Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr., M.D., a psychiatrist and the author of The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness, says:“In his determination to control the world, [the liberal] constantly defends himself against what Karen Horney aptly described as the most basic of human fears: being alone and helpless in a dangerous, indifferent world, the nightmare of the abandoned, terrified child. Persons plagued with such fears easily conclude that it is in their greatest interest to dominate others, or to imagine that they can, and to set about achieving that goal through the manipulation of government power.”BABALU: And what does this domination and manipulation lead to? Rossiter says it is nothing less than the “liberal agenda’s principles of coercive collectivism [in which] the citizen’s choices will be influenced by ideals of entitlement, welfare dependency, state regulation [and] moral relativism.”
The liberal, Rossiter adds, isRossiter’s “diagnoses” complement those found in the diagnostic and statistical manual (DSM-IV) of the American Psychiatric Association.“not called to maturity but is instead invited to begin a second childhood. Like the child at play, he is given, or at least promised, ultimate economic, social and political security without having to assume responsibility for himself.”

Leftism is the elevation of fear and anger over courage.
ReplyDeletei like that. they are essentially demagogues who use fear and anger.

I'll dispense with the obligatory back-n-forth of, "the-Left's-insane-no-the-Right's-insane" to highlight some talking points.
ReplyDeleteLet's say, for example, that Rossiter defined the Leftist agenda as one of "inalienable rights, charity, states rights and religious tolerance". Would you still argue that those goals are “insane”? Who knows, maybe you would.
…or let’s take this quote, and change one part of it: “Like the child at play, he is given, or at least promised, ultimate national security without having to assume responsibility for himself or his actions.” Hmmm, which side of the political spectrum does that fall into? The side that hates to give?
