Liberalomania: Don’t Drink the Water in D.C.
As a mother, I am well versed in what I call the blame game. For years, someone named “Not Me” has been wreaking havoc on my home. And, since the birth of my son two years ago, my poor, perfectly immaculate children have cleaned up countless messes made by the elusive “He Did It.”
Considering I was once a young child and a sibling to four other young children, I think that makes me a blame game expert. My experience gives me the knowledge that, like my siblings and me, my own children will grow out of the blame game and mature towards personal responsibility. And my research suggests that when an individual remains in a perpetual blame game state, he or she should be evaluated for a mental illness.
That’s why I am worried about the president.
Although it’s long been argued that liberalism in itself is a mental disorder, it usually remains relatively benign. However, if left untreated, the initial infection of liberalism could continue attacking the central nervous system. In some cases, it takes over the entire reasoning center of the brain, and the full-blown disease, liberalomania, sets in.
Liberalomania is a progressive (no pun intended), degenerative form of dementia. Like megalomania and many other personality disorders, some of its characteristics are narcissism and delusions of grandeur.
Liberalomanics are master manipulators and skilled blame-gamers. They not only create perceptions of victimization within themselves, but also succeed in cultivating similar feelings within their voting-aged followers. They see themselves as perfect beings, free from sin, who should therefore receive infinite entitlements. Believing in their superiority, they often are condescending and use manipulation to force others to submit to their will.
Like a cry for help, President Obama consistently shows signs of liberalomania.
The first sign is his limitless use of the blame game. Most of the problems ailing Americans today are still blamed on the Bush administration. During the health care bill debate, Obama repeatedly pointed his finger at “Big Pharma,” health insurance companies, and even the nation’s physicians. Although he was a senator at the time, the financial meltdown was Wall Street’s fault and had nothing to do with our Democratic Congress’ failed policies for which he voted. And, he blames the tea party for lacking civil discourse while he uses words like “tea baggers,” insults groups and leaders around the globe, and demonizes those who do not share his ideologies.
I agree with Durand on this topic. I often disagree with the right but they usually at least make sense and are not perceptually deluded. The left reminds me of the concept of “doublethink” in George Orwell’s “1984″.
On the Left, it’s just fine for illegal immigrants to parade down our city street waving flags of the country they don’t want to live in. On the other hand, for students to wear American flags on a shirt on “Cinco de Mayo”, a cultural insult, not to be allowed.
I agree that the “blame gain” is an actual human and childish personality defect that festers and grows when not challenged. It takes a mother to see the common sense in this and apply it to those on the left who think it perfectly fine to ascribe Arizona’s new immigration law and the concept of controlling immigration to the realm of simple racism or blaming Europeans for all the ills of the world and giving them credit for nothing. The Left is clearly a party of delusion and people with common sense are heartily sick of it.
Obama’s latest tirade, in which he literally shouted at Republicans, “No, you don’t get the keys back, you don’t get to drive us into the ditch” and “under me, this country is finally headed in the right direction”, is a good indicator that Ms. Durand is correct.
Obama defines a lower unemployment rate, lower deficits, and lower inflation than he has generated as “going into the ditch”. He defines wrecking the U.S. economy, industrial base, and infrastructure as “going in the right direction”. To me, this means that he is going beyond narcissism into full-blown nihilism; the desire to obliterate everything in a quest for ultimate self-abnegation.
He considers himself a “transformational” figure. I am now forced to question exactly what sort of “transformation” he has in mind, for civilization as a whole.

