Warner accuses the right of engaging in "witch-hunting, puritanical intolerance and hatred."

Man, they need to get out of the cities more often. Put down the latte, back away from your copy of the NY Times, and go for a hike in the woods. Afterwards, go to a diner and see how flyover people live. I can guarantee that far fewer of them are on any kind of antidepressants. They're too busy making an honest living and raising their kids.

I wish Judith and the good professor would spend a little time over on DU and Kos, then report back to us about all the love and tolerance they find.

as someone who had dealt with depression, I feel compelled to say that this professor is a dumb-$h!t. Depression is caused by circumstances, how we react to them, and our chemical makeup. You can have a strong genetic predispostion to it, but never get it. You can be predisposed to not get it, but circumstances hammer away at you to the point where it happens. Again, this professor is an idiot, teaching others to be idiots.

"But it’s also, psychically, a recipe for disaster."

"Psychically."

Huh?

These moonbat loonies are becoming more and more unstable with each passing day... These people must consult one of those 1-900-psychic-hotlines and chant to crystals before they plan their days...

Excerpt from the Washington Post:

In a book review for this newspaper early last year, Warner wrote what must be among the most startling first paragraphs ever. She doesn't explain it, or come back to it in the piece.

"My father, a psychologist, spent the last three decades of his life writing what he called his Book of Love. . . . When he died, in 1995, and I sorted through his papers . . . I found a couple of old manuscripts that had been rejected by publishers back in the 1970s. And beyond that, nothing but notes -- boxes and boxes and file drawers and desk drawers and closets and bookshelves and kitchen cabinets filled with notes. All expressing his passionate and prodigious hatred. Largely of me."

I'm not sure why Liberals continue to make things difficult. It's really easy to understand: THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.

This is laughable. The Left happily divides the world into black and white, when it suits their purposes.

Governs,

I remain in awe of your ability tolerate the venom, hate and garbage spewed by the left on a daily basis. I'm curious, though - where do you go when you want aa breath of fresh, clean air?

Mark, glad you have the disclaimer in here. I can imagine your chagrin when some posters attack you, not bothering to notice that you are reporting on these liberal screeds, and that these are not your opinions.

Liberals don't have values they base their politics on their lusts and base instincts.

"'Humans demand that there be a clear right and wrong,' he said.

Conservatives believe in right and wrong, an objective belief.

Liberals believe in fair and unfair, a subjective belief.
