Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder

Years ago, when I worked in the high-tech arena in what is commonly called “Silicon Valley,” I would regularly listen to Michael Savage’s radio program on my way home. I found him to be a great scholar with many common sense opinions. Today, instead of terrestrial radio, he does a daily podcast that is accessible via his Savage Nation website.

A constant theme he pushed during his program back then was the importance of “Language, Borders, and Culture.” This was discussed, among other things, in his book published in 2006, titled “Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder.” which was recently re-released as a free Kindle book on Amazon.

American Thinker did a series titled, “You might be a liberal/democrat if…” that includes many thoughts that are sure to hit home. Observations from Part 3 include: 

• If you think imprisoning your political opponents is the best way to “save a democracy,” you just may be a Democrat.
• If you think that the sun isn’t a big factor in heating the earth, but your neighbor’s lawn mower is, you just may be a Democrat.
• If you think only white people can be racist because of the color of their skin, you just may be a Democrat.
• If you think invasive species are an existential threat, but unfettered illegal immigration is not, you just may be a Democrat.
• If you think words can be violence, but some forms of violence should be protected as free speech, you just may be a Democrat.
• If you think the Bill of Rights got it wrong, you just may be a Democrat.

• If you believe in “your truth,” but cannot accept anyone questioning it, you just may be a Democrat.

• If you believe that making lots of money is bad, but that taking lots of money from those who make it is good, you just may be a Democrat.
• If you don’t think retail salespeople should wish others “Merry Christmas,” but fervently believe Kwanzaa should be recognized, you just may be a Democrat.

These are from Part 2:

• If you are fine with showing your I.D. while entering a Costco warehouse but believe it’s beyond the pale to be asked to provide an I.D. when voting for the president of the United States, you just might be a Democrat.
• If you like the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” but think chants of “USA, USA” are trite, offensive, and possibly violent, you just might be a Democrat.

• If you think NPR is utterly fair and balanced but Fox News is not, you just might be a Democrat.
• If you look at Hunter Biden’s “paintings” and see a talented artist, you just might be a Democrat. (And if you purchase one, you just might be a Democrat donor.)
• If you are glad that Oregon decriminalized possession of hard drugs and that federal, state, and local governments have greatly cracked down on cigarette smoking, you just might be a Democrat.
• If you don’t believe prayer should be allowed in public schools—or at high school sports venues—but do believe that after-school Satan clubs have a Constitutional right to be held at school facilities, you just might be a Democrat.
• If you think “Sanctuary Cities” should not have to deal with the massive influx of illegal aliens but the states that happen to abut the border should, you just might be a Democrat.
• If you have always decried “Big Business” but recently found yourself liking Google, Facebook, Disney, and Target, you just might be a Democrat.
• If you think LeBron James is a perfect role model but Aaron Rodgers is a total and complete ass, you just might be a Democrat.

• If you think “The Squad” is mainstream but MAGA members are far-out extremists, you just might be a Democrat.

• If you purport to believe that the best thing humans can do for the planet is to become extinct, you just might be a Democrat. (Put your money where your mouth is?)

Their original piece was titled, “You might be a liberal if…” and included these gems:

• You think having your penis amputated and your Adam’s apple shaved makes you a woman.
• You think a deadly virus emanating from a city with a level-4 biohazard virology lab came from an animal at a food market.
• You know Democrats made it super-easy to cheat in 2020 with early voting, mail-in voting, ballot-harvesting, and the eschewing of voter ID, yet you believe that no widespread cheating occurred.
• You’re certain that the crime wave sweeping the country has nothing to do with Democrats defunding and denigrating the police, emptying the jails, and greatly diminishing or eliminating bail.
• If you think Joe Biden’s hair, teeth, or compassion for his fellow man is real.
• You’re ready to block traffic, burn buildings, loot stores, and spit on cops when annually, a handful of black men are wrongfully killed by police.  But you’d never leave the comfort of your La-Z-Boy for the handful of black men murdered in Chicago every weekend.
• You fully expect lazy, fat-cat politicians driving around in large motorcades and flying private jets to tony climate conferences to save the planet.
• You watch CNN’s human potato, Brian Stelter, educating school kids on how to spot misinformation, and you don’t laugh uproariously.
• You think Kamala Harris is smart, charismatic, and a great communicator.  Ditto for the Hildebeest.
• You’re fine with vagrants masturbating, pooping, and shooting up on city sidewalks.  But you’d berate your teenager for doing those same things in your front yard.
• You approve of criminals, terrorists, drug dealers, and sex traffickers — and some, I assume, nice people — pouring across our southern border, yet you have a nice tall fence around your home, deadbolt locks on all your doors, and a state-of-the-art alarm system.
• You wore surgical masks, practiced social distancing, quarantined when indicated, and soldiered through the bad side-effects of not one, but two COVID-19 vaccinations plus a booster.  Yet you still contracted the virus and, a month later, have not fully recovered from it.  Still, you tell a pollster you “strongly approve” of the job Tony Fauci, a multi-millionaire on a civil service salary, has done fighting the pandemic.
• You firmly believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, his guards simply fell asleep, and the jail’s video cameras just happened to be inoperative at the time of Epstein’s death.  And you’re certain the Clintons had nothing to do with Epstein’s untimely demise.
• You consider today’s FBI fair, trustworthy, and non-partisan.  And you find Comey, McCabe, and Strzok strangely sexy.
• You think roads, trees, credit scores, punctuality, math, climate change, professionalism, and proper English grammar are irredeemably racist.
• You strongly support the termination and dismemberment of unborn babies at any time in a pregnancy and for any reason.  And you’re fine with abortion facilities selling fetal body parts.  But you’d never in a million years watch the actual procedure.
• You think the COVID tests our federal government is promising to provide, late to the party and unreliable at best, are free.
• You accept Alec Baldwin’s claim that his gun went off without him pulling the trigger.  You further believe there’s such a thing as an “assault rifle,” and if we just closed the “gun show loophole,” there’d be peace in our time.
• When teachers’ unions reacted to COVID-19 by essentially going on paid vacation, thereby doing lasting damage to an entire generation of children, you nodded in full agreement.  Ditto for remote learning.
• You tell your friends that the roaring inflation that just happened to pop up during Joe Biden’s first year in office is caused by corporate greed.  Capitalism, not wild governmental overspending, is the problem, you advise them, nodding sagely.
• Although vaccinated, boosted, and fully recovered from a nasty bout with COVID, you wear two masks and a face shield while driving in your car alone.  And there’s an old, faded I’M WITH HER sticker on your rear bumper.
• You’d love to get rid of fossil fuels, secure in the knowledge that windmills and waterfalls will somehow make up the difference in energy supply.  Yet your pricey solar panels barely put a dent in your energy costs, and now your roof leaks every time it rains.
• You’re somehow able to listen to Nancy Pelosi speak without staring at the wildly arching eyebrows halfway up her forehead.

I hope these observations made your day because they sure did make mine.
