I like to query lefties: which group, leftists or rightists, go around interrupting or or trying to ban speeches by people with a contrary ideology or message of theirs? Leftists of course. So much for tolerating opposition viewpoints.
Wow. Read the whole thing and all I can say is it’s interesting to observe a “”f***ed up mind” talking about how someone else (a whole group of them) have said affliction.
“The Left can’t wait to reinstate the Soviet era. Right down to the abhorrent abuse of psychiatry as a tool of oppression.”
You have mental health issues, and there are GUNS in your home? Sorry, comrade, you can’t have those things. You must forfeit them to the state.
In the exact same way that the Tooth Fairy captures the national imagination of the under-five-year-old demographic. :)
Do the words “psychological projection” mean anything to these idiots?
Millions more too....
Lol. No bias in THAT headline. Yeah, I’m sure the GOP is “terrified”. Lol.
It’s classic!
“Terrifies”?? I mean, I can’t speak for the GOP as a whole, but I’d never heard of this guy. And, now that I’ve read what he has to say (in this article, at least), my reaction is closer to pity than to terror.
Cloaked in high-minded, flowery language, this is the same mentality that fed the ovens in Nazi death camps.
I’d like to hear his take on the morals of Bill & Hillary
He'd view them as just fine, since they are not rigid in their thinking about morals.
This is the knife the Left uses against conservatives when they fall short.
Everyone on this thread already knows this, but just for the record, this whole line of argument boils down to an exercise in leftist rationalization. Terms like "conservative" are actually relative and have no intrinsic meaning -- the arguments laid out here could easily be flipped: To demonstrate how conservative and resistant to change left-wingers are, consider that reform proposals such as the abolition of welfare, privatization of the public schools and repeal of the income tax amendment would meet with vehement opposition from the lefty statists. "Statist" is a much better term than liberal precisely because it is less relative and a more concrete term for what it describes.
PS: love how all this is based on "observational data" from the most unobservant people on earth.
There's no science demonstrated beyond the bias brought to the effort by the author. Perhaps I'm not being sufficiently cognitively complex but the habit of the left to build elaborate strawmen and then dismantle the same has become tiresome.
Although, I can see how it's necessary to maintain their smug self-satisfaction w/o having to produce anything.
Ladies and gentlemen Freepers, if you don't examine the assumptions behind the nonsense that's being imposed upon us, you've lost the argument! {and you life)
99% of what we fight will collapse of its own weight with a simple, "I see what you did there!"
PS: love how all this is based on "observational data" from the most unobservant people on earth.
It's the same as the "observational data" for global warming - selective and promoted for an ideological outcome - Lysenkoism.
This entire premise is based upon the the defiition of “conservatism” as a reflexive obsession with preserving the current condition. If that were true, conservatives would not be railing against the current condition. If one removes this single block from the logic stream, it all crumbles. What I take issue with is that these researchers are funded with tax dollars. If they cannot earn their living by providing valuable products or services in a free market, they are parasites. Of course they want to see evil in those upon whom they feed, otherwise, they would be the bad guys. I believe he calls it “justification”.
... we proposed to separate the right from the left—traditionalism (or resistance to change) and acceptance of inequality—are indeed correlated with one another, and they are generally (but not always) associated with system justification, conservatism, and right-wing orientation.
System justification seems an ambiguous term. Strange that conservatives are judged as authoritarian, and yet it's the left who consistently impose their totalitarian sociology by force.
Posit is half of position, and neither is science.
