Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder

Anyone who spends the majority of their time listing to the AM dial and has an interest in politics should recognize the phrase “Liberalism is a mental disorder...” For those of you who might not recognize this witty combination of words, it is something coined by the conservative Independent talk-show host Michael Savage. It was also the title of the third book of a trilogy he has written regarding the cause and effect of the declining moral values in America.

As a registered Republican, but in truth, a political Centrist, I can appreciate several of the points that Dr. Savage raises from time to time even if I frequently am of the opinion that his fervor could be moderated a bit in order to make the points of his message more palatable to the masses. But, truth is truth and his points are backed by documented facts.

For a little over a month now, I haven't created a single post in my blog. I have tried to make a few posts in other blogs, but I've been busy (week business trip to St. Louis, increased work load in general, working with my new SUSE Linux 10.1 laptop, etc.). One thing I was able to do, however, is finish reading the book on whence this post is titled.

I'm not going to sit here and go through a whole book review. I am simply going to say that this book, along with The Savage Nation and The Enemy Within, are worth your time and attention.

What I am going to say is simply this... I am of the opinion that Dr. Savage is correct. Liberalism is a mental disorder, and the disorder is so profound and ingrained within the mind of the liberal, that nothing short of their complete and utter destruction to the sub-atomic level seems to have a chance of removing said disorder. Why would I say something like this? Because, people...or as Dr. Savage likes to say, “sheeple”...I listen to both sides, I observe both sides, I collect information from both sides, I process this information, I form my own opinion, and I keep my mouth shut until I feel I have the requisite facts necessary to share a then informed (key word... INFORMED), opinion.

I've listened to liberals like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, John Murtha, Hillary Clinton, Dick Durbin, Barbara Boxer, Patrick Leahy, John Edwards, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of their ilk.

I've watched time after time the liberal push to undermine the security of this nation, to discredit a sitting president in a time of war, how they have treated one of their own - Sen. Joe Lieberman - because he happens to disagree on one point with the rest of the nut cases when it comes to the security of this nation and the war on terror and instead are now backing a true radical liberal, Ned Lamont, as a replacement.

I have read their articles on how America should cut and run once again when it comes to the war on terror. I've read the liberals words vilifying our troops (anyone remember Viet Nam?) in various hot zones around the globe. I've read the diatribe laid out on moveon.org which may be the single most dangerous organization ever conceived of in the history of the United States. I've read their words of appeasement, tolerance, and understanding when it comes on how to deal with the Islamic “freedom fighters.” (NOTE TO LIBERALS: Study your FREAKING history... See what appeasement did for Neville Chamberlain.)

And, I have formed my opinions. Liberalism is a mental disorder and needs to quarantined if this country is to be preserved. Not since the 1940's has this country faced so grave of a threat as the fifth column growing within our boarders knows as liberalism. We think that radical Islamic terrorists are a threat to our society, and make no mistake, they are, but when compared to several of our own Senators, Congressmen, and organizations like moveon.org, the terrorists are nothing.

Maybe you have noticed something as you have been reading this post... I have frequently used the term liberal but not once have I used the term Democrat. Where it is true that liberalism springs from the Democratic party, I do not believe that all Democrats are liberals. But what has happened to the Democratic party since the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency is simply this... The radical liberal elements of the Democratic party have taken control and usurped that which the Democratic party once was. In other words, this isn't the Democratic party of men like Franklin Roosevelt, or Harry Truman, or JFK. No... This is now a party controlled by degenerates. (And I think if you will look closely enough, you will find that a lot of the people now in control of the Democratic party have something in common... It's called the 1960's.)

This is a party that is not interested in the United States being a Republic, but instead would like us to be Socialist. This is the party of Political Correctness, Historic Revisionism, tolerance for Islam but not Christianity, the belief that killing an unborn child is good and killing a convicted child rapist/murderer is bad. This is a party that will tell you the ACLU is the next best thing to come along since buttered toast but the National Rifle Association is worse than the anti-Christ.

Just as I would not want to see the Republican Party controlled by the Christian Coalition, neither do I want to see the Democratic Party being controlled by the lunatic fringe currently in power. Even though I think that Pat Buchanan is a good man, and one who is contemplative and makes several good points a lot of the time, I would not want to see him as President of the United States because I find him to be too far to one side. I'm not even going to get into what I've thought about liberal candidates over the past 25 years.

This is really quite simple... The American people need to take back control of their country from the far left and the far right. We need to step in and say enough. We can not afford to have this country run by inmates. We can NOT afford to have knee jerk reactionaries playing God with our country. We can not afford to buy fully into the “party line” and expect this country to survive. But what does this mean? It means people need to get involved. They are going to have to become informed on issues and then act with the information they have at hand. But the key to this is being informed. (Let's face it, the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was well meaning, but has done a great disservice to our country. The simple fact is that a vast majority of the citizens of this country are simply to ignorant to be out voting for the future of our society.)

If you are a Democrat, I implore you to reconsider your allegiance to your party as it currently exists. Either take it back, or help the rest of us who prefer common sense to help define this country.

If you are a liberal... You have my sympathies. Maybe you can change. Maybe some day research will lead us to a cure for your malady. Maybe you will “move on” out of the country to a place where your ideologies (no matter how well intentioned they may be) will no longer harm this country and cause me grief. Maybe you will wake up and realize that once again, you are on the wrong side of history and if you stay your present course, your ultimate destruction will be as assured as the rest of us you are dragging down with you.
