In order to understand how mental illness correlates to liberalism, we should investigate and explain each.
In the medical world, more specifically, the psychiatric world, the "bible" is a book called the "DSM-IV-TR." It stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Doctors use this book to diagnose certain mental diseases (most of them). There is a subset of mental illness called personality disorders (PD).
"Personality disorder is a general term for a type of mental illness in which your ways of thinking, perceiving situations and relating to others are dysfunctional. There are many specific types of personality disorders."
There are 3 major categories of PD's. They are called 'clusters.' Cluster A, Cluster B, and Cluster C. In each of the clusters, there are subtypes of diseases. Let's make this clearer. I will be very broad.
Cluster A is defined as Odd and Eccentric Behaviors: In this cluster there are the following subtypes:
1) Schizoid PD
2) Schizotypal PD
3) Paranoid PD
I won't go too much deeper because it I may loose you. However, I will tell you the specific criteria and such for the disorders as it correlates to liberalism.
Now let's talk a little politics.
In the "beginning", we, conservatives were called "liberals." Actually we are 'classic liberals.'
Conservatives believed (in the begining) that things should not change. When you discussed conservatives in the age of kings and theocracy (church was the ruler) then you were right to say that this type of 'conservatism' is evil, as the rulers wanted to conserve their rule. When you would say, "I'm a liberal" you would, in essence, be saying that you wanted to be free or liberated.
It's not complicated. Then in the time of John Locke (1632-1704), things began to change. Free men wanted to be free. Locke talked about "Natural Rights." You can translate that as your "unalienable right." INalienable rights are different, so becareful which one you use.
You are probably familiar with the term "Unalianable rights" as it is in the Declaration of Independance .
Unalienable rights are rights that "incapable of being alienated, that is, sold and transferred." This includes LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. That means that the government cannot take those away from you because they cannot GIVE them to you. Your creator has given you those natural rights, not the government. You understand this?
So when did we change? In the beginning of the 20th century in the United States (and in the 19th century in europe, which infested itself here) " liberalism began to shift its emphasis from protecting individuals from oppressive governments to using government as a device to enable individuals to achieve a more meaningful and rewarding life"
So now you have a complete shift. People did not realize (or did not care) that a government that is powerful enough to give you something, was powerful enough to take it away ( a paraphrase on the great Jefferson quote). One of the 'something' that he must have been talking about were the Natural rights. You see, if a people can be convinced that there Natural rights, were not actually "natural" or unalianable, then people would have no issues with government taking them away, which remember it can't do because it can't give them to you in the first place.
The people, liberals, believe that everything should be equal, not for the sake of bettering a person but because they feel and believe that you may have too much. This, of course, does not apply to them. They believe that they know better than you, what you should do with your natural rights.
A factor that is undeniable and cannot be disputed, but is often the focus of attack by liberals is that your labor ( the consequence of your time doing something while you are on this mortal-coil) is not really yours. Well, if the fruit of your labor is not yours, whose is it? Who gets to decide who it goes to? Who gets to decide how much goes to who? Then, what happens when it (the fruits of your labor) runs out? Who will provide more fruits? These are questions that are not able to be answered by the liberal. Instead they attack your person as "greedy" and "uncaring about the less fortunate." They call claim that if you want to keep the fruits-of-your-labor that you are just a "fat cat." Some things that the liberal does is use force, with threat of libel and reputation destruction (and perhaps physical violence) that if you do not forcibly give the fruits, on your own volition, then you will be punished. The punitive factors can be something as small as being called names, to having your business destroyed, to violence. The liberal does not care what the consequences of his action of the theft is on you (and I do mean you personally or your family or your business, etc). Instead they focus on the 'ends.' To them the 'ends justify the means.' This is of course, as long as it does not effect them in the negative light and may even make it profitable for them. In fact if it does portray them in a negative light, the liberals become full of righteous indignation. They yell from the mountain tops of how they are insulted and that the injustice of the insult, shall change the core of their inner-being. All this while they ignore the truth. The truth is a constant casualty in their assault on anyone who does not agree with them. This almost seems as though they are antisocial. This bridges perfectly into our first PD, Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD).
Let's look at the characteristics of APD vs Liberalism:
1) Drug use: APD and liberals (Obama himsself claiming to have done drugs in high school).
2) Narcissism: APD and Liberalism. They both believe they both have a sense of extreme entitlement.
3) Lying: APD and liberalism. They both lie to get what they want.
4) Remorseless: APD and liberalism. Both parties do not care who they hurt as long as they get their way. This is a key to diagnosis. People with APD are the serial killers (not calling libs, serial killers, relax), the Casanovas that leave people penniless. They just don't care, period. They have no conscience.
5) Charm (superficial): APD and liberalism. Both are very smooth talking, a la Clinton. Even Carter had a charming little southern thing going. Obama is Joe Cool.
6) Rights of others: APD and Liberalism. Both parties do not respect the rights of others.
7) Aggressive, violence: APD and liberalism. While the liberals do not, as a society, promulgate violence, they do not hesitate to use it to achieve their goals. This is the same for APD.
8) Poor behavior control: APD and liberals have poor self control. This is witnessed, in the liberal, case as them trying to shout down any conversation they do not agree with.
9) Explosive anger: APD and liberalism. Just say "abortion is murder" or "welfare mother." See what happens.
10) Persistant irritability: APD and liberals. Aren't the libs always looking for an enemy? Big oil, big pharma, etc.
This is the tip of the iceberg.

