I read this and although i understand that people supporting obama may be called cult like, i wonder do they want us to be total zombies.

Eminent psychiatrist makes case ideology is mental disorder


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.


Do you guys think something like HOPE is a mental disorder?

I know, the article is based on a book released, so i assume some will read it.

Do you guys think that liberals are nuts, is there any way you could justify that statement?

Nah, don't think I'll be reading it. He already made a silly sweeping generalization-all liberals expect sweeping cradle-to-grave services from the government. Lots of liberals who wouldn't qualify for these programs based on their personal wealth still support them because they believe they are good for society as a whole.

Nope. But a case could be made that conservatives are nuts, most certainly

As long as the government has the duty to respond to the scene of the crash, there will be a strong reason for helmets and seatbelts to be required because costs need to be controlled and it costs more, on average, to respond to an accident where these things were not used.

There's no "duty" to respond to the scene of a crash.

There is by the government just about everywhere, provided emergency services are notified.

That's the caveat. You can't get into a fender bender without some dependent clown calling 911.

Dependence breeds more dependence and statements like "government has the duty to respond" full of semi-truth and assumption makes the situation that much worse.

Where's the shame in taking advantage of it? It's what you pay your taxes for.
