1. Hey, I've called conservatism the same thing, and meant it

Rhetoric flies in partisan debates. :-)

2. Yeah, but that is true.

And not just because I disagree, but because there is actual PATHOLOGY there.

5. Drapetomania, a morbid compulsion to be free

"The DSM has its roots in the antebellum south. In mid-nineteenth century America, slaves were fleeing plantations in increasing numbers. Slave owners called in the American Psychiatric Association (founded in 1844) which quickly discovered a disease called drapetomania, a morbid compulsion to be free. The worst offenders had to be. locked up and treated in mental institution until their illness had been brought under control. They were then discharged and returned to their owners."

6. A girl at my school has a shirt that says that.

I think it is her revenge for me making a shirt on election day that said: Anytime you have the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you your time it up! -M. Moore.

7. Michael Weiner "Savage" coined that term for his latest book

and he is an ex-hippie with latent homosexual tendencies.

He is just a snake oil salesman trying to cash in on ignorant people.

9. There's a little prick neocon on a music site I visit

He has repeatedly called me delusional while spouting his party lies.

He is a real diehard bushbot. Loves to spout those trigger word talking points.

I really think it could be a dangerous verbal threat when they target an individual with these labels. You get a few little pricked pricks who think they are Big Brother's little brother and they start pointing fingers at liberals with these labels and then they create an "incident" that opens an opportunity to rally a cry of "delusional, mentally ill people" which makes the general populace less caring of when they "disappear" you off to the camps.

10. Yes, Liberalism is a disease...

Liberalism Officially Defined as Pathological Mental Disorder

Psychological scientists have made a breakthrough discovery this month saying that they have indeed proven that liberalism is a pathological disease of the mind.
Psychological researchers at Brownhat University have concluded their research on liberalism and it's effects on the human brain.
"It's very much like schizophrenia where there are physical differences between the normal brain and the diseased brain." said Dr. Joan Repubison who headed the research. "Scans indicate that there are areas of the brain that are defunct in a liberal plaqued mind. These areas indicate that the person suffering has epsiodes of political delusion, such as the love of free speech, rational thinking, hatred of capitalism, etc. et.al."
Scientists are not sure however, if liberalism is contagious and they still haven't found out the cause of the pathology.
"We think it may be contagious in that the person will get it from being around others who are affected deeply by this pathogen and being exposed to such literary works as Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them." and Bruce Bauer's "Stealing Jesus: How Fundamentalism Betrays Christianity." or by assimilating liberal-affected media." said Dr. Toby Redephant, co-assistant of the study.
Autopsies on former liberals and those suspected to be liberal were performed and thus concludes that there is no viral or bacterial agent that causes this disease.

The resaerch has been submitted to the American Psychiatry Association who agree that the matter of liberalism as a disease will be put up. It is predicted that it will be published in the next editions of the Diagnostic Statistic Manual as early as next year.


Dr.Repubison hopes to continue her research into finding new ways to treat such patients. She is asking for a $ 1.3 million grant from the federal government to begin studying methods of therapy. She is optimistic that such research will begin by next fall.
"There is hope out there for those who suffer from this disease. They are not lost. Liberalism will be defeated." she said.



Ok end Satire/sarcasm

My mind is fried, must be the liberalism.

Hey, I did the best I could.
