Tire Old Cliche – I agree with you that liberals and conservatives have both entered into the “post-decency” age. This also applies to our American culture in general, although there are pockets of decency still left in our country (rarely, if ever in politics).

The point of this article is about liberalism as a mental disorder and I simply suggested to those on this post the comprehensive clinical work of Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter jr. regarding this topic. Dr. Rossiter’s expert clinical assumptions point out the stark differences between liberals and right thinking individuals with “individual” being the key word here. Collectivism creates a downward spiral of behaviors and increased government control that attempt to abolish individual freedoms and property rights. The evidence for this assumption is clear in liberal socialist politics like the ones Barack Obama is advocating.
