Leafless Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Top psychiatrist concludes liberals clinically nutsEminent psychiatrist makes case ideology is 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." This mental disorder is a socialistic cancer in Canada and has destroyed the normal standard of how the country should be politically governed . http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/front...18104456AAMZe7D Thoughts.

Leafless Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I can only find two or three publications that he has written previously. What makes him a top psychiatrist? The initial article states: 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. I would say this makes the man a top psychiatrist. Dr. Rossiter also has this to say: Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by: 1- creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization; 2- satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation; 3- augmenting primitive feelings of envy; 4- rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government. 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.

jdobbin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 The initial article states:I would say this makes the man a top psychiatrist. But he hasn't published anything since 1991. He certainly hasn't shown how he comes to his conclusions. What are his scientific numbers? Where is his peer reviewed research? There are lots of psychiatrists out there that see thousands of patients. What makes him a top psychiatrist is regards to this subject? It sounds like his opinion rather than something that has a scientific basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gc1765 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 We have so-called "experts" claiming that 9/11 is a conspiracy. 'Nuff said... Quote Almost three thousand people died needlessly and tragically at the World Trade Center on September 11; ten thousand Africans die needlessly and tragically every single day-and have died every single day since September 11-of AIDS, TB, and malaria. We need to keep September 11 in perspective, especially because the ten thousand daily deaths are preventable. - Jeffrey Sachs (from his book "The End of Poverty") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes him a top psychiatrist is regards to this subject? It sounds like his opinion rather than something that has a scientific basis. Of course it is an opinion. However, without a credible rebuttal always discredit and attack the source. You may rest assured you will never see Lib-left loonyism voted to be an illness in the Diagnostic and Statistiical Manual of Mental Illnesses. Dr. Rossiters profession depends almost entirely upon government subsidy and lib-left loonyism for it's existence. It could be that Dr. Rossiter is in private practice and so differs with his brethren and would thus be heavily outvoted at the yearly convention. So no worries that his opinion will turn into a "scientifically" accepted chemical imbalance or genetic anomaly. Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.

I think any source that declares itself a top expert in something should be challenged. I look for research material and A wealth of material that back up the statement that they have the wherewithal to speak with authority on the subject. In this case, the right wing bases their claims on what someone is saying without ever asking of thinking about whether it has any credibility. If a psychiatrist made this claims about the right wing, would you not be questioning who the source was and what research was done to make such a claim? I thought so.

If a psychiatrist made this claims about the right wing, would you not be questioning who the source was and what research was done to make such a claim? I thought so. Yes we, the right wing, base our claims without ever asking or thinking about whether or not the source has any credibility. And as for questioning a psychiatrist about making this claim about the right wing, no we would not question them because we base our claims on what someone is saying without ever thinking or asking whether the source has any credibility. He is a psychiatrist and offers an opinion. Because he is a psychiatrist some one may think it is more than an opinion and I am certain the article tries to allude to the fact it has some scientific foundation. I happen to agree with his opinions but wouldn't go so far as to say the left wing is completely unsalvageable by attaching a psychiatric label to them and subjecting them to a life of medication or who knows what horrible behavior modification treatments could be inflicted upon them. As much as you may agree that it would be the best course of action for the right wing. I haven't read Mr. Dancers reference but I am certain it is merely a contrary "opinion" but being as we are right wing, we won't ask or think about whether or not the source has any credibility.

I gave it only a quick glance myself. I think sweeping comments about the pathology of political leanings to be worthy of the dust bin...I only posted it because, as I said in an earlier post, you can find all kinds of nonsence on the internet....and leafless usually does. ...what may be interesting though is a criticism on the 1st page of the study about studies of that nature...which they go on to ignore.

Pliny Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Then you admit when you said [] means nothing as you are not qualified to make a medically based allegation. Precisely, it means nothing medically nor do I allege it to mean anything medically and is offered as my opinion which, as you say, means nothing. Do you think perhaps it could happen that medical labeling of the left-wing is possible and we could have political prosecution based upon medical opinion? Politically speaking, that kind of labeling would not be unheard of. Your opinion is important.
