I assume that most of you have read my About Me page? Well, it is short and in the 2nd paragraph I make this comment:
I enjoy politics but have a strong dislike of the liberal agenda. Notice I said liberal agenda, not liberals personally
I think being a liberal is like having a mental illness — something that cannot be helped without proper medication, but in the case of liberals, something that cannot be helped without proper education.
I was kind of joking when I typed it, but not really. Then, the other day, no2liberals was leaving some comments on a post of mine and the conversation took a turn to here. I thought, “No way!” Not sure why I thought that, as I usually am right about most things, but I did
No2liberals links to this article, The Pathology of Liberalism. Maybe some of you caught the post at Nuke’s News and Views, but it was posted during February, which was a time when Ted was going through numerous medical issues, so, I missed it at the time. From The Pathology of Liberalism:
I suspect that at the core of liberal “thinking” is the same kind of pathology that characterizes other mental disorders, i.e., a glitch in the brain that produces “feelings” and behavior over which liberals have no control.
For instance, liberals are uniformly glum, not only in their grim demeanors and persistent anger, but also in their outlooks. Even in the flush of their midterm victory, they could hardly conceal their endemic rage, in spite of a brief moment of toothy, appliquéd smiles.
This is because their worldview is uniformly negative. When things are good, they see only the bad and invoke the Misery Index cited routinely by Jimmy Carter and resurrected by the dour wannabe president John Kerry. When things could be better, they see only that things could be worse. When their theories are refuted by hard fact, they are unable to process the true from the untrue because their feelings tell them otherwise. For instance:
- In an unprecedented stellar economy – with the GDP, employment, housing sales, and consumer confidence up, and inflation, the trade deficit, and crude oil down – liberals see only the “threat” of recession.
- In measurable improvement in education, liberals see only “too much testing.”
- In the face of 3,000 lives being exterminated by Islamic terrorists on September 11, 2001, liberals see a non-existent threat.
- In the Iraq war, which has liberated 25 million people, liberals see, to quote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “not a war but a situation” and a “catastrophe.”
- Worse, the liberals among us see that all of our country’s problems are the fault of, yes, America!
Now, I caught a lot of crap at the Democratic Underground for the statement I wrote in my About Me section. I was really new to blogging at the time, and I have to admit, those freaks creeped me out a bit. My blog was getting lots of hits, but they weren’t commenting here, instead, they were mocking me and talking behind my back on their own little retarded thread. These goons said a lot of nasty things, and some hilarious things (in an attempt to be nasty), but I think they really crossed a line when they called Harley ugly. Just sayin’.
My point is, I’ve always thought hard core libtards had mental issues and it turns out they do. I guess this post is my way of telling them, “I told you so!”
Thanks No2liberals
Tieki Rae blogged on it when it happened.
