Yes!
All of the above.
Liberalism boggles the mind.
They're all dumb asses.
Most libs I know show signs of proanoia, to a
greater, rather than a lesser degree.
A proanoiac believes people are praising them
behind their backs.
Among the Democrat leadership, it is clearly a personality disorder -- designed to capitalize on the previous group.
It’s a kindergarten mentality that they haven’t grown out of.
NO- It's usually a physical disorder- They're normally uglier than sin, with frizzy hair on the "females", although the sexuality is usually impossibly vague.
According to Liberal Fascism, they are raving nutters with delusions of godhood and grandeur.
Actually, this is an extremely good question. I’ve heard Michael Savage call liberalism a mental disorder. However, mental disorders have demonstrated good response to medical treatment with drugs. I’d have to suggest, then, that liberalism is a Personality Disorder as no drugs (that we know of at this time) provides any relief from this malady. The evidence is in the fact that many people who are strong advocates for liberalism are often reported in the news as seeking treatment for drug use/abuse - obviously the drugs do not have a positive benefit with respect to their liberalism.
I could write a tome.
I don’t think liberals are mentally deficient, but they’re completely naive, misguided, economically ignorant and out of touch with reality.
Overall, I’d say more of a personality disorder.
Most of the liberals I know live in a Never Never Land. There is no war, no violence and everybody is taken care of. No personal effort is involved. The GOVERNMENT will provide an answer to all problems.
I don't know the medical terms for what I see as the problem, but...
basically childish behavior.
You have a lot of toys...why can't I have them, too? Give me your toys you darned bully.
My dad loves me and will make sure I have everything I need even if I am a brat. But if I behave (fool Dad) I get more stuff. Espescially if I mow the yard and take out the trash for a couple of weeks.
Dad will protect me from all evil. I don't have to worry about being hurt from anybody. Well I hope not. If Dad can't talk the bad guy out of hurting us when he breaks in the house, I don't really know what we'll do. I sure don't want Dad to get in a fight.
See leftism as the loss of moral foundations; a spiritual, ethical vacuum.
Having left behind the idea of divine, eternal accountability, there is only this world. And here, ignore it the best they can by engaging in the role-play of intrigue and machinations, they will find themselves in more reflective moments bumping into Solomon’s conclusions in Ecclesiastes.
Today we call it madness. Solomon called it foolishness.
Socialism is the maturation, the metastasis, of corruption.
Conservatives tend to think linearly: “If this, then this.”; “Here is what was attempted, here are the results.”; “Based on experience, this works and this does not work.” Etc.
Liberals do not think that way. Liberals, thanks mainly to their congenital insecurity, are easily conned and manipulated. They are relentlessly unwilling to admit when they are wrong. (Their bizarre obsession with attempting to elicit “apologies” from Republican officials is an offshoot of their strained thought processes, but that’s another topic for another day.)
Liberals, when confronted with bare-bones truth that challenges their world view, will scrunch their eyes shut, shake their heads, and chant “nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah” until whatever truth it is they find offensive “goes away”. They simply do not have the capacity to revise their thoughts and beliefs to conform to the truth before their very eyes if that truth contradicts the foundation of beliefs they hold onto as a weapon in their constant struggle against their own irrational insecurity.
Certainly, there are notable exceptions such as David Horowitz, PJ O’Rourke, Bernie Goldberg, and others who were smart enough to lift themselves out of the silly liberal mire, but these folks are, unfortunately, rare exceptions.
Being an unashamed liberal is a matter of character (or more accurately, lack of character). Liberals are mostly humorless and bitter. Everybody else is (richer, happier, luckier, fill-in-the-blank) than they deserve to be and something about that is not “fair”. Liberals are either permanently victimized malcontents or the guilt-ridden white subset of liberals who feel that their own good fortune (and by extension the good fortune of others) is somehow undeserved.
Interestingly, true liberals are often physically slow and unathletic and have no interest in competetive sports, especially team sports. “Competetive sports” is, in fact, an alien concept to them. To be blunt, true liberals (genuine socialists) are almost always clumsy oafs.
Additionally, liberals really don’t “get” jokes, even if they chuckle as though they do. (Test this for yourself - - try to tell a liberal a joke. For additonal laughs, ask the liberal if he/she/it has a good joke.)
Liberals can appear to be normal people and are often able to handle their jobs and academic endeavors competently. They can usually socialize normally with other people, even if their self-centeredness prevents them from ever establishing a true friendship.
Perhaps the most troubling thing about liberals, however, is that they see no problem in walking into the polling place on election day and voting for big government to confiscate more money - - from their NEIGHBORS. Normal people would view this behavior as selfish and rude, but liberals may believe that they are somehow accomplishing something - - perhaps the exercise soothes their irrational guilt under the tragic misbelief that they are “helping” others (using other people’s money, of course), notably, “the poor”. Apparently, voting for government to take more money from their neighbors so that Democrat politicians may use that money to buy the votes of society’s losers, bums, and parasites makes liberals feel good about themselves. (Don’t ask me - - figuring out liberals would best be left to a team of very good psychiatrists.)
Anyway, I believe that the percentage of true liberals in this country is actually pretty low - - far less than the Democrat turnout would indicate. Essentially, the rats run a good con and there is no shortage of fools and ignoramuses who buy it. And so we end up with “community organizer” Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
It is neither. It is an abject hatred of God.
Conservatives are from Mars. Liberals are from Uranus.
