And all Conservatives are rave whores, Lulz. Oh no wait that's just you.
Because rather ignorant generalizations are such fun!
Okay, okay, in all seriousness no, it's not a mental disorder. No more than Conservatism, at least. Of course, if this was meant as a joke... it isn't funny.
A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.
That's political opinion, and you are entitled to it, just as others are entitled to theirs. But unless you are actually applying recognized psychological criteria for mental disorders, you prove nothing.
Liberals have an inability to see reason, an inability to take responsibility, and an inability to see and recognize facts. They are delusional and gullible. In other words, just the way their leaders want them.
You have one; Savage does not. A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.
That's just nonsense. You have no basis for claiming that liberals over-regulate or ignore personal appeal or talent, because those are lies. America is highly undertaxed, and massively underregulated.
All of it. The liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
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.
When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious
Haven't seen that but will check it out. From his website I see he makes no reference to recognized psychological criteria, only political opinion and speculation as the the nature of mankind. And don't forget it was a common ploy in USSR and Communist China to "diagnose" political dissent as "mental disorder". Do you really want to go down that path?
Ps just found a nice quote form RationalWiki about this chap:- "Joan Swirsky, a fan of the book, notes that it "avoids all the usual psychobabble."[1] We hazard that this is because the book does not contain any actual psychological science."
Just to repeat an unanswered question: "And your psychological qualifications are ...? And your independently peer reviewed research studies can be found....?"
Oh no wait that's just you.

Or
"Rave this if you think Obama is incompetent."