If Men were angels, there would be no need of government.
If Men were governed by angels, there would be no need of Laws.
There are never enough sane, honest men to keep a society working;
Laws enable sane, dishonest men to participate, but nothing can be
done to get any good out of insane men, honest or dishonest.
The only reason the US has continued to function despite the increasing
influence of the insanity of the Loony Liberal Left Progressives is the
incredible amount of wealth produced by the US; Now all the tax money has
been spent, and all the _borrowed_ money has been spent, and the further
borrowing necessary to pay for the promises of the Welfare State will not
be agreed to by our creditors. That is the _good_ news; The bad news is,
that if our creditors decide that the US going to default on its debts,
the creditors will cut the US off entirely, and take other economic
(and perhaps military) actions to cut their losses, with bad results
for the US and the rest of the world.
Although it’s long been argued that liberalism in itself is a mental disorder, it usually remains relatively benign.
The current crowd in DC is in the deep trenches of the dis-ease, way beyond benign.
In some cases, it takes over the entire reasoning center of the brain, and the full-blown disease, liberalomania, sets in.
There’s not much of a reasoning center to begin with
(note the tiny common sense particle and personal responsibility node)
It was not due to a failure to update the no-fly list policy. It was not due to the frowning upon of Islamic and Arab profiling.
Yesterday, in a Congressional hearing, Eric Holder refused to utter the word “Radical Islam” in connection with Ft. Hood, Underwearbomber & Times Square incidents.
Holder also acknowledged he has not actually read the roughly 10-page Arizona immigration bill against which he is threatening to file suit.
Fortunately for the sake of our country, there are treatment options.
There is no hope of recovery for the crowd currently running the ship of state in Washington DC. zip zilch nada
The only possible good outcome is that remaining constitutional limits on their agenda (i.e., constitutional limits on power that haven’t been already completely trashed) will slow them down enough until we can toss the bums out.
When it comes to the issues of illegal immigration and islamofascism, you are right that there is no hope of recovery. “Liberalomania” implies an emotional disease that can be treated in the psychologic/psychiatric realm. I prefer the term “spongiform diversititis” coined by Takuan Seiyo. Much like mad cow disease, there is no cure for this “mad liberal disease”. The disease is far more advanced in Europe, where the government goes out of its way to import jihad-inciting Muslim radicals, welcome shariah law, and arrest anyone who complains on charges of “racism”.
In America, the “Diversitas Uber Alles” mentality among our leaders is why Arizona can be excoriated for protecting itself from illegal alien criminals, gangbangers and entitlement-minded racial chauvanists, Navy SEALs are court-martialed for killing terrorscum, and the ideology animating the desire of jihadists to kill us cannot be named.
A peek into the progressive mind
(the word “mind” is used very loosely)
A deeper peek into the origins of Liberalomania
“Thinking” Liberals are in a race to lowest common denominator as both a way to FEEL better about themselves and to get back at their parents for even thinking about success as an objective.
Some grow up.
Great article!!
I couldn’t have put it better, myself… even though I tried something along these lines a year ago. Not only is it still true, the disease has progressed further.
The country seems to be getting over its initial delusion, but there are still pockets of dependency where normal folks would be better off wearing a mirror under their shirts as the heavily dependent are known to use nefarious means to try to spread the infection.
I noticed the symptoms of the disease in university, but quickly began a treatment profile that included avoiding all television and most movies, searching out news from real news sources, and watching for the small things like the note in the midst of a long economics report in mid 2008 that found it curious that a number of European banks decided to deleverage their balance sheets at once. Everyone knows what followed.
You only see these things if you pay attention and do more time reading than watching television. It helps prevent a relapse.
What a sad, self-deluded rant.
Blame? From GW Bush and Cheney, to Fox ‘news’ and Glenn Beck, all
I ever heard was; “Its the liberals fault!”
Right now, from health care to the environment, the ‘right’ offers no solutions,
only blame, and ‘who can we pick a fight with today’.
Im sorry you feel ‘liberalism’ is such a terrible thing.
Perhaps in China, or Iran, or Saudi Arabia, you would feel better about your fellow citizens and their beliefs.
Or perhaps you might go re-read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
You might realize that the ideal that is America was made real by progressive ideas and actions, not regressive ones.
But if hate for your neighbors and friends makes you feel better about yourself, keep on going the way you are.
And you may understand this country was made great by progressive ideas
Comrade,
Liberalism is a Personality Disorder, called Cluster B…Hystrionic. King Rootin Tootin, gut it in a bad way.
There is not a Commilib alive, who isn’t a CEREBRAL NARCISSIST, OR A SOMATIC NARCISSIST.** All ya’ll’s, super human BRILLIANCE and SEXUAL OMNIPOTENCE, is so awe inspiring, I almost pass out, when I hear anything you guys SAY, see anything, WRITE OR DO! I WORSHIP EWE! DON’T EVER CHANGE!

