I like to call it “Leftardism” but political madness is good descriptor too. Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter Jr.,M.D. wrote the book “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness” (2008).

Ellis Washington teaches American Government at Savannah State University and in this WND article he writes about trying to prevent another generation of black students succumbing to the ideology of victimization.

While neither Dr. Rossiter nor myself postulate that all liberals are ipso facto clinically mad, there are many characteristics of liberalism that are associated with the classic symptoms of madness, including:

* creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
* satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
* augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
* rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

Whether you have a Ph.D. or a GED or fall somewhere in between, any government system or political philosophy based on taking trillions of taxpayer dollars and giving it to some lazy bum who didn’t earn it and doesn’t deserve it in my opinion is sheer madness – as is any political organization like the Democratic Party that achieves and seizes power by seeing people not as the Constitution’s framers saw people, as individuals (”We the People”), but uses them as a cynical means to an unholy end – using Machiavellian, Marxist and Alinsky tactics, divide people into warring factions: men against women, blacks against whites, Jews against Muslims, proper against the perverse, handicapped against able-bodied, workers against employers, straight against homosexuals, “the haves vs. the have nots.”

It’s all madness. Objectively speaking, liberalism is national genocide!

Makes absolute sense to me but then I’ve always thought those of the liberal persuasion (and we’re talking about those that truly believe the claptrap they’re spewing) have a mental disorder.

Go read the article, it’s pretty interesting.
