"liberals and conservatives literally think differently, researchers show."....How profound!
"UC Berkeley professor who published it"....This says it all. LOL
WASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.
"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."
While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to "the vast right-wing conspiracy."
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.
Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton can only be understood as a psychological disorder.
Sure...Going to be a long beautiful summer. Enjoy.)
Pathetic: Miserably or contemptibly inadequate...Describes obama perfectly.
Plan for defending America??? He has none.
Agree.)
Maybe he thought that was Katie Couric? I'd shoot her too.
When can we expect the 1Q report?
How about "Good for shit".)
And what shall we call obama in honor of his plan for the defense of America???
Correction...Nancy makes a lot of Americans feel like punching her in the face.
Of course he cried...He's from San Francisco.)
Oh God NO! No way did I mean to compare Bush to obama. I highly disagreed with the TARP bailout but obama is on an entirely different level. Our current President is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
Bush SUCKED too. We need men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
obama SUCKS as POTUS! EOM.)
Its the liberal way.)
"Where oh where are the critical thinkers that can think at least two moves ahead."........Obviously not in Washington, D.C.
I felt the same then as I do now...We went after the wrong Country. The true enemy of the world is still alive and well in the middle-east.
"I guess you thought attacking a country that did nothing to us was a good option?".....How do you presume to know what I think?
He's removing the threat of a nuclear response. THREAT: a declaration of an intention or determination to inflict punishment, injury, etc., in retaliation for, or conditionally upon, some action or course.
Thats not what I said...But the threat needs to be there.
And you think research and development is no longer necessary when it comes to nuclear weapons? Idiotic in todays world. Be realistic.
What country in the world (excluding Kenya) can't launch a massive cyber attack on the United States?
Hello Sox...Read this again... The declaration came out of the Obama administration's revised nuclear policy, under which the United States is committing not to develop or test any new nuclear weapons. The document is aimed at leading the world in reducing nuclear stockpiles, though some are concerned the country could put itself in danger if others don't follow.
I explained it perfectly with that response...Other countries in the world do not have a child's mentality. It appears our President does.
The world is not San Francisco.
It does not make us look weak...It makes us weak. And in todays world this policy is very dangerous. This President is China's dream come true.
Please read the last sentence in the last paragraph carefully......The United States will pledge not to use nuclear weapons against most non-nuclear countries -- no matter what they use against us -- but will keep "all options" on the table for nations like North Korea and Iran, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday.

Correct...And don't forget a massive cyber attack would devastate our economy.
Just when you think you heard it all.....Sen. Tom Coburn drew ridicule last month for trying in vain to prohibit sex offenders from getting Viagra prescriptions under the new health care law.
But Coburn is now having the last laugh after the Congressional Research Service confirmed his assertions that sex offenders not in prison could get Viagra and other drugs treating erectile dysfunction under health plans subsidized by taxpayer dollars.
And you believe him? I can't argue this point any further...You have no capacity to reason.
"As for Ahmadinejad he wants Israel elsewhere as he states it was Germany who caused the problem and Israel whould have been taken as part of Germany or Europe as more lived there (but not after the war). He's not advocating for the abolishment of the people. Plus he's not the power in Iran as you should know it's the clerics."...........Who is Ahmadinejad to decide where Israel is to be located? The clerics dictate what Ahmadinejad says. And what is it about "wiped-off the map" don't you understand?
Its not what the Iranian government has done...Its what they will do....Ahmadinejad repeatedly demonizes the state of Israel and openly calls for its destruction at every opportunity. Most notoriously, he described Israel as a "fake regime" that "must be wiped off the map."
Do you believe in private ownership of firearms?
You have got to be kidding.)
"as he should"...Tell me why that is a good idea? "and yes I play poker every week"...Do you ever win?
Senate Republicans on Tuesday slammed one of the Obama administration's most controversial judicial nominees for failing to initially disclose more than 100 of his speeches, publications and other background materials -- an omission the Republicans called unprecedented and a possible attempt to "hide his most controversial work."
They said Goodwin Liu's nomination to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is in "jeopardy" in light of the problem.
The complaint came after Liu, a Berkeley law professor, gave the Senate Judiciary Committee a bundle of supplemental material that contained 117 things he left out after his February nomination.
Among the items disclosed were several speeches on affirmative action and his participation at an event co-sponsored by the Center for Social Justice at Berkeley and the the National Council of La Raza, a Latino advocacy group.
"early 2010 price target of $0.40". Sounds great. When?