Cell phones and cancer, is there a link? No! Duh!
Writing for one of my favorite blogs, Science-Based Medicine, is Dr. David Gorski. Let me give you some of Dr. Gorski's creds and then I'll discuss why believing that Cell phones causing cancer is about as likely as Nancy Pelosi saying "No thanks, I don't believe in Botox and plastic augmentation."
Dr. Gorski
"David H. Gorski, MD, PhD, FACS is a surgical oncologist at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute specializing in breast cancer surgery, where he also serves as the American College of Surgeons Committee on Cancer Liaison Physician as well as an Associate Professor of Surgery and member of the faculty of the Graduate Program in Cancer Biology at Wayne State University."
Dr. Gorski has one credential that caught my eye. As you may or may not know I loathe alternative medicine ("alt-universe") in terms of their pseudoscientific views on the trappings of illnesses, treatments and how the body functions. They take these troglodytic views and spew them as fact. The public believes them because they have initials after their last names and because they (the public) believe that all of medicine is in some sort of secret society (complete with rings and a secret handshake) that wants only money and will not tell them (the public) the 'truth' on simple treatments. Ask some of the women that have used alternative therapy for their breast cancer...oh wait you can't! Their dead!
Back to Dr. Gorski. What caught my eye is the absolute disdain the "alt-universe" has for him. They try to impune his credibility with argumentum ad personum, not with fact. When I see that, that tells me they are afraid of him because he can expose them for the snake-oil salesman they are. By the way, I do not agree with everything Dr. Gorski says. I don't have to and I shouldn't because not only am I a physician with my own views and experiences (and yes, I do read the majority of the research that comes out, germane to me) but I am a human being with a brain that functions (ask my wife, she will dispute that fact from time to time). Only sheep follow blindly, ask the Obama voters...But, I digress. Here are some examples of the "alt-universe's" hatred for him (taken from the link above):
1: "You know, I was reading the oracknows site the other night & you know how all the pro-poisoning people are - they have this little skeptics circle or whatnot. "
3
There are way too many for me to list or even care to discuss.

The author of the above blog has great credentials (snort) and has your best interest at heart. That's why he sells Magnesium with SRT! SRT stands for "sustained release technology." And it's patented, don't ya know! Wow! It must be amazing, it even costs $114.97 (plus S&H) for 4 bottles. Wow! It's got that cool "SRT" moniker and it's expensive. It must be good!
The fact is, you can by a product, over-the-counter, called "SloMag" for about $8-$15…or you can show your idiocy and spend the money for the patented “SRT” Man, if only drug companies were that smart!

Let’s get to the meat and potatoes of this. Cell phones do not cause “brain cancer” There have two MAJOR studies that say they have not and show why they do not. If you want to read the details, click on the title of this heading. The bottom line is that people get brain tumors and people also use cell phones. There has not been an increase in brain tumors in correlation to the increase in cell phone usage. Also, the technology has gotten better in order to pick up smaller tumors. This in no way correlates to cell phones.
Let’s use an example “if I eat carrots then I will dies from something.” Yes, that prima facia statement is true. “If you eat carrots then you will die”, is true because everybody dies. However, when looked more closely, you cannot correlate the eating of carrots to death from “something”. Certain parameters must be set up such as:
1) If you didn’t eat carrots would you still die?
2) If you did eat carrots, what quantity would you have to consume to in order to die?
3) What is that “something”?
4) How long would you have to have consumed carrots in order to doom yourself?
5) What about people who have a known predisposition to death (it’s called life), who do not eat carrots, will they also die?
6) What about randomization?
7) What about mixing carrots and peas? Will that have an inhibitory or synergistic effect? Which peas and carrots, specifically? What quantities? Will someone eat a placebo pea and/or carrot to find out? What is that placebo going to look like? What's it going to taste like? Will the people taking the placebo know they are taking a placebo?.......yada- yada- yada.....
8) Why do people with hair plugs and comb-overs think that it looks natural?
9) Why do women get offended when men stare at their breasts if they are wearing something low cut?
See, you can make anything nonsensical (except #8 and 9, which I really do want an answer to) seem valid. So go on, and use your cell phone and put it up to your head and stick that blutooth in your ear and text while driving, you won’t get “brain cancer”
Well, I won’t say you won’t, but I will say the evidence does not support it and the fact that you text while you drive just shows you’re an idiot. Nothing to do with anything, just “you’re an idiot.”
Thank you, and good night.

