I have another theory.
Liberalism is a form of mental illness.
In my job I frequently cross paths with the paranoid schizophrenic. These people are constantly convinced that they are being poisoned with no evidence and no symptoms. They also claim to have symptoms that are physically impossible, eg. One of them claimed the roof of his mouth was collapsing and his teeth were whiter .
I work with a couple of Catholic liberals. One of them is in church every Sunday and every Holiday claims she is devout. The other has her daughter in Catholic Elementary School to the tune of $6000 annually.
Obviously both of them see some kind of value in the Catholic faith but they also have no difficulty chucking Catholicism out the window when it interferes with their political leanings.
Both of them are RN's, both of them know that a fertilized egg with 23 pairs of chromosomes is human and can't be anything else. They also know that babies as young as 5 months in utero are viable outside the womb. We have had a grand child born to an office member at 2 1/2 lbs survive. They know it's human, a baby and not a fetus and they are still willing to support abortion.
They both support raising the minimum wage when it means effectively that they themselves get a pay cut and every dollar they have ever managed to save gets devalued.
They support public school education even though they keep their children out of it because they know it sucks.
When someone espouses a set of values and votes against those values they are corrupt.
When they espouse a set of beliefs and then chuck them out the window for the sake of a liberal vote they are hypocrites.
When they consistently vote against their own self interest , the safety and security of their children, then they are mentally ill.
