      @moonmonday:

      There are so many logical flaws with this pathetic excuse for an argument that it would be too time-consuming to point them all out. It's more like the whole article – and any referenced media -- is laughably flimsy and a sad attempt to be inflammatory for clickbait. Try again. Or better yet, don't.

      Logic is a liberal plot, just like what Donald Rumsfeld disdainfully called "the reality based community." Reality has a liberal bias.

      For my part, beast775 had me at "Santorum"…wonderful, wonderful Santorum...tasty Santorum…  :puke:

        Hi!

        From the actions of a few people you're generalising a whole group of people who probably don't have anything in common except for the way they vote. Basically, what homophobic people do to us!

        Is liberalism a mental disorder? I don't think so but I might change when a LOT of psychiatrists say otherwise not just that biased Michael Savage.

          Rick Santorum is a rabidly antigay politician who compared gay sex to bestiality. Michael Savage has described gay parents as child abusers. These are the men you approvingly cite.

          I'm sickened by the posts I'm seeing in this forum. I'm seriously wondering of the worship of antigay bigots and of racism is part of some kind of gay nazi fetish I'm not aware of. If it is, let me know, so I won't waste my time responding to this rubbish.

            Are you sickened by the idea of not all gays being part of the hive mind?    I honesty think that's what the problem is.

            I'm a classical liberal.  I support TRUE equallity for all.  I hate special rights.  I believe in equal oppurtunity, no equal outcome.

            Despite all that, I'm accused of being a right wing extremist.  It's funny because I've only ever voted for 1 conservative in my life.

            I'm called a racist, but for over 2 decades I have vote for a black woman as my Congressperson. Let's not forget I voted for Obama twice.

              How you got from someone criticizing two rabidly anti-gay right wingers to "hive mind" is beyond me. Be careful not to sprain yourself making such extreme logical leaps.

                    Left wing extremism /= liberalism.

                    Liberalism is what allows you to be openly gay and not be locked up and subjected to fake treatments for having a "mental disorder."

                      If you've paid attention to the SJW and election topics, then you'd know that gays who don't share the hive mind are deemed to be evil.

                      Even though I have voted for my black woman Congressperson in the last 12 elections and voted for Obama twice, I'm called a racist because I don't like blacks forcing white students to walk through a creek to get to class.

                      Hating Hillary because of Hillary, makes me a woman hater, despite the fact that I support other women as President.  I'd love to have Elizabeth Warren as President, regardless of her apparent native American lie to get a job at Harvard and UPenn.

                      I hate Trump just as much as I hate Hillary, but somehow I'm a Trump supporter.

                        Maybe you need to recheck the name of this section of the forum.

                        Why are you comparing it with Breitbart, when we have pro Hillary/anti Trump threads here?

                          I don't understand how anyone can be gay and a Republican.  Those people hate you.

                            Like the poster above, I didn't realize I'd stumbled into a Breitbart lunacy competition. I think that the forums and the site would be better without the politics and debate section.

                              You are willing to insult people, while complaining about having this section.

                              Quite telling.

                              If you don't like this section, you should just ignore it.

                                        I do at least partially agree that liberals (in the modern sense) have a mental disorder.

                                        They justify violence against those who they disagree with.  Don't like what someone is saying, riot and set the building his speaking in on fire.  If he's outside, so you can't set fire to the building, then sucker punch him.  If you even think someone might believe something you don't like, no proof needed, then you are completely right to beat them down and continue beating them while they lay unconscious on the ground.  Another lovely liberal tactic is to scream about sexual assault even when the video proves it never happened, in an attempt to justify your violence.  Block roads and prevent ambulances from getting through.

                                          In this "complaint" about liberalism, there is no actual complaint about liberalism.
                                          There is only childish accusations, such as pretending that liberals engage in violence, when in reality conservatives have a MUCH higher tendancy towards violence.

                                          Whenever conservatives complain about liberal ideology, all they do is show that they don't understand it. It's like when Creationists make fun of evolution.

                                          The OP pretends that liberalism is a mental disorder, based on the opinion of a right-wing conservative pundit.

                                          That is like asking a Nazi for their opinion of Jews, or a member of the KKK their opinion of blacks, or a right-wing conservative pundit their opinion of gays.

                                          In reality, real psychologists have weighed in on this topic.

                                          The more educated someone is, the more liberal they tend to be.
                                          The higher someone's IQ, the more Liberal they are.
                                          Scientists tend to be overwhelmingly Liberal.
                                          The states with the highest levels of education are Blue. The lowest ones are Red.
                                          As Conservatives love to complain about, Hollywood is overwhelmingly Liberal- because Creativity is a Liberal characteristic.

                                          As it turns out, Liberalism is a trait that advances the evolution of the species, while conservativism holds it back. Previously psychologists did not want to call Conservativism a mental disorder because of political backlash- now they are starting to be honest about it.

                                            The only reference to data, however vague it is, in the Psychologytoday link is:

                                            Analyses of large representative samples, from both the United States and the United Kingdom, confirm this prediction.  In both countries, more intelligent children are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children.  For example, among the American sample, those who identify themselves as “very liberal” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 106.4, whereas those who identify themselves as “very conservative” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 94.8.

                                            Which is just odd to treat as meaningful. Kids never have a firm grasp of what is going on in politics because they don't have the experience to understand what is at work. So who cares what the political beliefs of children are?

                                            As far as the amygdala argument, you could say that liberals having an underdeveloped amygdala leads to them not having a proper response to threats to their environment. For instance you could argue liberals while wanting to be nice and let in refugees are ignoring a potential threat since 'refugees' have been frequently found to be sympathetic to terrorist causes in Europe. Essentially meaning they're overly naive.

                                            When it comes to the livescience.com story suggesting that conservatives are prejudiced, I'm not actually seeing any link on the page to the study in question. Trying to search for what study this article is based on just turns up more links to the specific article so I can't see what they're actually doing, but I strongly suspect it's a tad bullshit like many 'studies' which amount to nothing more than surveys with leading questions.

                                            I think you are likely reading more into clickbait 'news' articles than you really ought to. It's pretty easy for some writers to come up with some flamboyant headlines to grab clicks based on the most bullshit information.

                                            Like this article from Livescience recently: Has the Large Hadron Collider Disproved the Existence of Ghosts?
                                            http://www.livescience.com/57973-has-large-hadron-collider-disproved-existence-of-ghosts.html

                                            How the fuck can something like that be an article? Why are you taking a site like this seriously?

                                            Or this Psychologytoday site, which has such profound articles as "The science of clean" and "Nine signs you're really an introvert". This is about as bullshit a site as Buzzfeed for fuck's sake. These are not sites you should be using to judge people's political beliefs. These sites thrive on feeding you comforting bullshit that makes you feel better about yourself or just pisses you off, they are not aimed at making you more knowledgeable about anything.

                                            The OP pretends that liberalism is a mental disorder, based on the opinion of a right-wing conservative pundit.

                                            That is like asking a Nazi for their opinion of Jews, or a member of the KKK their opinion of blacks, or a right-wing conservative pundit their opinion of gays.

                                            I don't think you're going to find many critiques of a group from the group itself. Would you expect to watch Fox News and find arguments in favor of Democrats' policies? Would you go to Salon.com to find arguments in favor of Trump? Would you go The New York Times to find non-fake news?
