America
is
suffering
because
we're
being
controlled
by
people
with
Progressive
Mind
Cancer.
"Based
on
strikingly
irrational
beliefs
and
emotions,
modern
progressives
relentlessly
undermine
the
most
important
principles
on
which
our
freedoms
were
founded,"
says
Dr.
Lyle
Rossiter,
author
of
the
book,
The
Liberal
Mind:
The
Psychological
Causes
of Political Madness. "Like
spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities
of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs
from cradle to grave."
While
political
activists
on
the
other
side
of
the
spectrum
have
made
similar
observations,
Rossiter
boasts
professional
credentials
and
a
life
virtually
free
of
activism
and
links
to
"the
vast
right-wing
conspiracy."
For
more
than
35
years
he
has
diagnosed
and
treated
more
than
1,500
patients
as
a
board-certified
clinical
psychiatrist
and
examined
more
than
2,700
civil
and
criminal
cases
as
a
board-certified
forensic
psychiatrist.
He
received his medical and psychiatric training at the
University of Chicago.
Rossiter
says
the
kind
of
progressivism
being
displayed
by
Democrats
such
as
Barack
Obama
&
Hillary
Clinton
or
Republicans
such
as
John
McCain
&
Charlie
Crist
can
only
be
understood
as
a
psychological
disorder.
"A
social
scientist
who
understands
human
nature
will
not
dismiss
the
vital
roles
of
free
choice,
voluntary
cooperation
and
moral
integrity
–
as
progressives
do,"
he
says.
"A
political
leader
who
understands
human
nature
will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive,
personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and
social equality on the population – as progressives do. And a
legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment
of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's most
productive citizens,
corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as
progressives do."
"Modern
progressive's
irrationality
can
only
be
understood
as
the
product
of
psychopathology.
So
extravagant
are
the
patterns
of
thinking,
emoting,
behaving
and
relating
that
characterize
the
progressive
mind
that
its
relentless
protests
and
demands
become understandable only as disorders
of the psyche," declares Dr.
Rossiter. He also says the progressive
agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population
by:
- creating and reinforcing perceptions of
victimization;
- satisfying infantile claims to
entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
- augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
- rejecting the sovereignty of the
individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
"The
roots
of
progressivism
–
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
progressive
mind," he says. "When the modern progressive 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 progressive mind becomes painfully
obvious."
