So let's see:
- The gargantuan federal health-care entitlement actually lowers the deficit.
- Progressive taxes on investors and entrepreneurs stimulate economic growth.
- Expanding welfare benefits incentives personal initiative.
- Legislation outlawing guns is something murderers wouldn't consider violating.
- Shuttering terror detention centers, publicizing national terror-fighting secrets and granting civilian trials to admitted terrorists strengthens our hand in the war on terror.
- Juries, who hear taxpayer-funded attorneys in appeal after appeal before condemning convicted killers to death, are cruel and inhumane. But a doctor destroying an unborn baby in her mother?s womb is a medical choice worth celebrating.
Yes, it is April Fool's Day, but such inverted conclusions are no prank. And the black-is-white, white-is-black world of "Alice in Wonderland' isn't just playing at a theater near you. It's also driving the mind of a liberal near you – as well as the minds of several in charge of us. So, what gives? Are independent-minded Americans missing some profound points in this line of "logic?' Or are liberals missing a few marbles?
The latter, posits Lyle Rossiter, Jr., M.D., with penetrating analysis in "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness."
The radical left's politics and its destructive effects on our basic freedoms have provoked many to speculate on what makes these people tick. "The Liberal Mind" answers these questions, providing the first expert systematic analysis of the political madness that now threatens to destroy the West's greatest achievement: the American dream of civilized liberty.
Rossiter reveals modern liberalism's assaults on:
- freedom of adults to make good lives for themselves by cooperating with others;
- families' ability to raise children to be self-reliant;
- morals, rights and laws that protect our freedoms.
"Modern liberalism's irrationality can only be understood as the product of psychopathology. So extravagant are the patterns of thinking, emoting, behaving and relating that characterize the liberal mind that its relentless protests and demands become understandable only as disorders of the psyche," declares Rossiter.
Board-certified in both general and forensic psychiatry, Rossiter has diagnosed and treated mental disorders for more than 40 years. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago and served as a psychiatrist in the Army. Currently in private practice, Rossiter has been retained by numerous public offices, courts and private attorneys as a forensic psychiatrist, consulting in more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases in both state and federal jurisdictions.
The Liberal Mind" reveals the madness of the modern liberal for what it is: a massive transference neurosis acted out in the world's political arenas, with devastating effects on the institutions of liberty.
