I thought this would best be posted under "health care" only because I didn't see a catagory for "Mental Health". Liberals could get disability or Social Security just for being liberal if these guys are right!

Looks like radio talk show host Michael Savage has been right all along:

Although I'm a liberal, I'm reading it too. Savage is much more coherent than Coulter and a few other right wing nuts.

I don't have and haven't read either book, I just thought it was funny that Savage puts out this book, somewhat tongue in cheek, and this psychologist actually come out with a serious book about it ("The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.") I look forward to reading both.

Oh yeah. This is hilarious.
I remember that being brought up when it was new in another site (maybe this one too). It's funny because the same people who usually call anything academic false because of "liberal bias" are flocking to this nutjob because he tells them what he wants to hear.

Of course I read his reasoning more as a reason why I think much of the field of psychiatry is mostly garbage (something I thought many conservatives agreed with me on).
He takes a bunch of ad homs about "how liberals think" and calls them mental illness in the same logic ivory tower psychologists deem every incconvenient emotional or mental state as a "pathology."

But since he's the one ivory tower academic that tells y'all what you want to hear, you'll buy his book. I have to give him props for his marketing strategy there.

i agree. i believe most of the field is based on profit instead of "curing" the person.

Oh yeah? Well it will work too. However correct your observation is above, I'm sure I'll have the last laugh when I read the darn thing (and I'm sure more than one anyway). It ought to give me plenty of ammo for posts here in the forum. Look, at the very least, you can't point to any issues that conservatives are commited to that are anywhere close to the loonatic fringe issues like global warming, gay marriage, depleted uranium, abortion, et al. How the libs just love their sacred cows.

Liberalism died decades ago...

Oddly enough, he knocks "liberals" for big government in support of "limited government", yet is all for the military-industrial complex.

If you enjoy firing blanks, then yes.

how about "Intelligent" Design?
At least global warming is attached to scientific evidence.

How about the obsession with constitutional ammendments to stop gay marriage? All in the name of limited government of course...

How about the idea that the acceptance of gay people causes social disaster?

Adamant anti-abortion people are just as nutty in the eyes of most Americans.

It's funny how all the example you stated above are not part of the mainstream of republicanism, or a major part of their platform.

Also, part of the intelligent design theory is to in some way tie the science of evolution into the idea that the science is in itself God's instruments in achieving his design.

Is a constitutional amendment against gay marriage part of the republican platform? I don't think it is; I could be wrong on that. I do think that it may just be a matter of defending the institution of marriage. That would be putting a limit on government into intruding upon peoples religious beliefs.

Republicans accept gay people. Even this forum has members who are gay republicans. I don't think there is strong support amongst republicans that acceptance of gay lifestyles will lead to a major disaster of some sort.

As for adamant anti-abortion people, that would describe the majority of the Republican Party, however, any militancy especially of the violent type, is strongly condemned by republicans. The throngs of militant pro-abortionists are not only a major influence in the Democratic Party, they belong to the leadership.
