Update Reader Whippet1 notes that a professional psychiatrist has come to the conclusion that the liberal mindset is actually a mental disorder:

“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.”

…

“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals 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 liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.”

Dr. Rossiter says the liberal 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.

He’s got a point there. Not to mention the deep denial about all the things they oppose and how there is no factual reality to back up their claims. But as long as they keep talking this madness, America will take note. – end update

The left wing SurrenderMedia has all of a sudden had a mental break down. It seems the stress of losing and being wrong on so many fronts it taking its toll on them. All of a sudden, according to the left wing, a report that showed long term connections between Saddam’s Iraq and al Qaeda’s Zawahiri actually shows no connections between al-Qaeda and Saddam’s Iraq from future 9-11s could possibly result. According to the left wing the 9-11 commission report and numerous news articles outlining Iran’s support to al-Qaeda fighters in Iraq actually shows no such support from Iran to al-Qaeda. And now the mad left wing is saying the recent NIE detailing how Iran’s nuclear weapons program (you know, to develop nuclear weapons…) being suspended after the US invaded Iraqis now wrong and Iran has never sought nuclear weapons (though they had a program to seek them?….).

Here is the latest example, in a string of wild-eyed and fanciful examples, of the insane levels of denial coming from the left:

President Bush on Wednesday said something demonstrably false and inflammatory about Iran — asserting that the Iranian government has “declared they want to have a nuclear weapon to destroy people.”

The Iranians have never done any such thing — and for Bush to say so at a time of great tension between the two countries is bizarre at best.

The Iranians have clearly said they wanted nuclear weapons – that is why they had a secret and illegal program to build them. A program which was suspended in 2003, but also may be up and operational again today (the NIE was unsure on this latter part). And Iran has made many threats of Israel being wiped off the face of the Earth quite soon. Israel is full of, well… people. Only a head-in-the-sand liberal would not see the connection between acquiring nuclear weapons AND promising the pending annihilation of Israel. For some people there just are never enough dots for them to grasp the picture staring them in the face.

And oh yeah, al-Qaeda is not retreating from their failures in Iraq, Lebanon, Algeria and Afghanistan and regrouping in the tribal regions of Pakistan. No, AQ is actually growing in strength and power as the numbers increase there. Hate to say this, but Hitler’s forces in Germany grew as well – as he pulled them all back to defend the homeland after the allies invaded France and Italy and routed the Nazis from Africa.

So, why all the wild claims that defy reality? All I can figure out is the left sees their dreams of winning the White House slipping away and, in their panic, they are letting lose with all their wild and crazy rationalizations about how we are not at war with al-Qaeda, and if we just ran away from the middle east this bad dream would all go away. Sort of sad to see them all go Looney-Toons like this – but it does provide America a clear indication of why we can never let people in such deep, near psychotic, denial be in charge of defending this nation and its people. Never let the patients try and run the insane asylum – they only hurt themselves and others.