Narcissistic leaders are nefarious and their effects pernicious. They are subtle, refined, socially-adept, manipulative, possessed of thespian skills, and convincing. Both types equally lack empathy and are ruthless and relentless or driven.
I. Upbringing and Childhood
Obama’s early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations. Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old). Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then, his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia: a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. She died of cancer in 1995.
Pathological narcissism is a reaction to prolonged abuse and trauma in early childhood or early adolescence. The source of the abuse or trauma is immaterial: the perpetrators could be dysfunctional or absent parents, teachers, other adults, or peers.
II. Behavior Patterns
The narcissist:
* Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognised as superior without commensurate achievements);
* Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance **(THE CEREBRAL NARCISSIST), bodily beauty or sexual performance (THE SOMATIC NARCISSIST), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion;

I don’t need somebody to give me 2 aspirin when I have a headache…I’m almost 60 years old, for cryin out loud.
And, if abortion is a PRIVACY ISSUE, why isn’t whether I get a gall bladder operation, or pace maker….HMMMMMMMMM?
Obummer is the Commander In Chief, of our military. NOT, the head of my HMO or Welfare Office. M’kay?
Liberal oft-used plan:
1. Propagandize problems where none exist.
2. Propagandize fear amongst the voting public.
3. Propagandize a “solution.”
4. Propagandize blame onto others for why your solution didn’t work.
5. Be elsewhere when others must clean up the mess of your “solution.”
The only ones who hate the US Constitution more than the Chinese, Muslims and other left wing dictotors is the American “progressives”.
The right has many solutions to our problems but they aren’t even let into the conference rooms were Pelosi and company unilateraly make their bills.
This country was made great by men who believed in personal freedom and personal responsibility in equal measure. When “progressives” start believing in those values again then we can talk.
Liberalism originates from growth equations employed by nature.
Conservatism originates from the pederast child-molestation and murder
cult known as christianity, before Constatine in 325 AD converted it
into a vehicle for fascism in conjunction with mandatory monotheism.
As PJM well illustrates, US conservativism operates with censorship and obstrufication.
It’s not liberalism that can be linked to mental disorder, but post-modernism, Progressivism’s underpinning. The reality, denied by post-modernism, is that post-modernism is fairly indistinguishable from schizophrenia- the inability to distinguish fantasy and whim (reality as internal) from external reality.
Motorhead misses the distinction between CLASSIC LIBERALISM (i.e., Jefferson, Adam Smith) and how the reactionaries of the late 1800′s called themselves the “liberals” then changed it to “Progressives” in the 1990′s.
Today, the “conservatives” are the Classic Liberals and the Progressives are the reactionaries/authoritarians. As such, “motorhead” is an apt demonstration that Durand’s assessment is DEAD-ON!

My favorite topic…Libs are FITH..Especially Neo Marxist Feminists. Dr. Ruth Wisse of Harvard said…Neo Marxist Feminism has done to the American Family, what Communism did to the Russian economy, and most of the damage is irreparable.
A Femarxist, is a Greenie, is a Warmist, is a Food Phobic, is a Dad and God hater. All, brutally, emotionally, mentally and SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT! If you have a ponytail, several piercings and tats and you are in your 30s or older, U B Phucked!

