The Psychopathology of Liberalism
American Thinker ^ | 29 Aug, 2022 | Pete McArdle

Posted on 08/29/2022 4:42:27 AM PDT by MtnClimber

As the late, great Rush Limbaugh liked to say, "You can't spell LIBERALISM without L-I-E-S." It's those lies that make your typical liberal so neurotic and out of touch with reality —because you can fool others with falsehoods, misdirection, and nonsense, but except in rare cases, you can't fool yourself. So by actively participating in the religion and sacraments of liberalism, all based on lies, lefties literally make themselves crazy.

Take racism. Libs would like you to think that in today's America, only white people are racist. But even a cursory examination of just which people are attacking innocent Asians and Hasidic Jews in NYC, and why they're doing it, shows the falsity of that belief. Unfortunately, there are folks in every racial or ethnic group who fear The Other and respond by lashing out at those who look different. By pretending that's not so, libs create damaging cognitive dissonance in their own minds and personalities.

Consider sexism. Libs would tell you that masculinity, as it has been known for thousands of years, is toxic — i.e., a poison foisted upon poor unsuspecting females. But what of Hillary Clinton, attacking her husband Bill's girlfriends and paramours as mere sluts out for money? Hillary called Monica Lewinsky, a young intern sexually abused by President Clinton — in the Oval Office, no less — a "narcissistic loony toon." Is that not toxic femininity?

How about God and government? Sane people know that it's God who grants us life and certain inalienable rights, and it's God to whom we must eventually answer. Libs love themselves some Big Government and all the laws, rules, regulations, and rights that the all-knowing Nanny State graciously spews out. But when liberals become even slightly aware of what a corrupt, lying, self-serving monster our U.S. government

Keep calling them ‘liberals’, ‘progressives’, ‘democrats’, ‘environmentalists’, even ‘socialists’, and you are playing by their rules: stealth communism. Always hiding behind facades and our side always playing along.

I have seen these yard signs in East Tennessee...specifically; the Tri-Cities region.

That yard sign is right out of a George Orwell novel.

The people inside the house are mindless drones bleating slogans along the lines of "four legs good, two legs better" just like the good little sheep they are.

These signs are everywhere near me. The good thing though, is they are announcing who they are and I don’t have to waste time going through the process of finding out. They are very helpful.

Those signs should say: Come rob us, we have no guns here.

All this is showing that human beings are basically idiots. Easily led, easily fooled, easily used by other humans seeking power.

Bleeding heart liberals are used by communists, who are in turn used by those who seek a totalitarian government with themselves in the driver's seat, who are in turn used by the Deep State, which is already in the driver's seat.

It seems that the entire idea of human sovereignty is unraveling. Humans are incapable of establishing groups/governments/societies to organizations themselves. We are like a bunch of monkeys who think we are intelligent when actually we're just slinging poo and calling it art.

Don’t be fooled. I know some Leftists with lots of guns. They just don’t want YOU to have guns.

They want the government to control who is allowed to have guns, because they are confident that they will control the government people who make those decisions.

If you were a career burgler casing that neighborhood which house do you break into? The one with that ridiculous sign in front, that one.

Those signs are nothing but "virtue signals."

It is the equivalent of a religious person putting up a sign of the Ten Commandments or going to Sunday School just to hear chatter about people's social lives or attending a social club church on Sunday morning.

People who put up these signs are seeking their god's (little "g" on purpose) approval. They want a check by their name...they want a gold star for attendance.

Yep. I’ve got a neighbor whose is as liberal as the day is long. Loves to rant about the need for all private guns to be confiscated for the good of society. He also owns a full auto AK 47 and 45 Springfield.

The might as well add to that sign:
“Up is down”
“Down is up”
“Good is Evil”
“Evil is good”
“Right is left”

I’ve seen these signs in my area, mostly around the large university campus where professors live.

“Liberalism is a mental disorder.” Which, if left untreated, invariably becomes communism.
