Studies done in California produce results that are not scientifically valid.

>>>>so many liberals think disagreeing with them is a form of psychosis

They believe in the treatment track. If they went for the punishment track, disagreeing with them would be thoughtcrime.

I don't know about kids but when they grow up, the whiny ones seem, to me, to be mostly liberals.

Liberalism/progressivism (or whatever they are calling it these days) itself should be classified as a mental disorder.

For example, both totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century, fascism and communism were a form of government worship. And liberals also continue to worship the concept of the all embracing nanny government every chance they get. And then they have the gall to call us fascists, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that socialism and fascism are about 70-80% similar and fascism and conservatism have no more than 20-30% similarities.

Hey, Freepers, the PhD who did this study got paid for 20+ years of steady work and will probably get funding from schools, foundations, etc for another twenty. This failure of a study has this guy laughing all the way to the bank.

How about a study to determine the voter registration of inmates at the local prison.

"Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley"

This is all you need to know. If the study had reached any other conclusion, it would have been buried and someone would want to know what happened to the grant. Consequently, all of thieir 'studies' reach the right conclusion.

UC Berkeley professor Jack Block's theory, according to the Star, is that insecure kids look for "reassurance provided by tradition and authority, and find it in conservative politics. The more confident kids are eager to explore alternatives to the way things are, and find liberal politics more congenial."






The liberal welfare state and it's "Entitlement Mentality" does NOT appeal to those with more confidence. It is the insecure and envious who flock to such a view.

"In 1964, an ad in the New York Times reported that 1,189 psychiatrists determined that Barry Goldwater was not "psychologically fit" to be president.
In 2003, another Berkeley study, led by John T. Jost, reviewed four decades of research of conservatism and found that conservatives tended to be fear-driven dogmatists, terrified by ambiguity. The study linked Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The findings were hardly surprising since they basically recapped the branch of "scholarship" launched by Adorno."

I remember some of this. I have a question that still remains unanswered. If these "psychiatrists" (of course they are all men of science and objective thought) can diagnosis a total stranger based on a few sound bites from TV or the radio, please answer me why they insist on doing evaluations in their offices? It seems via the phone at half the cost would be just peachy.

Psychiatry puts morality into the hands of a state licensed agent backed by police power, with no financial interest in a cure.

Hence its central role in imposing cultural Marxism.

Current Communist Goals

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

Yet another Berkeley professor, George Lakoff, has convinced leading Democrats that psychology is the best way to tackle politics. People see things through "frames," according to Lakoff, and if Democrats could simply recast those frames in their favor, conservatives would see the light.

I've never quite been able to figure out why liberals self-identify with qualities such as "bright", "non-conforming", and "hanging loose", then turn around and demand a system of government that represses creativity and initiative, stifles individuality, robs the productive to support the slothful, and demands a high degree of unthinking conformity.

Liberals seem to think they are libertarians, but until they learn that economic freedom is more important to the health of a free society than sexual license, they will remain Stalinists in drag. ;)

Adorno and his colleagues argued that conservatism was little more than a "pre-fascist" "personality type." According to this school, sympathy for communism was an indication of openness and healthy idealism. Opposition to communism was a symptom of your more deep-seated pathologies and fascist tendencies. According to Adorno, subjects who saw Nazism and Stalinism as similar phenomena were demonstrating their "idiocy" and "irrationality."

Nazism and Communism are similar phenomena. National Socialism (Nazis) is more based on racial ideology, but is overwhelmingly socialist in nature, where Communism is more based on class struggle rather than race, but all of that ultimately comes down to bitter struggles between superiors and inferiors. The two ideologies just define who's who a little differently. In the end, they both require brutal coercion to achieve Utopia, and of course brutal coercion is anathema to Utopia.

These psychology types have no understanding of politics or economics whatsoever, and need to STAY the EFF out of those fields. The abbreviated name "Nazi" for National Socialist has allowed liberals to hide how similar these ideologies are.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Stalin gave us many early warnings about Communism/Socialism. One was his comment that it didn't matter who voted, only who counts the votes. You will see that throughout liberal studies - the data don't matter, only who analyzes them.

In this case it was those who were labeling the kids. As Jonah says, dissent to a liberal sounds like a whine. We also know that they are prone to changing their evaluations if the cumulative data don't agree with their predetermined outcomes.
