism right there. A lot of hypocrisy to go around.
Left-Right, Liberal-Conservative, Democrat-Republican — all the old binary relationships seem to have lost their meanings.
I believe in national sovereignty and adherence to the laws, specifically including the Constitution. Everything else flows from that.
I believe tariffs are good for the national economy.
I believe low taxes are good for the citizens of this nation.
Globalists and Progressives disagree.
You are so right. All of this behavior is the result of that.
For those unfamiliar, websearch on “The Frankfurt School”.
Following Woodrow Wilson and FDR, these were 1940’s Marxist-socialist imports from Germany, with a plan — the slow but steady indoctrination of America’s youths in schools and society, to achieve a socialist America from within.
The breakdown of Christianity, family, male/female roles, race relations, heterosexuality, individualism, blue ribbons, etc. were all part of it. Their minions brought us consensus building and sensitivity training.
Proof that liberalism is a mental disorder:
1. Abortion (taking the life of an innocent) should be a constitutional right, while the Death Penalty (taking the life of the guilty) should be unconstitutional;
2. Burning the American flag is freedom of speech, while simply displaying the Confederate flag is “hate” speech;
3. The belief that there is a “rape culture” on campus, as most men are potential rapists, while also believing that men (who ostensibly identify as women) should be allowed to use women’s public rest rooms and public showers;
4. The belief that we should not “jump to conclusions” that an obviously terrorist act is an act of terrorism” before all the facts are in, while also believing that any developing story about an alleged attack on a Muslim is immediately considered an act of “right wing extremism” or a “Trump supporter”;
5. The belief, before Nov. 8, 2016, that Trump is outrageous for claiming that the election could be “rigged”, while also believing that, after Nov. 8, 2016, the election was “rigged”;
6. The belief that Trump’s refusal to say before Nov. 8, 2016, that he would not challenge the results of the election was a “direct threat to our democracy” as Hillary said, while also believing it is their patriotic duty to challenge the results of the election after Nov. 8, 2016;
7. The belief that saying “black lives matter” is ok and race-neutral, while also believing that saying “all lives matter” is racist;
8. The belief that cigarettes should be illegal, while believing that marijuana should be legalized;
9. The belief that more gun laws making it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to own guns will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists;
10. The belief that all criticism and disagreement with George W. Bush was patriotic, as Hillary screamed, but that criticism and disagreement with Barack Hussein Obama is racist.
11. The belief that a bakery should be forced, against their religious beliefs, to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, while believing that its ok for a restaurant owner to deny service to anyone whom he believes voted for Trump or for entertainers to refuse to perform at the Trump inauguration;
12. The belief that colleges and universities should prepare students for the real world, while believing that those same students should have safe-rooms, coloring books and crayons when they suffer micro-aggressions and are confronted with harsh realities;
13. The belief that so-called “Sanctuary Cities” can ignore federal laws regarding immigration, while also believing that cities and States can be sued by the federal government if they pass voter i.d. laws that the feds disagree with;
14. The belief that it was ok when Obama patted Russian president, Medvedev, on the leg and whispered that he should tell Vlad (Putin) that he (Obama) would have more flexibility after the election in 2012, while also believing that Trump having any relationship with Putin is disastrous.
He’s the poster child of Pajama Boy...
To your Point 2, even DISPLAYING the Amereican flag has been ruled offensive by some local municipalities...
Could we please not accommodate LIBERALS by letting them pretend their agenda is “progress”?
Rebellion
Michael Savage has been saying this for years.
I’ve NEVER known a lib who held themselves personally responsible for anything. Their failures/disappointments are ALWAYS someone else’s fault.
And, it is always “me first - screw you”
And others take advantage of the greed and mental illness of the Democrat Party leaders.
George Soros.
China.
Saudi Arabia.
Iran.
ISIS.
It’s actually a combination of mental illness, willful treason, and holdover behaviours/attitudes from a very young age (think 3 year old temper tantrums).
It is thus best solved by a combination of involuntary commitment to mental institutions, execution by firing squad, and adult physical discipline.
Short of that or a massive spiritual revival, good luck.
