Extreme Liberalism truly is a Mental Disorder

Having put myself out there on this blog, I expect to receive comments and email that disagree with my point of view, but I have been sent such hate-filled comments (those I do not post, but keep for humor reading later) and emails from EXTREME liberals and Democrats (I know because they are self-labeling) that it belies the label liberal.

The concept of liberalism is to support, allow, and activate for the "right to be liberal;" however, I find that most, not all, of the extreme hate mail I read on the Internet is from the extreme left side of the Democratic party. I am speaking of the Huffington Post, the Daily Kos, Media Matters, and many others.

To the normal liberal/Democrats reading my blog, your left-sided cohorts are really giving your cause a bad name for several reasons:

When a person can only level personal, unsubstantiated attacks against the person and not the argument, it is a sure sign of weak mindedness since cogent arguments are what persuade, not personal, and vitriolic comments.

Showing such hatred for someone that does not agree with your point of view is a true sign of fascism and smacks of the kind of thinking that got Germany started down the path of Nazism where those that did not look like, act like, or think like those in charge were to be shunned, at first, later killed.

Such hatred and virulence is truly the beginning of the degradation of mental processes that usually end in a severe mental disorder as defined in the DSM (Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Most hatreds as the DSM delineates are usually manifestations of self-hatred.

Accepting of the fact that there is hate-crime legislation (which I strongly disagree with its enactment on governmental intrusion into the thoughts and motives of its citizens) on the books, the kind of comments and hate-email I receive could probably rise to the level of prosecution. Hmmmmmm... I guess this would make extreme liberalism a mental disorder. Should it be placed in the DSM?

In this case, I would probably have to agree with the DSM that such hatred is usually just self-hatred projected outward towards those that are different. Seems quite an incongruity that the extreme liberals are the ones that exhibit for the most hatred for conservatives, but then want everyone to be tolerant of their "pet projects."

I know that if you are a liberal/Democrat reading this you are going to immediately begin thinking of examples of how the "conservative/right" does the same thing and you might even be able to produce a site or two that supports your contention; however, excusing bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior just lowers the bar for all.

By the way, I have found 15 to 1 of extreme left to extreme right website rising to the level of a "mental disorder." I think the imbalance speaks for itself.

Life and people never cease to amaze me.