Chiropractors, thy end is near, hopefully
As all who know me, know that I cannot stand chiropractors and naturalists (Tooth Fairy Science, thanks Dr. Hall!) because they are harming people. They pretend to know as much as physicians, but on the contrary know nothing.
Here's some excerpts from one of my favorite blogs SBM about how the end is near for chiropractors! Hip-Hip-Hooray x 3!
"In the 114 years since chiropractic began, the existence of chiropractic subluxations has never been objectively demonstrated. They have never been shown to cause interference with the nervous system. They have never been shown to cause disease. Critics of chiropractic have been pointing this out for decades, but now chiropractors themselves have come to the same conclusion."
"The chiropractic subluxation is the essential basis of chiropractic theory. A true subluxation is a partial dislocation: chiropractors originally believed bones were actually out of place. When x-rays proved this was not true, they were forced to re-define the chiropractic subluxation as “a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.” Yet most chiropractors are still telling patients their spine is out of alignment and they are going to fix it. Early chiropractors believed that 100% of disease was caused by subluxation. Today most chiropractors still claim that subluxations cause interference with the nervous system, leading to suboptimal health and causing disease."
Let us hope and pray that this will be a quick death. Amen.

Why veggie-heads are morons
Let me qualify the title. Some people are vegetaries or vegans because of "personal choice." They don't try to ram it down your throat (just like another subset of our citizens, "we're here, yadda-yadda, get used to it!"), they just go about their daily lives without fanfare.
Now to the nitty-gritty. There are people in this world that think meat is "murder." The majority of those people are pro-abortion. There are those that eat only vegetables because they want to "save the planet." Let's discuss the lunacy of the latter. First, as humans, we are omnivores. In fact, our bodies do not digest vegetables! Understand? No, ok, let's try it this way. When we eat a nice piece of steak or beautiful piece of fish. Our bodies utilize every bit of that meat (or fish). When you eat a fruit or vegetable this is not the case. Our bodies absorb some of the nutrients and expel the rest. There is by far more methane given off by eating veggies and fruits then meat. Also they used to say that cows cause more environmental damage because of the flatulence they give off. Well if don't eat them, we won't be doing our jobs for the environment. So you see, global warming hoaxers are idiots, period. They can't decide which argument they want to stick to.
Also let me dispel another stupid myth. The meat you eat does not stay in your colon, like spackle. It is out in about 11 hours. If you use a colon cleanse, you have not talked to a doctor or you have a lower IQ then the veggie-heads.

Another Black conservative to be railroaded, eventually
Clarence Thomas, Micheal Steele, Condaleezza Rice, Dr Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Alan Keyes, Dr. Walter E. Williams, Dr. I A. Parker, Robert Woodson, Joseph Perkins, Stephen A. Smith, Alfonzo Rachel, Dana White, Bill Cosby, John McWhorter, Frederick Douglass, J.C. Watts...and now introducing Michael Williams.
Pray-tell, what do all the individuals I've listed have in-common? That's right, they are all conservative (to a point), black, and have been shunned by the liberal Black Blackocracy. They have been called "sell-out" , "unlce Tom", "house Niggah", amongst others.
I'd like to introduce you to a conservative star on the rise in the great state of Texas, Mr. Michael Williams.
Mr. Williams is a Texas Railroad Commission member and running for Senate seat currently held by Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Mr. Williams has the support of Jim Demint and other conservatives.
Mr. Williams is black and will be attacked by the left as they think that all blacks should vote for Democrats, regardless of the issues. In fact, the left is keeping a brotha on the proverbial plantation.
You guys in Texas, pay attention.

