"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness." "Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave."
(...)For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.

"A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do," he says. "A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do."

"The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."
Good Lord! Americans now have a nutcase for President-Elect!
There you have it. Proven: Liberalism/Leftism/Progressivism... it's a clinical mental disorder.
This is why it amuses me when those folks leave nasty comments herein to say to me, "You're nuts, deluded, disturbed, crazy...". You see, they also practice something called "projection" on a regular basis, accusing non-leftists of the very problems from which the leftists suffer. They hope that it will divert the attention of others from themselves, redirecting it onto someone else, as if doing so could magically take the mental disorders out of their heads and put them into someone else's. How nuts! They also, of course, when someone, like myself, points out the inconvenient truth about the whole "Progressive" movement and about Hard-Left leadership figures like Barack Obama, practice this projection. I usually don't bother to release such useless comments from moderation, as they're not helpful at all and just remind me that "progressives", when they have nothing of substance to offer as a rebuttal, will just say stuff like "you're lying" or "you're crazy".
