From guess where. Bonus points, if before you click on that link, you can guess just where they picked it up from.
You can just guess what their reaction is...

Funny, isn't it? At any other time, they'd whining as to how phony the shrinks are. It took 'em a while, but they found one they like and now are in love with him. But wait.....
A quick google on the eminent Dr. Rossiter, who, evidently, is a fairly creative plagiarist, produced this: Several years after a Federally funded study found that conservatism was a mental disorder a Right Wing psychiatrist has released a book, timed for the election cycle, claiming the same things about Liberals. Are we to believe that this is a coincidence?
Little known shrink and political hack Dr. Lyle Rossiter has released a new book entitled "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness" that is designed to feed the red meat hunger of Right Wing ideologues at a time when the Conservative movement is on the ropes after seven years of incompetence and corruption under George W. Bush.
Most of its claims are not so subtle reversals of the conclusions reached by four distinguished scholars that were funded by the US Government in a study to discover the roots of conservatism.
The report "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition" cost $1.2 million and was supervised by the National Foundation as well as the National Institutes of Health. It found that conservatism is essentially a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".

I recall reading about the study and may have commented on it in here.
Rapture Ready and WorldNetDaily are sites best opened when you feel an urge to observe a baboon troop but can't afford the zoo.

The hypocrisy shown here almost leaves me speechless.
| It's nice to see someone from the Phd community stand up and call this insanity for what it is. |
I'm sure the symptom cluster that can be used to diagnose a liberal will show up very soon in the DSM.
| While this is true, and I'm also glad to see it put forth in writing by an expert, I know the liberals will just villify him as they do all of their critics. That's part of the childish, spoiled-brat mind set too - never admit any responsibility! Always blame it on others! |
Love it!!!
| I've said for a long time that liberalism, in it's present day form, is perpetual adolescence. |
And that is why most civilized countries tends to be liberal. You know, the old ones in Europe.
And the good doctor says:
| The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious. |
Quack alert! Quack alert!
Now, I don't want to be guilty of the same thing but honestly, I do believe Dr. Rossiter is quite possibly certifiable, and off his meds. (That or he just wants to sell a whole lot of books which is more likely.) I can't wait to show this to Michelle.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

I sent the good doctor a note:
Dear Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr.
For a while there I was worried that your thesis called:
"THE LIBERAL MIND:The Psychological Causes of
Political Madness" lacked peer review. But then I noticed your "Praise and Kudo's" page.
See: http://www.libertymind.com/index.php?page_id=272
Boy was I relieved.
So, how long do you think it will take before the liberal symptom cluster that you have identified will show up in the DSM?
Sincerely,
--

Thanks, filthy and Kil. I hadn't the time to actually try and do any research on this guy. I certainly didn't know that their was a study about "conservatives". I'd have to read through it though to see how legitimate it is.

Funny how this describes exactly GW Bush´s government, isn´t it?  Just delete "liberalism" and "liberal" from the text.
Cheers! |