While Narcissism seeks to kill the G-d of our forebearers, Hysterical Feminism seeks to kill the cultural traditions of millenia. Both are goals that rival Genesis, and yet both are succeeding. From clinical experience I have learned, never underestimate the power and determination of pathology(EVIL.) Remember Faust.
As with most personality disorders, the diagnostic hallmarks of the histrionic are the evolved childish protections against the knock, knock (or Tick, Tock) of anxiety and maturation. They are the protection against the universal impulse for union and procreation. The monster under the bed has been displaced by anything which smacks of the “masculine”. The anxiety of becoming a responsible parent has been displaced by the eraser of abortion – the power to kill responsibility. The need for security has been replaced with the demand for government entitlement (another person’s money) without having to struggle with human reciprocity. I am woman, just hear me roar!

more Jack Anderson quotes
When a government takes over a people’s economic life it becomes absolute, and when it has become absolute it destroys the arts, the minds, the liberties and the meaning of the people it governs.

It just don’t get any better’n this!
More on Feminism…Why is this such a big mystery? I mean, let’s think about this for a sec…Didn’t PJM get its name from the goofy Bush hater, typing up a memo on WORD, about BOSH being a dreaded deserter? The world wanted to toss him into a chipper shredder, over and over…
You don’t even have to break a sweat to find this kind of absolute EVIL. But, because it’s EVIL, it’s INVISIBLE, AND DAMN WELL BETTER STAY THAT WAY!
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, quotes about Communism:
Destroy the family, you destroy the country.
And, my alltime favorite Commie Quote…
Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, THE UGLY ONES INCLUDED.

Oh yeah, I believe in the Forces Of Darkness vs. The Forces Of Light. Kinda like Anakin, Yoda, Darth, Luke and Obi Wan. I’ve seen Lefties quote Anakin Skywalker, on forums.

Postmodernism is in fact just a tantrum. Post-Soviet reality in particular suits Leftists so badly that their response is to deny that reality exists. That they can be so dishonest, however, simply shows how psychopathic they are.
Juergen Habermas, a veteran leftist German philosopher stunned his admirers not long ago by proclaiming, “Christianity, and nothing else, is the ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights, and democracy, the benchmarks of Western civilization. To this day, we have no other options [than Christianity]. We continue to nourish ourselves from this source. Everything else is postmodern chatter.”
Author’s note: I’ve never heard of Dr. Habermas, and I’m glad he GOT IT. BUT, we don’t have to necessarily LABEL our side(although I DO,) Christianity. See What I mean; http://www.reversespins.com/pacify.html I’ve come up with an acronym…PISSIE. PACIFISM IS SUICIDE, SUICIDE IS EVIL.
On Pacifism and Buddhism
Communism is the polar opposite of the Sangha (community of the Spirit). It is a counterfeit, taking on the name of ‘the brotherhood of man.,’ but without God in the equation, the system will eventually breakdown. Much damage and evil works are done before this happens though. Millions of lives are lost and culture and religion destroyed. It is a battle of Light vs. Dark with reincarnated leaders at the helm who have no allegiance to God, the Buddha, the Sangha and the Tao.
The current Dalai Lama admits he is not the thirteenth Dalai Lama. I think this is born out by the fact that ‘the thirteenth’ saw the need for military solutions.
I do know that the U.S. should have come to the defense of Tibet. They did so but it was limited. There are forces within the U.S. government that have always supported communism. Whenever the U.S. tries to help, these strategically placed individuals subvert the plan at the highest levels and at the scene. Right in the midst of a U.S. trained and sponsored counterattack by Tibetan nationals, the U.S. ambassador to India, John Kenneth Galbraith, refused to send U.S. aerial support, dooming the mission.
Bottom Line: Liberals will not resist evil, because they PHYSICALLY, CANNOT EVEN NAME EVIL…WHICH MAKES THEM EVIL!
You KNOW I’m FOR REAL, because I DO NOT WANT YOU TO FOLLOW ME, ADORE ME, WORSHIP ME. I’M A LITTLE GUY WITH A DIVINE FLASH LIGHT, TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR SEAT.
