Poll question: Is Neoconservatism A Mental Disorder?
Edited on Sat Aug-21-04 08:04 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
I just get back from perusing www.lucianne.com and am beyond words to describe my experience but I'll try...


According to them everybody is a liar but the Swift Boat Vets despite the fact that several of them have been caught in obvious inconsistencies and changing their story sometimes several times...

They remind me of the out of step soldier in the marching band who thinks everybody else is out step but them.


Is neoconservatism a mental disorder?



P.S. They universally agree the man at the Chicago Tribune who corroborates Kerry's story is a liar.

Why?

Because he writes for a liberal newspaper.

3. I voted "no" because I don't think being a selfish brat is a
psychological disorder.

6. It's Larger Than Being Selfish...

They have a distorted view of reality...


Look in the DSM IV... under paranoid schizophrenia...


If I read an objective account in the newspaper of an event and I believe the writer is lying because he is against me then I am exhibiting evidence of paranoid schizophrenia....



This is a greater malady then not wanting to share the ice cream with your sister....

4. Anyone Who Lives In Chicago Knows the 'TRIBUNE' is NOT a liberal paper
Edited on Sat Aug-21-04 09:58 PM by The Nation
that's their first problem.

and yes, i think being a neocon FOLLOWER is a mental disorder, but I think the brains behind it all, the wolfowitz's and cheney's of the world are just pretending and really in it for the money. it's all about the money, GREED GREED GREED. :puke:

EDIT: the funnest line someone said, in response to the mass of protestors that will descent upon NYC for the repuke convention

"bs.. i am excited and waiting for W to do it again .... bring 'em on anarchists.. the city is not merely for anarchists.... W belongs here .. he walks the walk in the jungles of concrete." HAHAHAHA :wow:

5. Neoconservatism is not a mental disorder
Neoconservatism is no more a mental disorder than advocacy of colonialism or slavery. It's just a wrong headed ideology that presumes the right of some perceived elite group to govern the masses without consent.

Of course, that doesn't mean that neoconservatives aren't occasionally delusional, as is anybody who thinks the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is an organization of honest men or that the Chicago Tribune is a liberal newspaper. Next thing you know, they'll be saying that Saddam had a biochemical arsenal or ties to al Qaida.
