Is Liberalism A Mental Disorder or Personality Disorder or Both?

Freepers consider:

hinckley buzzard breaks out the jargon:

Liberalism is a distinct personality disorder and belongs under Axis II, in the same cluster as paranoid, narcissistic, antisocial and borderline PD's.

matthew fuller goes for teh "humor:"

NO- It's usually a physical disorder- They're normally uglier than sin, with frizzy hair on the "females", although the sexuality is usually impossibly vague.

Lancey Howard has given the matter a lot of thought. Too much thought.

Liberals, thanks mainly to their congenital insecurity, are easily conned and manipulated. They are relentlessly unwilling to admit when they are wrong. (Their bizarre obsession with attempting to elicit “apologies” from Republican officials is an offshoot of their strained thought processes, but that’s another topic for another day.)

Liberals, when confronted with bare-bones truth that challenges their world view, will scrunch their eyes shut, shake their heads, and chant “nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah” until whatever truth it is they find offensive “goes away”. They simply do not have the capacity to revise their thoughts and beliefs to conform to the truth before their very eyes if that truth contradicts the foundation of beliefs they hold onto as a weapon in their constant struggle against their own irrational insecurity.

He goes on:

Interestingly, true liberals are often physically slow and unathletic and have no interest in competetive sports, especially team sports. “Competetive sports” is, in fact, an alien concept to them. To be blunt, true liberals (genuine socialists) are almost always clumsy oafs.

Additionally, liberals really don’t “get” jokes, even if they chuckle as though they do. (Test this for yourself - - try to tell a liberal a joke. For additonal laughs, ask the liberal if he/she/it has a good joke.)

Liberals can appear to be normal people and are often able to handle their jobs and academic endeavors competently. They can usually socialize normally with other people, even if their self-centeredness prevents them from ever establishing a true friendship.

Migraine knows the answer. Jeebus told her:

It is neither. It is an abject hatred of God.

skimask thinks it's opposite day, I think:

Liberals never consider the consequence of their actions or the affect it may have on others. The “Gay Marriage” debate is a classic example of this. The are totally un-repentant and refuse to accept any responsibility. It is always someone else fault. Bottom line, it is a personality disorder.

Epic straman!