Oh no they didn't! Ahh, but they did!
Imagine this. You are 21 year old in WWII. You are stationed in Italy. On May 23, 1944, you and your platoon are entrenched in a heavy fire fight against the enemy. The enemy has 3 tanks and 3 machinegun nests. The enemy has dozens of soldiers firing at you. You realize that this is a no-win situation for you and your men. You take the matters into your own hands.
"Van T. Barfoot, crawled to the proximity of 1 machinegun nest and made a direct hit on it with a hand grenade, killing 2 and wounding 3 Germans. He continued along the German defense line to another machinegun emplacement, and with his tommygun killed 2 and captured 3 soldiers. Members of another enemy machinegun crew then abandoned their position and gave themselves up to Sgt. Barfoot. Leaving the prisoners for his support squad to pick up, he proceeded to mop up positions in the immediate area, capturing more prisoners and bringing his total count to 17. Later that day, after he had reorganized his men and consolidated the newly captured ground, the enemy launched a fierce armored counterattack directly at his platoon positions. Securing a bazooka, Sgt. Barfoot took up an exposed position directly in front of 3 advancing Mark VI tanks. From a distance of 75 yards his first shot destroyed the track of the leading tank, effectively disabling it, while the other 2 changed direction toward the flank. As the crew of the disabled tank dismounted, Sgt. Barfoot killed 3 of them with his tommygun.
He continued onward into enemy terrain and destroyed a recently abandoned German fieldpiece with a demolition charge placed in the breech. While returning to his platoon position, Sgt. Barfoot, though greatly fatigued by his Herculean efforts, assisted 2 of his seriously wounded men 1,700 yards to a position of safety.
Van T. Barfoot, received the Medal of Honor for his heroic action.
But wait, there's more. Not only did Col. Barfoot fight in WWII, he fought in Korea and Vietnam. He also received the Purple Heart (those who have been wounded or killed while serving).
So what's the problem? Well apparently this 90 year old hero wasn't allowed to raise his American flag on the his flag pole. This is according to the Home Oweners Association of Sussex Square in VA. They even threaten to take legal action and hired a law firm. Since Mark Levin took it upon himself to expose this, the HOA reversed direction and allowed him to do this. Even two lib senator got into the action. Sen Mark "duh" Warner and Sen Jim "mellonhead" Webb got behind this hero.
My question is, did it have to really go this far? Seriously, an exception couldn't be made? Of course it could, that's why these HOA cowards dropped this.
Props to Sen Warner and Sen Webb.

When doing your job means you are the enemy
What is a Navy Seal? How does one become a Navy Seal?
The Navy Seal stands for Navy SEa, Air, and Land forces. They are not a special unit, they are an elite unit. Meaning they are the elites of the special units. They are the best of the best of the best. The training required is more mentally intense and physically brutal than any other training in the world. These men and women go into a situation that they may not come out of. Like many of our brave soldiers, they do this on a voluntary basis. In a usual class only about 20-30% make it through. The rest wash-out. If any other industry had those numbers, the industry would either come under intense scrutiny or go out of buisniess. The Seals do a job (10-11 man team) that the entire millitary may have to do. They do it in all conditions and they are good!
So there is no argument about who is the best. This is a trueism. Now let's talk about what is going on:
On 9/3/09 a Seal Team (3 men) captured a piece of shit named Ahmed Hashim Abed (Code name Operation Amber). Who is this guy? Well, in 2004, in Fallujah, 4 private security agents for Blackwater who were delivering things for a catering even were ambushed. They were killed, their bodies trashed through the streets, mutilated, burned and then hung from a bridge,.
This is the picture:
As you can see, these citizens are trying to get them down, and screaming in outrage...No? Your right, you can see one of these people hitting the body with a shoe. The shoe, in their twisted world is a big offense.
Anyway. When the Seals caputered this guy, they "roughed" him up. They gave him a bloody lip and punched him in the stomach. When they got back, a parade was thrown for them. No, you would think so. Were they awarded metals? Not a chance. A pay raise? Try again. Not even an "atta boy!" In fact Matthew McCabe, Jonathan Keefe and Julio Huertas are facing a January court martial for prisoner abuse (or making false statements to conceal it). The man that made this desicion is Adm. Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations.
When this is going on, you cannot expect our brave men and women to fight to their fullest. This is the political correctness gone wild. This is from the same administration that releases terrorists, gives terrorists civilian trials, and borders on sedition. Our brave men and women are dodging bullets from enemies from without and proverbial bullets from enemies from within.
By the way, do you know that the US attorney General, Eric Holder, was a senior partner in a law firm called "Covington and Burling, LLP" So, who cares? Well, this law firm happens to represent 17 Yemeni and 1 Pakistani Gitmo prisoners.
I digress, I think we need to send a message of support to these brave heroes and contempt to those that would vilify and persecute (and prosecute) said heroes.
There's a petition by Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) to Adm. Gary Roughead, who can actually stop this insanity.
